Limerick / Patrick McCann / Catharine Mearnes
« on: Sunday 16 June 24 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've been trying to find out more about this branch of my family tree, hoping that I'm on the right track!

My 3x GG John McCann was born in Liverpool 1860 and parents from Ireland (no more info other than 'Ireland' on all census records I have for the family).
John's Catholic baptism: 11 Mar 1860 - St Patrick, Liverpool, Lancashire, England. Parents;   Patrici Mccann and Catharine Maouns

Patrick and Catherine's Catholic marriage record: 8 May 1859 - St Patrick, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Catharine Mearnes - Parents; John & Ellen Mearnes
Patrick McCann - Parents; John & Bridget McCann

1861 England Census for Patrick, his wife Catherine their son John, his brother and mother;
Civil parish: Bootle Cum Linacre
County/Island: Lancashire

Patrick Macan - 21
Catherine Macan - 24
John Macann - 1
Bridget Macann - 49
John Macann - 23

I was doing some searching on RootsIreland and found a Catholic baptism for a Patrick Mccann - 04 Feb 1841 - Feenagh & Kilmeedy, Co. Limerick
Father: John Mccann
Mother: Bridget Hannahan
Sponsors: Patk. Mcenery & Mary Sheehy

I then found the baptism for his brother John McCann - 24 Jun 1838 - Feenagh & Kilmeedy, Co.Limerick
Father: John Mccann
Mother: Bridget Hanrahan
Sponsors: John Lane & Ellen Lane

This is all I have been able to find so far, if anyone could offer any help it would be much appreciated or if you're also looking for these surnames! Thank you

Dublin / Elizabeth Kennewell
« on: Friday 06 October 23 12:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

Elizabeth Kennewell is my 4X GG she married my 4X GG William Tongue 20 Feb 1838 in St Michaels Church, Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire.
I have them in the 1841 census living in the hundred of Thurgaton in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire with two children - Samuel and William .
In the 1851 census they are living at 90 New Lane in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire with children Samuel, William and Ann. Elizabeth's birthplace is noted as Ireland and next to it reads 'Britt Sub' which some people on Ancestry have confused for a place and noted it as 'bitterly'.
In the 1861 census they are still in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire living with children Samuel, William, Ann, Thomas, Mary and Henry. Elizabeth's birthplace says Dublin, Ireland.

I've been trying to find Elizabeth's birth record to discover her line of my tree but nothing seems to come up, I've been using Ancestry, Findmypast and Roots Ireland as my main searches. I've ordered a copy of the marriage certificate and hope there is mention of her father there.

I was hoping to come across others who may be searching the Kennewell name in hopes it might help me with my research.

Thank you so much! Think that may be the right Brice, I've ended up starting a new tree for him to try and tie it in that way! I'm not sure how to figure out what relation he is to my Smiths wish there was more census' lol

Have been trying to look into the 'Brice Smith' witness present (along with Hannah Smith unsure who she is atm) at Thomas Smith and Elizabeth marriage in 1809 - a register of duties paid for apprentice indentures has come up 27 Sep 1792, Gloucester, Brice Smith cordwainer - surely not a coincidence? I'm wondering if he is Thomas or Elizabeth's father or Uncle, puzzled on the same surname between them too

Have just found a marriage for James Smith in 1839 to a Rosana Morgan father listed as Thomas Smith bootmaker, there's a William Smith present. There's also a William Smith present at the marriage of Henry Smith and Ann Owen in 1831 so wondering if this is potentially another brother, or an Uncle! Slowly but surely some pieces coming together maybe

Hi thanks so much for replying have found two marriages for Brice think one of his wife passed away - one is Eliza and the other Sophia Ann Williams, Thomas Smith (cordwainer) listed as father for both and found the non conformist baptism you mentioned. I searched for other surname Smith's in baptisms in Gloucester and there was another non conformist baptism parents Thomas and Elizabeth for a James Smith 1816 - looked into him further and some census have come up and he's listed as a bootmaker so think this is definitely another child of theirs

Trying to look further into Ann Owen think that is definitely her, on the 1851 census with family I think her birth place may be Worcestershire - second word hard to read possibly Strensham but not much luck with her

Gloucestershire / Henry Smith 1809 cordwainer/bootmaker Gloucester/Cheltenham

Hi there

I recently found my 4X GG Benjamin Arthur Smith was born in 1835 Cheltenham he ended up moving to Ireland as a music teacher/piano tuner. On his marriage certificate (to a Mary Kempson in Wexford, Ireland) his father is listed as Henry Smith. I found his baptism 13 Sep 1835 father Henry Smith - cordwainer, mother Ann Smith but can't find her maiden name. I also found him on two census' in Cheltenham with his parents Henry (1809) and Ann (1806) and siblings Thomas William Smith (1832) and Henry Jn Smith (1835). His father Henry Smith's occupation was a cordwainer/shoemaker on both of the census records and on the marriage certificates for his sons, also found two mentions in the paper of bankrupcy for him, listing addresses that match one of the  census. On the 1841 census there is an Elizabeth Smith age 60 living in the house, which I'm assuming is his mother and a Brice Smith age 20 which could possibly be a brother, although unsure? I believe I found Henry's parents to be Thomas Smith and an Elizabeth Smith as a marriage record I found for 1809 has a Brice Smith as a witness (not the younger Brice Smith mentioned), so thought this could probably the same family? But with the same surname I'm very confused, especially one like Smith! Sorry if this was long winded but was hoping to find anyone with links to this family in Gloucestershire area, or any advice on where to go next.
I would like to visit the county once lock down is over

Only just seen the replies today must have missed the email notification, very pleased I checked!

Could be nephew and being remembered as a brother perhaps! I've kept it in my notes as a thought. I've looked at nearly all birth records for Sarah Monaghan around the mentioned years and only the 18th Nov 1919 has a father of William. There is one record from 1922 which would match the year on her marriage certificate (23 in 1945) but oppose the 18 Nov 1919 on her death record, unsure if this could be a mistype up of '1922'. Unfortunately there's no certificate for the birth record so I can't see but it's for a 'Sarah Duffy Monaghan' in 1922 Ardoch. Which I believe is near Glasgow and my Grandma had mentioned a possibility of somewhere near there, but again it was a very long time ago and she wasn't certain.
