The Common Room / Re: Ancestry hint.
« on: Today at 21:49 »
I have an ancestor born in about 1555 and one of the hints for my ancestor was an 1851 census hint for someone of the same name.

So, the folks at Ancestry are optimists!

William H.  Born 1746.

Hint for William H. In Ancestry for the Pension Ledger of WW 1.

There is serving your Country and being dead for over 120 years that do not add up!

That's nothing!

In the US some folks from the Revolutionary War era are still on Social Security books!

Clare / Re: HILL family - Kilnoe and Tuamgraney; Caherhurley; Ballymalone
« on: Wednesday 16 July 25 06:36 BST (UK)  »
If OP is happy with the location of the townland, as opposed to the specific plot, then it is here
https://www.townlands.ie/clare/tulla-upper/tomgraney/scarriff/ballymalone/

And here is the location of Caherhurley.
https://www.townlands.ie/clare/tulla-upper/kilnoe/caherhurley/caherhurly/

Note that it does NOT border Ballymalone.

I have found an address on my grandad's RAF records if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction for the best place to search. It is 52a Corporation Place in Dublin. Any help would be appreciated. Natalie

RC Registers here:

Not going to be of much use, as the registers don't start until 10 years after OP's ancestor was born.

The Common Room / Re: How quickly could Hawkers travel in Victorian era?
« on: Tuesday 15 July 25 04:33 BST (UK)  »
While we may not be able to say precisely how fast a hawker would have travelled back then, we can give an absolute upper bound ~3x10^8 m/s. Could not have been faster than that.

Wexford / Re: Furlonge Cornmarket
« on: Sunday 13 July 25 08:12 BST (UK)  »
As previously stated by Shanreagh, "Furlonge" is presumably a misreading of Furlong or Furlong's.

Cornmarket was at one time the central market square in Wexford town.

So the reading would be that the marriage was in Furlong's [house] in Cornmarket [in Wexford town].

OP not clear - are you saying that both marriages were in June 1790, to the same man?
 If so then there is a potential straightforward answer - one was a Catholic ceremony, and the other Protestant.
Necessitated by the Penal Laws.
