Tony, Thank you once again for your help. Dad thought that Mary's Father died before she emigrated to Aust. in 1860 and then on to N.Z. in 1863. Her Mother must have still been alive when she left. Dad thought her maiden name was Cluff.

Mary had a sister who married a Dublin Metropolitan Policeman with possibly the name Clark - Dad was not at all sure of that either. I have checked the 1845 on Prot. marrs. but no Clibborn/Clark one. The Policemen's files do not have any details of their marrs. unfortunately.

I will happily check out the Cullen's for you. I am a member of the N.Z. Soc. of Genealogists so will check out their indexes. There has been a great surge in indexing in the last few years just as there has been in your part of the world. By the way where do you live? Have you any idea when the family left for N.Z. and the parents and children's names? The shipping records will give me all these details. And then on to directories. It's all quite exciting to me. They should't be too hard to locate, just give me time.

Regards, Pam.

Regards, Pam.

Valda,
I have a problem which I don't seem to be able to fix. I want to print out the second email you sent me re McDougall. You sent the death details of Frances McDougall around 1820 just after the birth of her son. You also sent me details of where I could look on the internet for the Asylum records in Leavesden for William McDougall. Every time I go into Roots chat both your first email and your second one show me what you wrote in your first one contact - very frustrating.I am really looking forward to checking them out.  have had a good dose of bronchitis so haven't been able to do anything.
Cheers, Pam.

Thank you once again, Tony.
I'll await your recearching results with great interest. It's all quite exciting this end. Mary was a Presbyterian - is that similar to a Quaker?
Cheers, Pam.

 Tony, thank you so much for such an informative email. I will certainly do my best to see the monumental inscriptions for the cemetery in Clonmel. I knew a Clibborn had married a daughter of the Grubb family who owned the Anner Mills. The MI's must surely be indexed somewhere. It's just amazing how good all you people are giving me information on my families and ways to find them. I never realised, when I joined Rootschat a few weeks ago, that this would happen.
Regards, Pam. I'd love to know where you all lived worldwide. I live in N.Z.

Hi,

I didn't realise that you had sent both messages. Yes, it was the Presbyterian Church that he went to.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your comments. I didn't know about the directories. He must hav e retired then. I will check and see what he says if anything other than his address. Every comment is a help when you live this far away.


Regards, Pam.

Hi,

Thanks so much for checking those details for me. That will be him alright, but, of course, he is always out, away, gone somewhere else, usually a long way away etc. A very elusive man and family. There is no death reg. of the death of his 1st wife, he had a child (in Dublin) with another woman very close to when he married someone else in Liverpool. I can't find that birth in 1855 of course, nor easily locate the birth of a third son with the new wife. Just to add to the confusion, all three immigrate, one to N.Z., one to Sth. Africa, and the 3rd to America and then Sth. Africa. Makes researching quite difficult, as you can imagine. Thanks again.
Regards, Pam.

 Hi Bearkat,

Thank you for replying to my query. The Portsmouth Rd. that I assume my ancestor lived on was the main road running south/east from Southampton to Portsmouth. Also, I have been told that the river was nearby, possibly running at the back of the property. He had a yacht so maybe he kept it moored there. I can't be more specific than that, other than the large, irongated house was called Oaklands.

Regards, Pam .

HI,
Thank you so much for your comments on the CLIBBORN family name. I am aware that there was quite a few Clibborn families over the years in Clonmel, but so far have never been able to access all the family trees that may be available. I do have a Rob Clibborn living quite near to us and he has a tree back many hundreds of year that originated in Clonmel but my Mary is not on it. They were a fairly monied family as the original Mr. Clibborn married the daughter of a large textile/woollen mill in Clonmel. My Mary was born around 1832, so she was a bit early for the family you mentioned, but thank you very much for advising me. Maybe one day she may turn up on a tree from Clonmel, who knows.
Regards, Pam.
