Hi John,

You are welcome to post any commercial posts in our for sale section, here is a link.

Scouse boy I often read posts that I can not answer, so I don't - I wouldn't want to take someone down a line of thought if I was not confident that I help with their research. Sometimes better just to wait and learn from the replies ;)

Sarah:

Thanks for the link. I will post something about my ebook there. I appreciate the feedback about my picture.

Carol:

I am sorry. It is just a link to an ebook novel based on my family's Irish history. I will not post the link in future.

I agree with Gadget 1905 up to WW1 for me.

Thanks for the quick reply! That time frame would work if it was the son or daughter of my great-great-grandparents. Do you have any guess as to the ages of the people? They look no older than 30 to me. And does it look like a wedding picture?

This photo is supposed to be of my great-great grandparents from County Cork. That's what I was told, but I have a relative in Ireland who said she doesn't think it could be them, because it would be somewhere between 1855 and 1865 when it was taken. She said it wasn't likely that people from their rural area would have gone to a studio and had a portrait taken in that time period. My relative says it's probably a wedding picture of one of their children, taken twenty years later, around 1880. Can anyone help me date it? And does this look like a wedding picture from that time? Thanks.

John

I may be able to help with Burchill & O'Driscoll information.
I'd be interested in whatever information you have. Thank you.

Mayo / McDonnell
« on: Wednesday 29 May 13 19:00 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I'm looking for information about McDonnells from County Mayo. Others in my family have done some research and found a birth record dating to 1830 for a John McDonnell in Foxford, County Mayo. His wife was Margret Mulroy, born in 1835 in County Mayo. Their children were Patrick, Bridget, Eneas, Agnes, Mary, Helen, and Margret. I would like to find out more information about where the family came from in Ireland, because I'll be visiting there this summer. Don't know where to start, so I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

WHL you said Hanorah was the sister of your great grandfather. What was his name? Also, I have always been curious because when my great grandmother Kate Burchill came to the U.S. the family lore is that she lived for a time near Pittsburgh with a relative. I found an Eliza, or Lizzy, Leary who was living there as a servant at that time, and she could be a cousin to Kate Burchill on her mother Hanorah's side.

WHL what I have are records I found through Ancestry.com, and some of that is from other people's family trees. I have her birth in 1834 in County Cork. Parents were Denis and Ellen Leary. Siblings were Denis, John, Margaret, Daniel and Frederick. They show up in the 1851 Wales Census in Swansea. I have her marriage in 1856 in Glamorgan, Wales. I don't know how she then ended up back in Cork, but her children were born there. I have her death in 1911 in Cork.

WHL you asked where Honorah Leary's family came from. I will look at my research, but I found Census records that they were living in Swansea, Wales in 1851. Her parents were Denis and Ellen Leary. She was born in County Cork in 1834. Don't know where they originated in Ireland, or how she ended up marrying Abraham Burchill and settling in Skibbereen.
