Thank u aghadowey - would never have thought of that if I had not have been doing this type of thing for the last 15 years! I have studied the name Loughrey and its variations for a many number of years.  The spelling does depend greatly on where a family originated as I am sure u know.  Looking at the spelling first mentioned and the location by minnie it was not remiss of me to indicate there may be some connection.

Do you have any later information on this Loughrey?  I cant find my file at the moment but I will keep looking for it.  Just moved house so things yet to unpack!  Loughrey/Loughery is not a common name so there could be some connection.  Cheers and Happy New Year!

Looking for information on John Bishop who was hanged in 1831 at the Old Bailey with Thomas Williams.  Looking for a date and place of his birth.  Any help appreciated.

Dublin / Re: grandmother of frank stapleton the footballer

Have you tried looking on the Dublin 1911 census?  Probably teaching a grandmother to suck eggs!

My mother always told me that Sarah (Sally) was related to Frank Stapleton.  I think that she said she was his aunt.  Unfortunately my mother has been gone 11 years now and my aunts who are still alive in Dublin are in their 70's and 80's and they spend most of their time talking to the little people now.  It is a shame I never started this journey when my mother was alive.  Regards Lorraine

Hi I am not sure if this is of any interest to you but I have a Kathleen Reilly as a witness to my aunts wedding in 1922.  My aunt Catherine Loughrey married John Nangle at St Lawrence O'Toole church.  On the other side of my family my uncle Thomas Moore married a Sarah (Sally) Stapleton.   Sally (as she was known) died 2 Octpber 2005 aged 78.  This is a Reilly/Stapleton connection.

Hi I am still here!  Have not had a chance to do any research for a long time and my computer was playing up for a long time, had to get a new one in the end!  Hi Tina, my connection to the Sewards is also through my husband.  His g grandfather was Tom Seward. born 1886 Musbury.

Dublin / Re: Loughrey

Hi, yes my Moore's were at Upper Iona Place according to my aunts birth certificate.  However I now think that this may be a mis-spelling of Upper Jane Place.  According to all the books I have on the slum areas and tenement life not once is Upper Iona Place ever mentioned.  My Loughrey's in 1911 were at Merchants Road  but before that or after I have no idea.  I have since found Newfoundland Street, it is no longer there, must have gone after 1923 as that was when my mother was born.  I am just about set to give up trying to trace anything else.  I am not in Eire and have had to rely on the kindness of strangers to get this far.  Family left in Eire are not interested.  Thanks.

Thanks so much.  Now,  any idea where Upper Iona Street was?  This is a puzzle I can not solve!  It must be near.  Any thoughts?  Cheers!
