Hi this is the antiquesman here in Southport, England

www.theantiquesman.com

It seems the worlds junk ends up in my shop.

This may interest a Maher.

I have just come accross in unusual circumstances some documents.

First is a demob parchment for Peter (Pete) Thomas Maher dated 1875 after serving 10 years in the 49th Reg

Peter was born 1840 in the parish of Parish of Mallinans in the county of Tipperary
2nd document
it would seem that the family emigrated to Boston or New York USA on the White Star Line "Republic" from Queenstown 3rd Sept 1879

I have the booking letter from the White Star line

I also have prayer books (Roman Catholic) owned by a  family member who did not emergrate dated 1875 and 1895. Possibly owned by the grandchild of Peter

If you have some interest my mobile  phone number in England
07714 32 22 52
