Cork / Re: St Michaels Church Blackrock Cork
« on: Saturday 18 January 25 07:30 GMT (UK)  »
and here is the question - when did the Ross family start worshipping in C of I churches and not Catholic ones?
Kay99 that church spire looks just like the photo and its C of I  - which leaves me a bit confused!
Sad thing is - there are no mentions of a Ross family in the graveyards.

Cork / St Michaels Church Blackrock Cork
« on: Saturday 18 January 25 02:09 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone recognise this photo - two sides of image - which I downloaded from Ancestry a long time ago. I think it is St Michael's RC Church in Blackrock, Cork. I have Ross family buried here, but I have not found any listing of burials, and no transcriptions of gravestones for Ross, or associated names in my family tree. I tried a google image search, to no avail. Cheers, Louise in Perth, Australia

thanks so much Forfarian - I have decided not to hold my breath! Apart from dusty old box in forgotton corner, I have been hoping that his family knew something about his background, and that some clue could be found from his children. So I am keeping up to date with his extended tree, in the hopes that someone wrote a memoir, or a newspaper mention comes up. Apart from him drinking himself to death after his wife died, there doesn't seem to be much on him. the possible Spanish or portugese link may be possible. Like all my other apparent dead ends, I am keeping an open mind. If I ever win the lottery (unlikely, since I don't buy tickets) I will get some WDYTYA hot shot researcher to find him!  cheers, Louise

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / The OLD St Mary's Sculcoates - illustration? and query burying grounds
« on: Friday 16 August 24 01:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone - I have family who lived in and around Sculcoates, and some were buried in what was named as All Saints Sculcoates cemetery in 1852, and then just Sculcoates in 1870. I found this: The medieval church was dedicated to St Mary and stood on the corner of what is now Bankside and Air Street.  It was rebuilt in c1759 on the same site but closed in 1870.
Can anyone tell me where the burying ground or grounds may be? I know there was massive overcrowding and eventually a large amount of graves were levelled, or displaced.

Also does anyone know of an illustration of the Old church, prior to 1870?

cheers, Louise

Yes, I checked both FindMyPast (which has baptisms of his children) and Scotlands People, and FamilySearch and the Genealogist. I tried variations of all of his names. I looked in the National Archives. I searched for him in the BNA in Shipping. I did a google search, and I have taken all of his children and wife as far as i can currently. His wife was a sister of my 3 x great grandfather, William Edwards, also a mariner.
Seems like this one has us all stumped!

I do understand that just because he has given the information does not make it true! but all of the information around him is very consistent.

His name in full is on his Mates' certificate, which he signed, and also gave a full birth date. His name in full is on his marriage registration, and variations of it (initials etc) for his children's baptisms. I have his death reg, which names him as a navigation teacher, same as on census records, which his wife and children. He is in the newspapers and directories as a navigation teacher, placing him in the correct area.

Just quite intriguing, and I would like to know what his background was - incidentally, all his children replicated various names etc in their own families. The Catholic faith slowly diminishes with time though.

My attachments were too big, but here is the mate's cert

Hope someone can help!

Inverness / Joseph Antonio D'almeido Morrison Montrose born abt 1790

Hi everyone - when I first started looking at this man in my tree, I thought he had simply made up his name. Now I am not so sure, but it is certainly hard to find a baptismal cert for him.

He was a mariner, Merchant seaman, with a mate's ticket, who married in London in 1816 to Elizabeth Edwards. he gave very consistent information that he was born in Inverness, and he was Catholic. He was not married in a Catholic church, but his children were baptised in Catholic churches. as he got older, he was a Navigation Teacher. he died in 1857 of heart disease and 'drinking ardent spirits to excess".

I looked through the Catholic Heritage site, and the only Mingarry had any records going back that far. Name seems a mix of scots and Portuguese.

Any ideas for placing this man?
best wishes,
Louise

Kent / Re: St Alfege Greenwich Font

thank you very much for your replies - and sadly, it appears the font now in situ would not have been the one my relatives were baptised from, but I will contact the church. cheers, Louise
