Dorset / Bryanston Estate - Blandford
« on: Wednesday 25 September 24 16:33 BST (UK) »
My Grandfater Harold Graham ALLARD was admitted to the Cottage Hospital at Blandford I believe with appendicitis where he met my Grandmother who was a nurse. They married and lived at No 2 Bryanston, on the Portman Estate where he was employed. Also where my father was born and his sister. They moved to Weymouth when the estates were sold off and worked for GWR in an office on the harbour. I would love to know however what employment he undertook whilst working on the Portman Estate. Would anybody have any information, records, newspaper articles or the like, enabling me to get a flavour of their life at Blandford. Any information would be most appreciated.

Limerick / Re: O’Donnell Information
« on: Thursday 19 September 24 13:30 BST (UK) »
So was Denis Hynes wife still Sally Kelly? I am not sure when they actually went to England. He served in the Royal Limerick County Fusiliers Militia Reserve and five months after his marriage went to Tralee and enrolled into regular service with 70th Infantry Brigade on 7th December 1877. Although he went to England, Malta, Wales whilst in service I believe the first time she is on English soil is july1885 in Dover.

Limerick / O’Donnell Information
« on: Thursday 19 September 24 11:34 BST (UK) »
I appreciate that a lot of census were reduced to pulp in order to produce more paper, but, yes there is always a but! Is anyone from Limerick able to put a little more flesh on the bone of Julia O’Donnell born in Limerick in 1858, then married John Hynes in St John’s Church, Limerick on the 14 August 1877. I do know his parents were John Hynes and Sally Kelly. That is all I have on them both. Would love to know more from Ireland. They move to U.K. and I have the story from there as she (Julia) is my great grandmother.
Any information would be much appreciated.

My great grandmother was born in Limerick, born in or about 1858 and married a John Hynes also from Limerick, they married at St John’s Church, Limerick on the14 August 1877. Her maiden name was o’Donnell. John Hynes died at the age of 47, so Julia married the lodger from Dublin called Robert Richardson. I now think that they lived in Peabody Road and that the Queens Road Julia is the mystery person.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1921 Census - Farnborough, Hants
« on: Wednesday 18 September 24 16:31 BST (UK) »
I have two Julia Richardson deaths, one I know is my Great Grandmother who I believe died in 1915 and was buried on the 9th September, aged 60 she lived in Queens Road, Farnborough, Hampshire.
But! There is always a but!
I have also come across another Julia Richardson who was buried on the 14th September 1925, aged 67, who lived at 44 Peabody Road, Farnborough, Hampshire. So I am convinced there may be a connection. The 1921 census would hopefully tell who else was living in Peabody Road called Richardson enabling me to solve this quandary of whether or not they are both family. I am not with Ancestry, FindMyPast or any others and do not wish to have a free trial. Is anyone able to assist and look up this 1921 entry for Peabody Road? Would be most grateful.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Mary Knight War Bride from Farnborough

I can only say ‘Thank you Very Much’ all most interesting and puts meat on the bone in the family tree as they say.
Just as a footnote, she died before her mother and her husband sent to her ‘mother’ her jewellery and rings, my mother and an aunt visited the ‘mother’ in an old folks home and she showed them the jewellery.
Thanks again.

Yes that is the family Little Nell, I think Mary Knight may well have been illegitimate, hence why the marriage as Cecil was a lodger and Bridget had lost John Hynes, say no more as they say.
