Hi Wendy, Is it possible to send me the image of the parish record that shows "Francis Ellwood" crossed out and "blacksmith" crossed out?  I would like confirmation for my records. It is quite a change of direction in my research.

I have done some preliminary searching and see what you mean regarding the difficulty of finding Matthew and Jane Elwood.  I will certainly keep you posted if I discover anything of interest.

Thanks for your help, Kathleen

The prior post asked if anyone could confirm the identity of the Christopher Counihan in Manhattan with his sisters.  My post identified him and his parents, not the Christopher Counihan of Clare St.

>>In the 1920 Census of New York/Manhatten, a Christopher Counihan (from Ireland) can be seen living with his sisters Nora and Sarah.  By the 1930 Census, Christopher has re-married and has a daughter Emily.
Can anyone confirm whether this is the same Christopher Counihan (son of Richard), who gave his address as Clare Street at the time of his marriage in Limerick?<<

This Christopher is Christopher Eugene Counihan, son of Cornelius and Sarah Alice McCARTHY COUNIHAN b. Jan 13, 1883 Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland; address is BOOHERSLIA [sic];  sponsors Simon CONNOR and Catherine FITZGERALD; one of 13-16 children of Cornelius and Sarah.In Griffith's (1852) his address is Connor's Lane, Tralee. I am descended from his aunt, sister to Cornelius, Mary J. Counihan who married James KILEY and emigrated first to Connecticut and then to NYC.  I have not come across a Richard Counihan in my research.

I am holding a copy of the original in my hand.  Would you like me to scan it and send it privately? Or I can transcribe it.

Wendy - thank you so much for clarifying all of that - I would never have been able to figure that out from the records I have.  Now I have a whole new avenue to explore. Will keep you posted if I find anything of interest. 
Best regards, Kathleen

Wendy - I found your posts on other sites as well. Thank you for giving me some direction.  The civil registration I purchased for the marriage of Solomon Walder and Ann Mitchell Jupp has Ann's Father's name  blank.  I believe your info from the actual parish register shows her father as Edward Francis Mitchell, blacksmith, with a line crossed through.  Is that correct?  Thank you, Kathleen

I am intrigued by your research.  I am a descendant of Ann Mitchell Jupp and did not know her parentage. My great-grandmother was Kate Charlotte Walder, daughter of Solomon Walder and Ann Mitchell Jupp/Ann Mitchell/Ann Elwood.  I would be happy to share what I have, but I have no help for you on the Elwood line. But I can tell you that when Kate filled out her Social Security application in the US, she stated her father was Solomon Walder and her mother was Ann Mitchell.  No mention of Jupp.
