Hi

Wondering if anyone else may be researching the above names.
 
I have Mary BAKER born 1867 Sunderland married Thomas Edward Lillie THOMPSON born 1869 Sunderland.  Their one and only child was Nora Lilian THOMPSON born 1895 Sunderland.
Mary's parents were Albany and Mary nee Wilkinson, other children were Ellen Ann. Albany, George Eilley and Elizabeth Jane.
Thomas's parents were William & Sarah A, other children were Francis M & Nora.
 
Gathered a fair bit of information on both families and willing to share this with interested parties.

Happy Hunting everyone

Dear Sue,
It seems like Mary Ganly came out of no where when she married Patrick O'Flaherty. At EASTMAYO.ORG they are gradually putting all marraige and Birth notices on line for all to see. I found their sons wedding date that way and I contacted them and they are hoping to have more done shortly.
I am hoping to travel to Ireland next year and go to some churches and lots of graveyards!!!!!!!

Hi Tracey

Thanks for the reply.  If I ever come across your Mary & Patrick, I will certainly pass it on.

I hadn't heard of EASTMAYO.ORG, may well have to pay it a visit.  I always feel the internet is in desperate need of more Irish BMDs but have been told that the Irish are very protective and you have to contact relevant parishes to see the Parish Records.

Hope the trip comes off to Ireland, you lucky thing. 

Best wishes
Sue

Did Bartolomew have a sister Mary by any chance?
My Great grandmother was born around 1830 also and also married an O'Flaherty.

Hi Tracey
Sorry Tracey, I do not know if Bartholomew had any brothers or sisters.

Do your GANLEYs feature in Sunderland at all?

Regards
Sue

Hi Holly

Thanks again for the further information.  Unfortunately, my information stops at the 1901 census so unable to say if this may connect to me.  Having said that I wondered if I passed all the information to you would you mind running this past your friend Irene.

I have detailed below details of my G/randmother's brother & his family.

James Arthur Bunting(name was shown as Arthur J) born c1863, he married Louisa KING in 1886, St. Faith's District, Norfolk.  In 1901 they were living Norwich Road, Horstead & Stanninghall and he was a Woodman.

Their children were: Arthur 1883, Margaret Amelia 1887, William 1889 died 1889, William Charles 1891, George Herbert 1892 & Albert James 1894.

If your friend thinks we may connect I can pass on my personal email address as it would be nice to exchange information.  However,  I do understand if she is not interested as I realise not everyone shares this hobby.

Thanks again.

Sue

Hi Sue
Only just read your post.
Probably not much help at present, but for future ref. used to know a family called Bunting(an unusual name) in the Netherton area of Huddersfield, early 70s. As Dewsbury and Hudds. are not far apart, perhaps these could be descendants of your lot?
Good luck with your search.

Hi Carol
