Carlow / Re: Thane Castle in Carlow
« on: Monday 21 April 25 21:34 BST (UK)  »
Ingleby Miller and his wife Elizabeth had ten children and Ann was their youngest daughter, born in 1799. I had assumed that she never married (reminder to myself: with genealogy never assume.)
So she would have been around 40 when she married the mysterious Hon W B Harvey from a mysterious castle. I also have not been able to find the record of this marriage. Could it have been registered in Ireland?
Thanks for everyone's help so far.

I have attached the marriage notice in the Durham County Advertiser Friday 22 Feb 1839 which appears to read "Thane Castle, Carlow".

Hi
Does anyone know anything about Thane Castle in Carlow or the Hon. W.B.Harvey who seemed to have been living there in 1839?
Thanks, Charley

Thank you both for your replies. They have given me some avenues to explore.

Thanks Wexflyer

I understand and agree with everything you have written but, if the story has a basis in fact, the church was somehow involved in the land being re-leased to someone else.

Ireland / Would the Catholic Church have taken over the lease of a farm in the mid 1800s?

Hello.
Michael Neill had the lease of a farm in Ballymaghroe in County Wicklow. His brother Matthew probably did too.
Matthew aged 20 left the farm and was in India before returning home around 1861. 
Both Michael and his wife had died and three of Michael's children had emigrated to America, leaving an 11 year old.
A family story is that Matthew found that the Church had taken his land. He had a argument with the priest who subsequently fell down the stairs.
I wonder if the Church, in good faith and in absence of the lessees - Michael and Matthew- had taken over the leases, there was some misunderstanding, and the confrontation ensued?
Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Thank you for the replies.
I agree that there was some sort of college there and will keep on looking.

Hello

One of my ancestors, a mariner, is supposed to have studied in a nautical college in Glasgow. This would have been in the 1820s or 1830s.
Does anyone know if such a place existed?

Thanks, Charlie

Thanks for the info on Ambrose and the musings on the pronunciation of Queanbeyan.
