David, Have you had any more findings on your family history? Just curious to what progress you have made.

Ireland / Re: Thomas & Joseph Mervyn

David,
Have not heard from you for a while. Did you ever locate our relaties from the cemetary in Kildare. Did you ever get to the bottom it.
Have you got any more specific details of William Mervyn Snr born 1927 in England in terms of specific birth date or possibly where in England.

David,
I am very sorry for the long delay in getting to you. Extensive searches have been done at our end to locate any photo of Thomas Mervyn or any other connection. Unfortunately with all the Mervyn tribe in Belfast no photos exist. We have had several gatherings and nobody seems to have anything beyond my grandfather William. Photographs were not a big thing in those days!
The mystery continues! My great grandfather and great grandmother Thomas and Margaret (Broderick) had set up a shoemaking business in the Lower Falls area of Belfast making shoes for the police. In those days a very profitable business.
Will update you with any leads.

David, I spoke to my cousing Mary last night. Her mother Margaret (daughter of William Joseph Mervyn) in Belfast had her 85th birthday last night. She is searching for any photos of the Dublin Mervyn's. I did mention the prospect of a Mervyn clan gathering. A generation of Mervyn's in Belfast are dying off. We realise we have to do something quick! Of course a gathering would need time to organize but got to be done before they all disappear!
I will speaking to my cousin soon to get any information. Oh as I remember Veronica was the child that is not named in Thomas' (my greatfather) family. David you have been extremely helpful in helping me - but I have another request. Do you have a family tree at your end. I have got the family of your decendant William Mervyn (married to Catherine Power) along with brothers and sisters) including brother Thomas but do you have a family tree going downwards from the branch of William and Thomas. Will be in touch soon. Thanks for your help in anticipation.

David, This is very helpful information. I am very grateful for it. The picture is becoming clearer. I have that longing now to meet the Mervyn's from Dublin. My grandfather William and greatgrandfather seemed to have lost contact with the Dublin Mervyn's.
What you have given me has helped enourmously. Will be in touch soon.

Thomas Mervyn (your great grandfather) (living in Innisfallen Parade, Dublin at time of marriage) married Margaret Broderick (Prussia Street), Dublin. 1860?-1902. I have records for three of the four children they had - Thomas Joseph Mervyn born 1891 (was he born in Dublin? I had a birth/baptism cert for him from Belfast), Mary Brigid Mervyn (1892) and William Joseph Mervyn (?).
My grandfather was William Jospeh Mervyn 1889-1979. I have no record of Thomas Joseph Mervyn born 1891, Mary Brid Mervyn 18992 or the other child unless they died young! Would someone help me! Martin

David, this is a tall order. If you have family details of my great father and especially his 3 children I would appreciate a scanned copy if you are able to do this or let me know where I can get some of these details. Much appreciatedd your help so far.

Ireland / The Mervyn tree
« on: Monday 21 March 11 21:31 GMT (UK) »
Dave, My brother has some old photos that may shed some light on Dublin Mervyns. He has a suitcase of old photos that may shed some light on the past. I He is due to sort them out soon. We have become a big clan of Mervyn's in Belfast. I will ask my uncles and aunts and see if they have any old photos. Oddly enough there are several different big clans of Mervyns in Belfast. We are 'not related'. Somewhere along the line we must be related! Mervyn is not a very common name especially when we research how many there were in previous centurys. There is a Mervyn clan in Canada. David I would love to speak to you and meet in Dublin. We are proposing a trip there at some time but firstly we are frantically putting together the family tree when is taking shape and fast! Catch up soon! Martin

Dave,
I am still at work but I am very grateful for all your help. It would nice to meet you one day. My dad William grandson of Thomas Mervyn died recently and for the first time we are exploring our roots. It is extremely helpful to talk to you. At the funeral we had a long discussion about our roots. There is supposedly a Welsh connection which given the name is logical. We are yet to get that far. No doubt I will be in touch to fill in the cracks. Will speak soon. Martin
