Renfrewshire / records of school teachers around glasgow
« on: Tuesday 11 June 13 00:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, does anyone know if there are any records available listing teachers in glasgow/kilmarnock in the late 1920's. Also does anyone know if women teachers had to give up their positions once they were married?

thanks

Dublin / Re: Deans grange cemetery . FARRELL

Awwww HOPE thank you so much for the offer. I am overwhelmed there are such nice people on this site that are so free with information and help in tracing relatives.
I was lucky enough that John was at Deans Grange yesterday after I sent my post and he found where the grave was meant to be and PM me a photo of it.
Unfortunately the headstone had been damaged and it has been removed in the big clear up they have been having lately  :(
He placed a bouquet of flowers on the spot where it used to be. Such a lovely thing to do.
Again many thanks and I may be in touch again if the offer still stands, if there are other relations buried there.
Best wishes,
Tracy

no problem at all tracy, if you do find anyone else buried there just drop me a pm and ill go have a look for you, im out near glasnevin cemetery about once a month if that is any help as well

Offaly (Kings) / searching for a gravesite
« on: Wednesday 27 February 13 22:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, this is a bit of a long post so please bear with me.

I am trying to locate the gravesite of my grandmothers grandparents they were both from edenderry in county offaly  Joseph( joe) hughes died in 1955 and his wife Mary ellen(maire) died in 1953, my grandmother remembers being in a graveyard around a church possibly near or in in shinrone and being told that was her grandparents grave, there was no marker on the grave but she remembers a map of the graves being on the wall just inside the door of the church, in the porch i guess.Its possible that their daughter Mary ann(annie) who died in 1948 is also buried with them. I have been in touch with the parish office in endenderry and they weren't able to hellp me much, if someone recognized the graveyard and church my grandmother remembers that would be a great starting point.

Joseph and Mary ellen also lost a granddaughter in 1943 but seemingly after talking to our parish priest he reckons that baby would have just been buried with what ever adult had died around the same time in the local parish, has anyone ever heard of this before ?

thanks in advance

hi again, my gt gt grandmother lived about half way up the hill and my grandmother remembers the children passing the cottage so they must have been in a house further up towards the woods, if you have another look at the map i liked to earlier the cottage is half way between kendlestown rise and kendlestown heights ( it can also be spelt kindlestown)

I was having a think about your question and i was thinking maybe the anglician church in delgany http://dublin.anglican.org/delgany/index.php  or the Church of Ireland church in greystones http://www.stpatricksgreystones.ie/  might be able to help you, have you tried contacting them?

I know how flustrating it is when you hit a brick wall and cant find your way around it

Hi, just been talking to my grandmother earlier and she remembers there being a house on the road out of delgany known as upper kindlestown( its the road on the hill thats by the old graveyard) that housed "parentless" children  this would have been in the 40's maybe there is a link there she cant remember exactly where it was but it was on the left handside, she remembers seeing them all walk to church on a sunday morning when she used to be walking to mass with her own grandmother

  Upper Kindlestown, Delgany, Wicklow

its the yellow road with a small road marked easton off it on this map

hope thats of some help

If your John died in Scotland, his death would have to have been registered and would therefore be found on ScotlandsPeople. The fact that he does not come up in a search, could mean that he has been recorded/indexed under a variant (or simply wrong) spelling. A search on SP for deaths of a John Scollan (with soundex on the surname) brings up three pages of possible entries, but reducing it to exact spelling 1891 to 1960 brings up four (with only two of these having John as a first name - the ages are out and one of them also has a middle name, which your John didn't - at least didn't at birth - he could have adopted one in later life).

(I just did a more refined search and found a John -Scallon- who died in the Registration District of Hamilton in 1902 aged 29, which would fit ... Have you looked at that? Or the John Scullion, 67, in Shettleston in 1939 - less promising but not impossible)

He could have emigrated (though a search of passenger lists on FindMyPast 1891 to 1960 doesn't show any with the right age. He could have gone south, but a search for him in the English census returns (1901 and 1911) doesn't show him there. He could, of course, also have joined up and been serving abroad.

I presume we are talking here about John Scollan, twin brother of Daniel, b. 2 Sep 1873 in Paisley to Thomas Scollan and Susan Duffy, who had married 3 Feb 1863 in Paisley? (And had issue - all born Paisley): Sarah b. 18 July 1863, James b. 25 March 1865, Thomas b. 27 June 1867, Peter b. 6 Aug 1869 and Susan b. 13 July 1871.


Hi thanks for all your research forgot i had posted his thread :o, yep that sounds like it could be him  alright, ill have a look at that death in 1902 when i get some more credits
thanks once again
