The Common Room / Brick wall - help please!!
« on: Friday 14 October 05 02:14 BST (UK)  »
Brickwalls well do we ever get over them?

I am looking for

(1) Information of a marriage between Frederick, Robert,  Billinghurst, Browning born 1875 and a Frances Charlotte ?  of Portslade Sussex, England.  It must have take place before 1913 as their first child was born 29-01-1913 and in the 1901 census he is listed as single.  I am looking for dates and France's surname.  I do know that Frances had a sister Alice.

(2)  John Joseph O'Shea went to the USA. He had brothers and sisters  Micheal. William. Patrick, Julia, Catherine, Agnes and Augustin there, who had all left Dungarvan Co.Waterford and settled in Yonkers.  His parents were Augustine and Ellen(Terry of Abbeyside) He was a seaman with William's of Dungarvan but I understand that he may have become a police officer.  He was killed - died of his wounds and is buried in Yonkers. Does any one know the cemeteries or where I can obtain the names of them?   
Any help greatly appreciated

Hello John and Christopher
I was intrigued to read about the gas lights and the Comans'. I to remember the gas lights being in my Granny's house not that they worked or indeed that I am that old but when "Electricity" came to town, my granddad put in the electric’s where the gas lamps used to be. That meant that when you went into the room, you had to run you hand along the wall to find the switch. Needles to say what the house was rewired, all was changed.  As for the Comans, there are still plenty in town and I will be meet one on Tuesday. Can you give me any more information?  Maybe I might find a relation or two for you.  I will also call into a friend who will know more about the gas lighting I think that somewhere – not promising I may have a photo of the Gas works but I can certainly tell you where it was situated in town.
