Tipperary / Re: CARROLL, Maurice b abt 1838, Tipperary
« on: Saturday 07 December 13 21:50 GMT (UK)  »
Sorry to have taken so long to reply to your post - I had been taking a break from family tree for a while.

Yes your husband's gg grandfather Maurice Carroll is my great grandfather as I am a grandaughter of Teresa Carroll second youngest daughter to Maurice and Ann. They married at St Nicholas, Dublin on 9 Feb 1859. Witnesses Michael Gallagher and Mary Gallagher. She died of phthisis (tuberculosis) 17 Mar 1868 in Balheary, Swords.

James, the youngest of their four children, was brought up (adopted?) by Maurice and Ann. The three older children were David, b 26 Dec 1857 (before marriage?) baptised St James, Dublin. (Sponsors George Brodrick and Ellen Hart), Catherine b 1862 bap Donobate RC Chruch, died 1 Nov 1864, and Thomas b 1863 bap Donobate Church. Not sure what happened to David and Thomas.

Do you have any info on Maurice's parents or his birth?
I do have a little about Maurice's first marriage to Mary Ann Frazer

Hi  I believe your Maurice Carroll is the same person who is my husband's gt gt grandfather.  I believe he was married prior to his marriage to Ann Radcliffe to a Mary Anne Fraser.  They had a son James Carroll b. 4.11.1865 in Swords, Dublin - this my husbands Gt Granddad.  Who are you descended from?
James DoB record shows his mother as Mary Anne Fraser but I can't find any record as yet of a marriage between Maurice & Mary Anne.  I have found a couple of deaths of Mary Carroll in 1866 in Swords either of which may be James mother. 
Have you found any further info about either Maurice Carroll or Anne Radcliffe?

I found familysearch.org has a lot of data and names so it may be worth using that. Trouble with using tree data is it can be very very wrong, not helped be a similar range of names being used locally.
I have got a lot of info from family search but have been more cautious about using tree info as the accuracy is a bit variable, as you say. So I just use it to give me clues about where else to search, and who else to search for

Thanks for the tip - I must admit I have found it difficult to unscramble the Boon relationships, especially before the 1841 census, as the same families inter-marry in consecutive generations and usually use the same names for their children, not to mention remarriages and eldest children who have started reproducing before their parents have finished!
The Sherington site with the St Laud registers is going to be a great help - thanks for pointing me in that direction

Do you know for certain where the marriage in 1784 took place, and do you have confirmed records of baptism for the children of that marriage? According to a member tree on Ancestry you should be looking at Sherington, a parish slightly north of Newport Pagnell. The tree doesn't mention George's parents unfortunately.

You will need to get access to copies of the parish registers for Sherington (and maybe Newport Pagnell) , and if you can't find them there, work through the surrounding parishes.

The registers are held at the Buckinghamshire Archives in Aylesbury, but you may be able to order them on film via the LDS.

This site may also be useful - http://www.mkheritage.co.uk/shhs/  (has copies of the parish regsiters for Sherington and loads of other useful documents .... including a story of the murder of a James Boon in 1872).

You also need to consider that Newport Pagnell/Sherington are very close to the county boundary with Bedfordshire, and Northamptonshire - so if necessary, your search may need to extend to their records.
Thanks a lot for your info. I confess I had been using Newport Pagnell and Sherington interchangeably, as I have assumed my ancestors must have been living right near the boundary between the two parishes as they seem to oscillate between the two.
I've looked again at the 1784 marriage - it is in Sherington, not NP, likewise the baptisms. I think I need to go back and distinguish more carefully what happened in which parish (as there are also Lathbury baptisms in the same family too.
Thanks also for the link to the Sherington resgisters and other docs. The James Boon who was murdered was the son of George Senior and his second wife Susannah - the perpertator David Sharp was transported.
Thanks again for your help

Europe / Re: VORNIER, Rosalie Sophie - Immigation to England from France c 1849
« on: Wednesday 13 March 13 04:13 GMT (UK)  »
My curiosity is also piqued - I'm looking forward to finding out more, especially as this strand of my ancestral family lived in a such a historic part of Europe, in terms of the events of the 19th and 20th centuries! My mother didn't know why her father's middle name was "Desire" (a name for which I'm sure he often got teased as a young Kiwi lad) but to find this extraordinarily rich thread being the origin of the name is so rewarding. Thanks again for all your help - I'm gaining confidence on www.archives.departmentales, surprised that the school-girl French stored away in my memory banks is still able to be retrieved and is in fact useful! Will see what other children I can find, as there are long gaps between children in some marriages.

I had thought that perhaps my gggrandmother Rosalie had severed all ties with her famiy when she went to London but have found her niece, Eliza Vanheuverswyn (although name is misspelt in census record), working as a photo mounter for Rosalie's photographer husband William, after Rosalie had died.
Thanks a million for your help - faafetai tele lava

Thanks so much for the answers to all my questions and especially for this link, which is absolutely amazing. I feel like you've saved me about a year's work in one post!
Rosalie's address at marriage is same as William's address (Star St) but I think they had been living together for a while as for the 1851 census, when William was still a shoemaker, they were living at Sherbourne Place in Marylebone. He is aged 20, she 25 in that census. No occupation stated for Rosalie at marriage - William still a cordwainer. I think there's a romantic story there!
I am extremely grateful for your assistance.
Kind regards

Sorry if these are silly questions but this is my first venture into French bdm records.

Can someone please tell me
1 what is the significance, if any, of my gg grandmother's Rosalie's parents, siblings and all her grandparents (bar Vincent) having Joseph as their middle name - is it a naming tradition of some sort, or to do with saint's names?
2 in the death registration for Louis, the word "Fortune" appears (e acute - sorry don't know how to insert accent on my keyboard), which I understand to mean well-off or wealthy. Is that like "esquire" in English at the time, to indicate that he was a gentleman or does it mean something else?
3 Annoeuillin in early 1800s, when Louis was the health officer/obstetrician, was a small township of around 3000. Is he likely to have practised in Annoeuillin or in Lille?
Any answers/comments appreciated

Merci beaucoup for this information. This looks extremely promising and I could never have found this without your help! I'm pretty sure these are my ancestors even though this Rosalie's a little older than I had calculated. But perhaps because she was on the stage she wanted to seem younger. I don't know how to thank you enough, as I have been searching for her for ages.
