Hello,
I just logged back in to this chat after about ten years of not having done so! Great to hear Duibhne that we are related through Annie Stynes nee Lawler. Come back to me if you're reading this message.
Kind Regards
John

Ian,
I have a family register which states the members of the Lawler family (John Lawler & Teresa Nowlan / Nolan) married May 18th 1843 in Kilmeague / Allen RC Parish. According to the register and verified with rootsireland.ie, they had 10 children - Mary, Peter, Eugene, Kathleen, Bridget, Michael, Elizabeth, Joseph, Annie and Josephine Teresa. Unfortunately Joseph, Bridget and Michael died young, all dying within the space of 2 months in 1862 from Diphtheria. Teresa nee Nolan, their mother died a few years later on April 30th 1865 aged 41 years. I don't have a death cert for her as yet but am working on it. She is buried in our local cemetery in the Lawler family plot.
Do get in contact so that I can pass on more information to you. Unfortunately I am unable to find photographs of these generations with the first photographs only appearing in the early 1910's / 1920's believe it or not. But I am still trying to find out more.
Regards,
John

Kildare / Re: Osbertstown Co Kildare.

If it's Osberstown House, Sallins, then the house is currently in the ownership of Mr Bill Cullen. You can check his profile on Wikipedia. He is something of a minor celebrity in Ireland, a successful businessman.

As for the Digby's, there is a canal bridge named "Digby Bridge" over the Grand Canal at Ballysize / Fleshtown, County Kildare. As far as I know Digby's were landlords in the Caragh / Clane area in the nineteeth and early twentieth centuries, maybe even before. Look up the Griffith Valuation (askaboutireland.ie) to find out what lands they held at the time.

Ian,
I was looking up on a Google search "Lawler Kilmeague" and found your posting on this website. I have done a small bit of research into my family and what you have found about the Nolan's of Kilmeague is very interesting. It turns out that the eldest girl of the Nolan's (or Nowlan), Teresa Nowlan, married my Great Great Grand father, John Lawler! I recently found their marriage certificate on Rootsireland.ie website. The marraige was dated 18-May-1843. The cert showed that they were married in Kilmeague, hence the google search. If you know anybody who is interested in the Lawler family from that point on I can certainly fill in the blanks. If you know anybody with information on the Lawlers before that date even better.
Or if you have any further information on the Nolan's in the southern or northern hemisphere then please send on a message!
Thanks
John Lawler
