Hi Anne

He did his test on Ancestry but I've not uploaded to heritage or gedmatch - I'll have a look at doing that and that might help throw up some extra info.

I'll keep you posted!

Hi Anne

Thank you so much for the info - i have noticed the name Hanna on documents and I have also noticed the name matilda as well!

My dads family all still live in that area so I assumed it would be an easier part of the tree to figure out as those particular names all seem to have died out compared to others.

I have done a DNA test and a connection there claims to have a connection to a Margaret Hamilton married to John Lindsay Earl of Crawford and they had a son James Lindsay born around 1636?? Not sure if that ties with anything you may have?

Thank you that’s a great help. I assume the bride would have converted to the husbands religion prior to wedding which might explain why the females could be a variation of pres. and CoI?

Looking for any information on a Thomas Taylor  . . . . . .

He had a daughter Margaret Jane - she married Ben Sargent 14 March 1850. She Died 6 March 1913 so far I've not been able to trace her parents or siblings - picked her father's name (Thomas up via marriage cert)

Would it be a fair assumption to say that most "sponsors" in 1800's to early 1900 would have been related to family = possibly brothers or sisters of the parents?

Entry for my Thomas Jnr birth
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1914/01392/1572433.pdf

Would have made him 30 and not 24 in 1916 as per RD Fusiliers - so maybe not him after all?

This is the “other” Thomas

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Kilgarvan/Rathreedaun/1572912/

John and Bridget being parents but also has a brother Pat /  Patrick

So I’m not sure which one the RD Fusilier record belongs to . . . .

So Thomas Loftus Snr married Mary Egan in1870 in sligo.

They had 10 children 8 living - one of which was Thomas Loftus who married Philomena Robbins 29 Aug 1923 inTullamore or kilkenny. It is this Thomas who died in 1958 who is listed as being army pensioner . . . . .

I did find an army record for RD Fusilers May 1916 reg no. 26983 but not sure if it is him - he did have a brother Patrick but as I say there was another Thomas Loftus . . . . So I don’t want to mix them up.
The other Thomas Loftus is mentioned in the below site

But this is my Thomas Loftus in 1901 and 1911 census

Hope this helps clarify  :)
