Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Shaw Family of Swinton/Wath on Dearne Areas
« on: Wednesday 03 August 05 13:56 BST (UK)  »
yes my gt. gt. Grandfather George Shaw born 1803 in Bradfield (nr Sheffield) lived with that family in Wath on Dearne/Swinton around the 1830s, he met and married Arabella Butler through the Shaws of Wath/Swinton and returned to the Bradfield/Sheffield area in 1851.

The family in Swinton/Wath were mostly weavers but some also potters at the Rockingham Pottery there, I know that Hannah is shown as being born in Stoke, I have some other info on the family, they all originate from the Bradfield (nr Sheffield area and Penistone from the eartly 1600s and are still there as a family

Sligo / crofton family sligo
« on: Wednesday 03 August 05 13:42 BST (UK)  »
my maternal grandmother was Mary Ann Crofton who married Bartholemew Morrisroe around 1861 in Sligo near to Templevanney/Brougher.  I have found the Morrisroes and made contact with visits, they are still in Brougher on the original land but now known as Lynch.

The Crofton name appears in Sheffield along with the Morrisroe names in the 1881 Sheffield census (I know that Bartly Morrisroe and his sons and daughter (my grandmother Eliza Morrisroe) were in Sheffield, Bartly returning to Brougher in about 1891, he appears with his wife Mary Ann (Crofton) in the 1901 census.  Is the family of Crofton still in the area around Templevanney/Brougher area, I would like to investigate this part of my family history

Sligo / Re: GANLEY
« on: Tuesday 07 June 05 12:45 BST (UK)  »
whilst researching ancestors in Sligo I came across the name of Matt Ganley, legendary faction fighter and guard to mail coaches from Boyle to Sligo Town, this is all around 1840/50s.

Boyle is the town in which Ganley is mentioned.
