Louth / O'Callaghan/Morton
« on: Sunday 18 November 12 19:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All,

Would love to hear from anyone who has any links to the O'Callaghans/Morton Families from Dundalk, I have recently found out there is a link from my mother's side (Gray) to the Morton family.

A few years ago when I posted regarding my Great Grandfather Michael Joseph, O'Callaghan being the first internment at Dowdallhills Cemetary, I have since found out that he was indeed the first internee there, and the headstone was erected by his friends of the Temperance Society.

This family research can be very interesting and sometimes very frustrating!  ;D
Take Care

Ireland / Can you point me to the best site
« on: Tuesday 27 March 07 15:55 BST (UK)  »

Hiya, :)

What in your view is the best value for money site to search for Irish Ancestors, I`m interested in the 1800`s onwards, I don`t mind paying, but I`d like to be sure the one I pay for will hold the records I`m seeking, eg, BDM, emigration.

Any help and advice will be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Aunty Em :)

The Common Room / Re: Ireland to Scotland

Hiya aghadowey :)

Thanks for the reply, the info I have is very sketchy to say the least, my grandmothers name was Mary (also known as Maisie) Short, nee Connors, born around 1900?? At James St, Dundalk. I`m afraid this is all the info I have.

Many thanks

Aunty Em :)

The Common Room / Ireland to Scotland

Hiya, :)

Could someone help with this question please.

My grandfather went to Glasgow around 1925/26 with his wife and son ( My father). Apparently my GF couldn`t settle there, and went back to Ireland taking my father with him, his wife didn`t return with them. She was never seen or heard of again. Is there any point trying to trace her??

Thank you

Aunty Em :)

Hiya Lizzey, :)

Thank you sooo much for your info, I`m indebted to you, I will have a look in the national arcives, bless you :-*

Hiya Annie,
I have my mothers birth cert, she was born in 1919, it states her father was a labourer, this is all the info I have apart from my grannies death cert. I`m afraid I was brougt up in the era when children were not allowed to listen to adults talk and was shooed from the room if any `talk` was going on :) ::) My grandfather died in 1960, we live in England, so I only have a vague recollection of him.

I really appreciate all your help, thank you :)

Thinking about medals and uniforms..... I have a misty memory of three medals in my mother handbag, which I used to look at as a child,( I don`t know wht has happened to them) there is a photo somewhere of my GF in uniform, if I can remember who has it.

Take Care Annie

Regards

Aunty Em :)

Hiya Jayne, :)

It`s possible he`s buried in Dowdallshill cemetary, my G Grandfather was the first internment at that cemetary in 1895.

You could also try http://www.familysearch.org

I managed to find my paternal grandfather on the above site

Here is a website curtesy of Brendan that you could try to locate the graveyard.

http://www.irishgeneology.ie/gravestones/

Think both of us could be hitting brick walls for rellies in Dundalk, however, onwards and upwards!!

Good Luck!!

Regards

Aunty Em :)
