Tony, sorry for delay in replying.
I don't have any mention of an Andrew Mullins in any of my Mullins info, so perhaps yours are not related to mine after all.
But keep me posted if anything else crops up!
Regards,
Mags

Hi Annie,
I have in my family tree, the name of Dwyer in the parish of Ballyporeen, co.Tipperary - they are connected to my Bailey line via a marriage between Kate Fitzgerald , whose first cousin was Hannie Dwyer who married  a Cunningham.
All in the townlands of Skeheenarinka/Coolagarranroe - so if any bells ring with you, please get in touch!
Many thanks,
Mags

Hi there,
You could also try looking at the Valuation Office website:

http://www.valoff.ie/search/search.asp

Enter 'Knockanduff' (note the spelling!) in the townland, 'Waterford' as the county - (you can ignore all the other boxes for now) and you will get a list of all the rateable properties within that townland. Then you can click 'more details' on the one you want, I see there is someone by name of Dunne in the list, this could well be a relation of your grandfather.
Worth a shot anyway!

Good luck

Limerick / Re: where was Ballyshoneboy?

Hi there,
You could try looking on the interactive map at the Ordnance Survey of Ireland site,
www.osi.ie
you can pan around, zoom in etc. I haven't looked at the Kilmallock area in great detail, but I did spot Ballymacshaneboy, so could be worth a look in any case , just to familiarise yourself with the area.
Another idea might be to contact someone at Kilmallockonline, and find out if the local post office might know of the name you're searching for.
I imagine Ballyshaneboy might be the name of a farm or small hamlet, a place name rather than a townland.
Good luck!
Mags

P.S,Also have a look at the place names of Ireland site, it's great:

Hi again Amber,
Many thanks for this; I didn't know before, that there had been another change of address, so yes, that is interesting.
I've sent off for the marriage certificate, so here's hoping it will arrive before too many weeks go past! (Am looking forward to the new series of 'WHo do you think you are' later this evening...)
Thank you again for your help, much appreciated.

Mags
PS Will post here again if it turns out that Harold did in fact convert to catholicism, I'm still waiting to hear from my cousin in Ireland.

Dear Rog, JDS and Shropshire Lass,
Many thanks for all your suggestions. There were no children born of this marriage; I will ask a cousin in Ireland who is also related to Ellen Bailey, whether her family had ever heard of a conversion to Catholicism - certainly they went back to rural Ireland to live in their later years. And good idea to check with the bride's original parish in any case, so thanks for that too.

Amber - thank you so much! I am absolutely thrilled with this, you are a real gem.
With the ref you quote, does that mean I can order the cert from the GRO now? (Sorry, I'm  not up to speed with the English side of family history yet, all my research has been in Ireland so far (my parents are Irish, but I was born in Oxford when they'd emigrated here in 1960).
Interesting that there was also a marriage in 1940 - I have an address for H.L.Bromet from the 1935 phone book (from previous help by the most excellent rootschatters!), which is Ember Farm Way, East Molesley; also there in 1939; in 1953, he's at Garrick Villas, Hampton Court Rd, Hampton.And the same in 1958.


I must check a map to see how far apart these addresses are from each other. Harold also had a business address in London.

Amber, can I be so forward as to ask where you got your info from, please?
Thanks a million for taking the time to look it up for me, it's made my day.
I'm so happy!

Mags

The Common Room / Jewish/Catholic marriage - help please!
« on: Wednesday 28 January 09 11:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I have Ellen Bailey (or Nell/Helen/Ellie) b.1899 co.Tipperary Ireland, marrying one Harold/Henry Levi Bromet, (b.1879 in London). She is Roman Catholic, he is a British army officer, of Jewish family.

Family stories indicate they maybe married when Ellen was in her 40's, after she had worked in the Bromet household for a number of years.

I have no definite year of marriage, or parish... my question is, is it possible to search any kind of online index for the marriage? I've tried freebmd, to no avail; are there other search sites, please?

From previous help by kind rootschatters, I know that Harold/Henry was living in Hampton Court Road, Hampton, in the 1950's,working as an advertising agent.

It seems the couple ended up living in Ireland in the 1960's.
Any help much appreciated, to point me in the right direction to track down the marriage...
Cheers,
Mags.
