The Common Room / Re: Help Interpreting Parish Record
« on: Monday 05 January 26 20:43 GMT (UK) »Hi, first post here, so hello everyone!
Please take a look at this record! https://registers.nli.ie/pages/vtls000633941_119 It appears to show marriages in 1846. The names I'm looking at are near the bottom, Thos. Raftery and Mary Leonard. They are clearly written on the page, but they are not indexed on the record hosted by Ancestry.com; the names below them, Mich Hegarty and Patk Leonard, are indexed in the ancestry.com record. I am not sure whether this is some kind of mistake in indexing, or if it perhaps indicates that they were witnesses to someone else's marriage?
I am extremely grateful for any clarity on this!
Ancestry indexing is notorious. Often wrong.
You can see it yourself in what you say is their index entry - a same-sex marriage in 1846? I think not!!
Your interpretation is correct: Marriage of Thos. Raftery and Mary Leonard, with witnesses Mich Hegarty and Patk Leonard.

Ireland / Re: Thomas Goodall
« on: Thursday 01 January 26 22:37 GMT (UK) »I'm the head of the Goodall family in Ireland. This is "through the female line", as the senior Goodall branch (of Wilmount) ended in my great-grandfather having only daughters. My father was the 7th generation of Wilmount. You'll find him at the extreme left side of the late & very lamented Sir David Goodall's A1 size genealogy chart.
A lady on the road up from Castlebridge borrowed the c1845 diary to type up, and I haven't seen it since.
The Wilmount House we are descend from (apart from some more distant Enniscorthy Goodalls) is now in danger of ruin following storms.
There were 4 notable people of interest associated with the house.
I'm Patching the roof to buy time. As a better job greatly exceeds my means, should I try something with crowd funding? Adrian
There are various government grants to make houses more energy efficient/green.
I would guess - though I might be wrong - that patching the roof would be a step towards increasing insulation for the house?
Just two days ago I was told that there is a program that will replace single pane windows with triple glazing. Free, no income requirements. (I have not personally verified this).

Nothing to do with living in Ulster as such.
It is leaving an actual patent of arms (document) to someone.
