Cork / Re: Humes Lane, Mallow
« on: Monday 27 August 12 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi there Babichuld. I have just seen your message about Hulmes lane.  Mum was born there in 1923. Her mother was Catherine Beahan nee Flynn who was from Mallow whose own father was Charles Flynn who was a railway porter. the family story was that mum was born 2 months premature on 1 Nov as my Gran went into early  labour due to some sort of commotion going on. a cousin believes this was due to a big fire. she thinks it was the a barracks burning down but I haven't been able to find out anything more .  it would be great to find out more about that. Mum as baptised n the same day at St Mary's church as she wasn't expected to live but she is still here 88 years later!

My mum was brought up in Dublin but I believe her grandparents stayed in Mallow.

I'd love to know more if you have any information. Thanks

My Mum know very little about him. All she knows is that her Grandad was born in India. She was very young when her Dad, Thomas Jnr, died and I suppose she lost that connection.  She does remember Thomas Senior as an old man who visited her with his wife. He was a clerk and dressed very smartly  and had a bowler hat.
I am fascinated that James Snr fought in the Crimean war - really looking forward to hearing more.

Wow - like you, I had sort of given up on finding anything and within 2 days i find two relatives! I'd love to know more, especially about the journal.  Look forward to hearing more. LIke BlueHat if you get the chance, could you post a private message.
Are you Leeds based? I have a son there at Uni.

This is fantastic information. Thanks to everyone who has looked it up.
Bluehat, good to find a relative. My mum, Catherine, would be your Mum's first cousin. Mum is  still with us at 87 and I'll tell her all about this and see what else she can tell us.

I was always told that Thomas was born in India and that he was in the British Army but knew very little apart from that. But the research backs that up. My Mum remebers him as being a very respectable man, wore a bowler hat and paid for her to have piano lessons.
My grandad, Thomas, is listed as working as a Fireman on the railways but in 1923 when Mum was born her is on her birth certificate as a sergeant in the in the national army.

Hello Bluehat
Kooky is right. I haven't been online for a long time - pressure of work, family etc.! Thanks for your reply. I believe that  Thomas Beahan had the middle name of Charles as did his son Thomas, my Grandfather.  I haven't found the surname of his wife, Mary though.

So it may be that we are related through our Granddad's. My Grandad died young in around 1929/30  and eventually most of the family moved to England. I don't have much information at all about the family but my Mum remembers William and has an idea that he was gassed in WWI - does fit in with what you know?

Dublin / 1901 Census lookup
« on: Wednesday 27 August 08 22:33 BST (UK)  »
My GGranparents are on 1911 Dublin Census living at St Patrick's Terrace, New Kilmainham. Would  anyone be able to look up this on the 1901 census. Their names are Thomas and Mary Beahan, plus children, Thomas, William, Ambrose and Mary. I have no idea if they would be at the same address in 1901 though.  Any help would be great - thanks!

Cork / Humes Lane, Mallow

My mum, Catherine Beahan, was born in Humes Lane, Mallow in 1923. Does Humes Lane still exist - any information would be great. It may have been the home of her mother's family, the Flynn's as they were from Mallow, whilst her father was from Dublin

Hi Les
Just read your post about Derby Street. My Granddad, Harold Butler Williams was born at number 6 Derby Street in 1880. I'd love to see any photos or have any information about it
