Kerry / Re: Rowan family from Listowel
« on: Thursday 25 December 14 23:13 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather was also Timothy Rowan from Balahadigue. I have the 1911 census (which lists Patrick Rowan aged 43, his wife Mary and 8 children). Timothy had already left home for Bristol by then, he's in the 1911 census for Bristol as an Attendant at Bristol Lunatic Asylum. I also have the 1901 census, that only lists Patrick Rowan aged 60, presumably Timothy's grandfather.
I also have photos (not currently scanned, but I can do them) taken in the 1970s I think, of the field at Balahadigue, and also of Jack Rowan (Timothy's brother) in Listowel.

Lanarkshire / Re: Photos of Old Dalbeth Cemetery

Hi Gerry, thank you. No, I just have the reference from his death registration. Next time I'm in Glasgow I'll go to the Mitchell, I note all the earlier comments about the difficulties with the microfiche. I'm not massively bothered about finding the exact piece of grass, it's probably good enough for me to have seen the burial ground and the setting. I'm more interested to try and find out further why he was buried there, in what was a very small cemetery at the time, when he died in Port Dundas, although I haven't yet located his usual home address. They were all navvies / boatmen so maybe he just died at work, although it was lung disease rather than an accident. Thanks for all the work you've done on this!
