Kildare / Wall family - Athy Kildare
« on: Sunday 07 July 13 01:22 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm trying to find some Athy parish records. I have Nicholas and Thomas Wall from Athy in Co Kildare - love to have some baptismal or other records. Nicholas was born around 1858, and Thomas was born around 1857. I have Thomas as Athy born, but Nicholas just shows as Kildare.
Regards,
Jeff

Dublin / Wall - Dublin
« on: Wednesday 30 November 11 01:49 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any details regarding Nicholas John Wall (born Dublin 10 June 1889 died Dublin 24 December 1956). Nicholas married a Catherine Brophy (died 1934) and had 5 children. Believe that Nicholas's father may have been called Thomas and been from Athy, Kildare.
Nicholas had a sister Kitty who became a nun and moved to Adelaide, Australia where she was known as Sister Mary Allacue. Nicholas also had two younger brothers; Patrick and Joseph - both went to America.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: James Knox born 1864/5

Thanks Sharon, That 1940 one looks perfect - the newspaper article about James and Eliza was on the occasion of their Golden Wedding in 1933 so that eliminates the earlier one.
Thanks for providing the Rochford detail. I'll see if I can find a death certificate.

There are a couple of possible deaths for James.
James Knox 1924 (vol 4a 509) Rochford Essex aged 60
James Knox 1940 (vol 4a 1622) aged 75
Canvey Island was included in Rochford registration area.

No - sorry to confuse you. James Knox, "postman Knox", had a son called George William Knox, who had a daughter in 1919 - my grandmother. I merely said that she was interested in finding her Knox ancestry before she shuffles off this mortal coil.
I know all of my grandmother's tree except James Knox's parentage. I know his father was called James Knox too and that he was dead by 1883, but that's all.

It's great that you're both trying - my grandmother is a Knox and 93 and still going strong and she'd love to find out where the Knox's came from.
So all I know is that his father was also called James Knox. I tried looking for death records but came up blank on both James and his father James.
If any descendants of James would like to contact me, the newspaper article about James and Eliza is a classic.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / James Knox born 1864/5

My g-g-grandfather James Knox was a postman who later became Overseer of the LPSGPO. Thanks to a newspaper article written on the occasion of his retirement from the Post Office, I know everything about him, except for his parentage and death!
James was born 1864/1865 and lists his birthplace as Mile End. I traced him to January-March Quarter 1865, but tragically, there are two of them! and the only information I can find relates to the wrong one! I have his appointment book for when he became a postman in 1881, but I have no census information for him until 1891 (Bethnal Green) when he is married to Eliza Cofield (married in Sain Thomas Harbour Square in Stepney 1883) producing lots of children (9). He was in Walthamstow in 1901 and 1911 (50 Hatherley Road). James later retired to Canvey Island.
Any assistance would be wonderful.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: George Frederick Taylor & Christian Frederick Taylor Cousins??
« on: Sunday 20 November 11 08:20 GMT (UK) »
Sorry David, I have no idea how to attach the photo of my great great-grandfather, Christian John Taylor (born 1853), a butler. Christian was the son of Christian Frederick Taylor (1809-1900), son of Christian Frederick Taylor (1788-1844) and was half-brother to the unfortunate Henry (1842-1917), in that they shared the same mother, Louisa Willard. Christian John married an Eliza Monk (1849-1933) who also features in this photo with their two eldest sons Reginald and George (my great grandfather).
