Technical Help / How to get the correct name in a diagram
« on: Yesterday at 13:13 »
Hello There

I am using family historian to build my trees. Never had this problem before.

In the person named, my computer went wild, and in the name space , I now have many, many brackets . My fault, I have probably touched the keypad and yippee, there they are. I just cannot budge them. I have 8 rows of them.
 I have tried to replace the diagram box, by cancelling/deleting it and replacing it, but I am not  having any joy at all…..Help

Galway / Re: Edward Kilroy 1815
« on: Friday 20 June 25 05:18 BST (UK)  »
Thank you ALL for your responses

It seems I had the correct Edward Kilroy (from familsearch.org)
 I found his son’s baptism, William in 1845 and James in 1854.

I have traced the family back, from my friends father ,born Bangalore in 1940.
I am quite positive about that. I just wanted to clarify that Edward was the head of this Army dynasty!
 From Edward down, all Barry’s direct male ancestors, were born and served in India……. But he thought they had originated in Mayo, and he is going there in July!

He knows nothing at all about his family’s history. He is going to get a real surprise when I give him the tree I have done . Super

Thank you all again

Galway / Edward Kilroy 1815
« on: Thursday 19 June 25 21:54 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Can anyone help me please.

I am looking for Edward Kilroy, born 1815, and baptised at St Nicholas  Galway
 
I know he served in the Army in India, until he died in 1871.
He married Margaret ? But have not been able to find a marriage for them. Perhaps they married at home, before he went to India.

Any information greatly appreciated

Ireland / Re: Kilroy surname

Thank you Sinann

That looks a super site. I have had a brief look, and there does appear to be a lot of Kilroy in Mayo, so it may not be a wasted journey for Barry.

It may also help me with part of my Irish side…… McAuliffe. Who for what reason they used the name Gould on the British census’s.!

Ireland / Kilroy surname
« on: Thursday 19 June 25 12:05 BST (UK)  »
Could anyone tell me, where the name Kilroy is most popular please?
I am doing some research, for a friend of the same name.
He is going to Ireland next month to meet other people, but he has absolutely no idea, where is family origin is.
 
Most of his forebears, were born , and married in India, where they. We’re serving
In the army, in various Regiments.

I have got back to Edward Kilroy c1815 . He was the father of James Kilroy, who was born 19/06/1854 in Bangalore.


As I said, he is going to county Mayo…….But is this the correct County ?


Many thanks

Armed Forces / 21st Hussars
« on: Thursday 22 May 25 22:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone
Can anyone help please.

I am researching a gentleman who served as a Private in the 21st Hussars.
He married in 1887 in Bangalore, India.
On the 1891 census he is stationed at Canterbury, with his India born wife, a 2 year old son, also born in Bangalore.
I would like to know when The 21st Hussars were in India, and when they came back to England. My man was Irish, born c1853 at Bray, Dublin. I know from his marriage, that his father was John. Where would a Irish man “ sign up”
Many thanks

Ireland / Re: William Rodney c 1788
« on: Wednesday 07 May 25 23:51 BST (UK)  »
So sorry.

I know this is a long shot. It is really hard researching in Ireland.
I have been very lucky with my other Irish great grandparents. They actually put it down on the 1911 census……

Many thanks for your advice

Can anyone help me with this gentleman?
On the 1841 & 1851 British censure, he says he was born in Ireland. He married in 1816
In Westmorland. He was a Ag/lab. I have the family from then on. The family were told he was a relative of Admiral Rodney…. Have discounted this !!
Alas, this all the info I have found . I have tried rootsireland, to no avail.
