Kildare / Re: Do you need help in Athy, Co Kildare
« on: Tuesday 29 September 09 02:42 BST (UK)  »
Yes I most certainly do!  We recently stayed in Athy.

I just returned from a trip over to England and Ireland ( from New Zealand) chasing details of my grandmother's birth family.  My grandmother was adopted and knew she was but her adoptive mother wouldn't tell her any details. 

Well I finally found her birth family in January this year ( she was 2 months old and named with her birth name in the 1911 census living with the family that adopted her!!) and they are a family from Co Kildare in and around Ballitore, Narraghmore, Moone, Timolin and Fontstown.  Now i had heard of none of these places before this trip.  We achieved a lot on the trip but our time was very limited and I was unable to chase down the Parish Records for Fontstown, Church of Ireland, baptisms.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi there

we've sorted out William he didn't belong with the 3 girls (I even had a note to myself to check it).  The Samuels and Marys - well I am still trying to wade through all that lovely information to sort something out there. 

Maybe I should point out my tree presented is a work in progress- I welcome anybody to question what I have there- my direct line I am sure of but even that gets cloudy as you go backwards.  Do I work differently to most people?  I use the genealogy software to record all possibles even unlinked persons and add links as the information is revealed.  It's definitely something I change and alter as I go along.  When I print a page off and put it in my folder I have a reasonable expectation that it won't change!  Does that clarify my tree for you?  I hope so.

So please keep up your wonderful work and don't question your data interpretation  because I have something different!  Woodhouse VARNEY was one of those unlinked people that I have in my database, I added him ages ago and always thought I might find a link to my branch- I haven't yet unless you count a descendant marriage..

I'll try to keep up to date with what you have here- access to a computer permitting (my laptop is away being fixed or otherwise)- it's fascinating what is cropping up.

I was just checking your data to mine.  I have Arthur Varney born c1868 listed on the 1881 census as Henry's brother in-law not  his son.  I haven't found the right place for him yet though.

It's a tangled web of Varneys I am still working on it!
