Wicklow / Re: Timmons & Mernagh marriage.
« on: Monday 05 August 13 06:51 BST (UK) »
Hello O1lizzie,
My family had to move from the Switzerland of the US (Colorado) to ech! Texas. I have been really busy. Do you have any information on the John Timmons I mentioned who lived in Dublin until arount the mid 1840's. All of my information stops with him. My great, great, grandfather Edward would not even talk about his Irish roots except to say that we were descended from "Irish horse thieves". I believe I heard that he was Catholic and if that is true, I have a suspiscion what the implication was although I believe that Rose Ann Holmes who immigrated here at the same time was Protestant. The only thing I do know about the old man was that he was one heck of a dancer as witnessed by my father. That would have made Edward a very old man when he died.
Thank you for responding.
