A'62: thank you for looking into John's final resting place. The link is appreciated; it is a useful tool.

Dublin / Portrane graveyards
« on: Thursday 04 September 25 15:30 BST (UK) »
John Clinch died November 14, 1948 and is reported to be interred at Portrane, North County Dublin. He had erected a headstone honoring his deceased parents and brothers at Kildavin, Co. Wexford. He is likely born 1870's. Please inform me of graveyards that would serve the population of Portrane.

Jebber, I doubt Catherine would be J & E's servant, rather her surname connects to the J & E's marriage record: (witness). Redmond is very common surname, so i am grasping at straws. Since ages are not dependable, Catherine may be older than the posted 26. Just wondering how the manifest is created.

Grmbles, what do you know about Jane Young? Same name is found in Co. Wexford baptism registers as an adult convert. Perhaps there were a hundred Jane Youngs in that era. Perhaps you can learn something of your paternal lineage through Jane.

Wxflr and Zaphod, thank you for your comments. My German teacher in hight school, who was an old man in 1970, shared that as a young boy in Saxony, Germany, his culture put no emphasis on birthdays, only the child's Namesday. The culture of the time focused on other things such as patron saint rather one's own birthday.

thank you for the correction. sloppy typing on my part: 'an' should have been typed as 'and'. That aside, my question about boarding and entries into the ship's log remain. Is it reasonable to assume Catherine Redmond is travelling with John and Ellen? (caught another error on my part: catherine,not mary)

Can any conclusion be drawn from the ordering of names? Mary Redmond is listed after J,E, an infant. Would passengers have lined up and have had their names recorded while boarding? Standing in line together might suggest travelling together?

Absolutely, Wexflyer. The Diocese of Ferns cannot be blamed, the people of that area faced life-threatening forces, I face only a little inconvenience.

My next search will be Irish College at Paris where greatest percentage of Irish priests studied. As written earlier, if Furlong couldn't dig up more material on Fr. Murphy, I do not hold out great hope of finding material on Thomas Clinch. That the Diocese of Ferns did not maintain even minimal records is disappointing. Penal Laws, Rebellions, Famine, oppressive governance.... did not foster orderly records for family history hunters two centuries later. I get it.
