Waterford / Re: LOOKING FOR FAMILY
« on: Sunday 08 May 11 06:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi Fraher! Welcom to very best and friendliest genealogical site.My much loved Elder saw this post and the lack of assistance offered thus far,and his collar heated up a little,asked me to give you a hand.He had the same problem with his quest,just a trail of breadcrumbs to follow initially,which through Irish persistence finally brought him what was available,plus of course the aid of some very experienced   people and sites.Now,preamble done with,to a start
You have the rare but not unusual Maurice forename,the last address,an interlinked surname Condon,and census records where applicable.Passenger lists for New Zealand where available.As a last resort,the Waterford Heritage people,costing you a an accepable donation and search fee.For which you will need to have done some investigation into the foregoing subjects,not easy and discipline in the quest is paramount!Keep your objective the main point.
This reply won't give you reason to celebrate I don't doubt,but it is sincerely hoped it may give you a kick start.
Wishing you the very best of luck.

Waterford / info;on binsteed /widger families 1895.
« on: Friday 06 May 11 04:00 BST (UK)  »
Hello all,tricky subject here,both families are related to me,and so familylore  says trained an Aintree,Liverpool,winner in 1895.A painting of the horse.'The Wild Man from Borneo.hung in my G'G Parents parlour until both had died ,after which it is believed it was thrown out with other 'old fashioned' items,such as family photo's.
The Widger family is still a lively group from items in 'Horsey news'.Ihave tried to communicate with them and had no success.
There was a recent piece of info;that reached me a short time ago hinting at a certain relative making journies to Ireland in search of 'extra income'on the strength of our relationship.Such is not my intention nor need,my interest is purely family history based.
The person I would most like to confer with is the G'G'Son of the man that rode the horse,Joe Widger,or failing that good fortune,a Widger family historian of sorts.
It is as you see,tricky and needing superlative diplomatic skills!
If anyone can do this work I will be rid of a Devil that rides my back while it goes unanswered.

Hi Caty,long time to wait for some feedback but better late than never!Ihope you have had some success in your hunt?Mine has taken about 10 years and is only now starting to bear fruit.Mlot started in Tipp;but moved down to Waterford later,to find this out it took a letter to the heritage people in that County.providing details from 1901 census,they did give me a lot of what I asked for,which was good,but didn't match census info;so now my hunt continues,still enjoying it and Ihope you haven't given up?
Good Luck+happy hunting,
