Do you know who Patrick stones mother was, his father was John,  was his mother Mary Anne ginnivun?

And did you know that the stones came to Ireland as a solider in cromwells army, and he married an Irish women she birthed 3 sons to him. And every stones and stone family in Ireland and came out of Ireland come from the soldier. Some stones took the s off the name through fall outs with their own family's. And some through census officials being lazy and not putting the s at the end.

The stones name is a land mark name,  it came out of Cornwall where the stones held a family seat. When names were given out people got their names from either their job or land marks or the region where they lived. The stones clan were given their name because they lived by some neolithic stones that were sticking out of the ground.

The stones thought against the vikings and that saying if you can't beat them join them it's not that it's breed with them. 10 stones men married 10 viking women in between 1072 to 1190 the viking women had their four father names attached to them. Because in them days as a man you needed to know who you were breeding with back 4 generations. Hence the saying our four fathers, the viking women 4 times great grandfather was harald hardrarder. I did my dna I am 70.1% Irish scotch Welsh 22.1%. English 5.9% Norwegian viking. Which when I found this out I really wanted to know where the viking came from. My ancient dna is more in the viking kingdoms and England.

In the picture from left to right it's John,  Mary,  Nora,  Patrick.  The picture is of nora''s holy communion in 1930. I saw this for the first time in my life in 2018, then I got my grandads murchant navy photo from the royal archive, I think.

Awesome,  thanks for that it clears up a lot of stuff like I said I thought Thomas stones moved to Bolton and died during ww1. My great grandad was to old to fight during ww1, but he was honored for his work effort in a rubber factory in Moston by the king. He also worked for the railways as a platelayer then when he was to old to do that he became a signal man. He had four children that lived and one that died as a baby, Patrick was a handsome man who dressed imaculately when not at work he was a hard man a fighting man. He died in 1937 leaving four young children, Nora, Patrick, John and Mary. Patrick and John were twins, Nora had 2 kids son and daughter, the daughter became a wren and married an admiral in the US navy. Her son became a top cop for GMP, Patrick had two kids son and daughter  not much is known about them at this time. John was my grandad he died age 35, he was the hardest of the hard men he was the uncrownd king of Ireland which was a fighting title held by the hardest of the Irish men. When he died thousands came to his funeral from all over the UK Ireland and USA because the uncrownd king had died. Then there was a big fight to see who would be the uncrownd king. In all honesty my dad's mother hid most of my grandads life from my dad and her grandchildren. Mary stones not much is known of her she had a daughter.

Yeah it was my email,  how are you related to the stones?, I new nothing of my stones family neither did my dad as his father died when my dad was 9 years old his dad was 34 years old I never even saw a picture of my grandad stones until last year when I tracked down my grandads twin brothers grandaughter. I'm 40 at 39 I started doing my family history it was like digging through  a 10 foot was with a wooden spoon I was getting no where until I  found out my great grandads name. Patrick stones but then there was too many men called Patrick stones in Ireland so I had to get his death certificate and birth certificate to get the right one it took a long time but it was worth the wait as for Patricks dad who married Mary hynes I don't really know much about him to be honest but I have more in common with him as I was a landscape gardener and he was something very similar. I'd love to know what you know of them the stones of Ireland

Yeah her name was Mary Bryne I don't know how she died but her mother was one of the witnesses to the wedding. And there is a funny story to the the maridge of patrick stones and mary hynes the priest would not let Mary hynes in the church because she had birthed a bastard child in Mary stones. And she was prodestent, where Patrick was catholic, they went up to athlone to wed where father Sheridan took them back to moate had words with the other priest and performed the wedding there himself.  (*) Moderator Comment: e-mail removed in accordance with RootsChat policy,
