Ireland / Re: James Seery
« on: Wednesday 02 December 20 14:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
Check out "The Home Life of Pádraig Pearse: as told by himself, his family and friends", 1934, Mercier Press, ISBN 0853425817 - edited by Mary Brigid Pearse.
The first few pages outline Pearse's genealogy back to his g-g-grandfather, Walter Brady... "...great-great-grandfather, Walter Brady of Nobber in the County Meath, a Cavanman by origin. He fought in '98, and one of his brothers was hanged by the Yeos; another lies buried in the Croppy's Grave at Tara..."
Walter Brady had a son, also named Walter Brady, who married Margaret O'Connor. They had a sons Philip (and on to Seery et al), and Padraig (and on to Pearse et al).
Cheers,

Many Thanks for all the replies - much appreciated!
I'm hoping that one of the descendants might just happen to be tracing their ancestry, discover this notice and make contact.
Relentlessly optimistic!

Kerry / Researching the McGrath family of Castleshannon, Ballyheigue, Co. Kerry.

Hoping to connect with descendants of the following McGrath family members:
Thomas is thought to have migrated via Canada to St.Louis and thence to California. All the others migrated via Cobh (Queenstown) to New York. Some may have travelled onward to St.Louis, where their sister Ellen emigrated to in 1907.

- Mary - born about 1884, emigrated to St.Louis, Missouri in 1908
- William - born about 1886, emigrated 1910
- James - born about 1888, emigrated 1911
- George - born about 1890, emigrated 1925
- Thomas - born about 1896, emigration date unknown
- Patrick - born about 1901, emigrated 1924

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1920 Prison Record ** Completed **
« on: Thursday 18 October 12 16:37 BST (UK) »
Hello Again Everyone!
Would appreciate some fresh eyes to help decipher the attached text taken from a 1920 prison record.
The bit I'm interested in is the bit crossed-out to the left of the number 143.
The column describes any 'distinguishing marks' on the prisoner on arrival.
I can make out what would read in full as:
I've no idea why this was crossed out - simplest explanation is that it just a recording error - I suppose
Any thoughts??
Many Thanks,
SuasAnAbhainn.

Ireland / *** COMPLETE *** Cork / Kilkenny prison records for 1920

Hello again,
Investigated this a bit further.
It seems the records from FamilySearch are made available via project collaboration with FindMyPast.
FindMyPast in fact do have the records I wanted - I just needed to use more specific search criteria to find them - and of course, will also have pay
Appreciate all the replies.
