Armagh / Re: Marley/Foy and O'Neill/Dynes Portadown

I don't know if this is any help at all but, a Mary Marley and Edward Haffey, both of Ballyoran, married in Drumcree R.C. Church, 18th November, 1895.  According to their marriage certificate, Mary, a weaver, was the daughter of Patrick Marley, a butcher, and one of the witnesses was a Patrick Marley as well as a Mary Farrell.
Best,M

Tyrone / Bloomers, Sessiagh

I'm wondering if anyone has information on a Robert Bloomer, Sessigh.  He was father to Elizabeth Bloomer, and had died by the time she married Daniel Murphy in Moy, 1879.

I wonder who he married?  Elizabeth was born about 1848, so he would have married sometime before that date.

Thank you.  Any help would be very appreciated.

Armagh / Murphy Murder
« on: Tuesday 04 August 09 16:24 BST (UK)  »
Dear listers,
I wonder if anyone has any information about a Bernard Murphy, Ballytrodden, Co. Armagh in the parish of Clonfeacle, believed to have been murdered by a man named Garvey about 1877 or thereabouts.
Good searching everyone.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: No record of death found
« on: Friday 14 November 08 18:59 GMT (UK)  »
Yes what you say makes sense.  Thank you all very much for replying and for your thoughts.  It gives us a new direction to turn and to follow up.

I'm reluctant to name the man.  He was born in Devon, 1872, and became a carpenter.  In 1891 he lived with his first family in Lambeth. Still in Lambeth, 1901, he married and in 1902 a son was born to this union. After this he slips from our records.

Thanks for all this.

Good searching to you all.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / No record of death found
« on: Friday 14 November 08 09:56 GMT (UK)  »
We have come against a wall looking for a man who is believed to have died between 1901 and 1907 as these are the dates of his marriage and his widow's remarriage. His death does not appear to be registered in England as we have searched the registers at what was Catherine House.  It has been suggested that he may have been a seaman and died at sea. How and where could we follow up on this possibility? Or are there any other avenues we might explore? His late widow was known in living memory, but did not ever speak of her first husband to those who remember her. We are grateful for any suggestions.

Tyrone / Re: Bloomer

Yes. My family line is Bloomer.  Elizabeth, my Greatgrandmother, Sessiagh, married Daniel Murphy in 1879.

I know little of Elizabeth's family except that she was the daughter of Robert Bloomer from the same place.  I don't know if she had siblings, her mother's maiden name, if Robert had siblings and so on, But I do know there was a Carr/Kerr connection to the Bloomers. 

I'm not sure if Mary Ann Bloomer and Elizabeth were related as Mary Ann was an earlier generation.

I believe there were Carrs/Kerrs in the Benburb, Co. Tyrone area in the 20th  Century.

Thanks for your information, and good serching.

One Name Studies: A to G / Re: Blair
« on: Tuesday 04 November 08 00:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
One of my husband's lines is Blair.  They migrated to Austin Texas eventually. Wonder if this is familiar to you.  Some research has been done within the family, and if memory serves, they are believed to have come to the U.S. from Scotland.  I'm not sure of the dates, but if this sounds familiar I can find out.
Good searching.
