Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Cause of death - cannot make out the handwriting
« on: Saturday 27 November 21 15:39 GMT (UK)  »
Would the term fasciitis have been used in the 1880s? I just don't know what the medical terms of the day were, that's why I thought gastritis might be a possibility too.
Thanks for all the suggestions, it's not easy deciphering the handwriting when you're looking at archaic medical terminology!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cause of death - cannot make out the handwriting
« on: Saturday 27 November 21 14:33 GMT (UK)  »
I can't make out the cause of death in these two entries and was wondering if someone could help. The first is from a 19 year old Dublin girl in 1885 - "something - 8 months, certified" and the other is her father who died 4 years later in 1889 aged 56 - "fasciitis/gastritis??, 5 months, certified". Both of them were written by the same Registrar. Has anyone come across similar or recognise these medical terms?
Thanks

Dublin / Re: Rathfarnham district: what does this place name say? Big Bridge?

Thank you Pennines - the handwriting does say Big Bridge, and although the name is totally gone now the link to Pearse Bridge, Rathfarnham was absolutely correct! It's great to have a mystery solved so quickly, really appreciate your help.

Dublin / Rathfarnham district: what does this place name say? Big Bridge?
« on: Thursday 01 October 20 19:10 BST (UK)  »
Is anyone familiar with older place names in Rathfarnham? It looks like Big Bridge or Big Bridle to me, I can't find it on any maps and would love to know what it's called nowadays.
Thanks in advance!

And there was me thinking OH was some genealogical abbreviation! Wonderful!!
Peadar Kearney, the Behans & Gouldings all knew each other, shared the same trade (housepainting) and similar political aspirations. With Ellen Kearney, her father is recorded as a labourer and later as a carpenter. It's very tempting to try and make connections, beyond the documented ones, but I think we can definitively say Ellen and Peadar are not siblings and probably not first cousins either!
Thank you myluck! for your time and assistance.

Thank you for that myluck! I'm beginning to think that they aren't related at all or just distantly, and having the same surname is just a coincidence.
By the way, what does OH mean?

Re my earlier post, Terence Kearney was born in Co. Fermanagh - quite a distance from John Kearney's birthplace in Co. Louth!

Has anyone come across an Ellen Kearney, born 1893, (father Terence Kearney, mother Margaret Fitzh...), from Drumcondra? The surname is spelt differently, sometimes Kearney, Carney, M'Carney or McCarney in official documents. Ellen married James Goulding in 1924. The Gouldings and the Behans were housepainters who seemed to all know each other well.
The reason I'm asking is that family lore (or wild rumour!) had it that Ellen was Peadar Kearney's sister. I don't see any evidence of that at all, but was wondering if they were cousins or something. Could her father Terence be a brother of John Kearney?
