Cork / Re: Riordans From Cork to Bristol
« on: Saturday 10 March 12 21:08 GMT (UK)  »
 Wow I can't believe it's been 4 years since originally posting but I have some additional info, which might help. If you don't mind reading the original posting and then this one it will make more sense.

  Catherine and Daniel who I mentioned before, Daniel c 1810. had about 8/9 children.
 Other place names of interest now are Coolea and Derreenalig. Daniel Riordan I think had a house in Coolea and land and houses across River Sullane in Derreenaling. The village of Derreenaling was to the north of the land and farm was really closer to Coolea. Or it's possible the family moved between these places.

Does anyone know if Dirrinallane is another name for Derreenaling.

One of Daniel and Catherine sons called William c.1841 married a Johanna Ryan in 1873, they also had 9/10 children, in 1901 they can be found in Coolea and eventually in 1911 they can be found with a shop in Ballymakeery which was on the main road from Macroom to Killarney. He sold Butter etc as did the family in Bristol.  In the Census 1911 he is described as a Butter Merchant. Some of his sons Timothy and Daniel were sent to Bristol for their schooling.

Well hopefully with that additional info someone might have some connections.Thanks for ny insights.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: William Frederick Macey
« on: Wednesday 06 February 08 13:46 GMT (UK)  »
Update
  Received the birth cert for William Frederick Macey, in 1868 as suggested by Helina. Mother is Hannah Macey previously Arnold and father Frederick  Macey. I am still a bit concerened about the age difference when William marries Florence he is said to be 28 but this birth would make him born about 1870 and not 1868. However I think it's possible that Florence was not yet 18 either and in fact amy only have been 16.
 Anyway I am going to go with this one for now and hope it works out okay. Thanks for all your help

Thanks all. Wozzle Mary Ann Galvin fits well at least now I can get a marriage cert and see if Georges father was still alive at that time. I'll leave this open for now.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / George Biggs
« on: Wednesday 06 February 08 09:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
 Would like a look up for George Biggs born 1854 in Bristol ( could be Clifton ) to John Biggs c 1811 Hampshire.

I have him with a Annie in 891 and kids but in1881 she is Mary.A Biggs  Can anyone help with a surname for Annie and a marriage date please.

Also can anyone see George's father after1871. John and his wife Emily are living with Rosina (24)who is described as an invalid who unfortunately I think I found in the workhouse in 1881.
  Many thanks Clare

Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: Joseph POW Bath

Hi
 Thanks anyway. I believe that details are incomplete for Walcot, hence the reason I have not had any joy on the FamilySearch site.

Thanks for looking anyway.

Somerset Lookup Requests / Joseph POW Bath
« on: Sunday 03 February 08 12:37 GMT (UK)  »
HI
  As  a follow up to the Look up Request for Joseph's marriage which was found to be as follows;
1/11/1768 Banns

I am wondering if there are any details of Joseph's birth. Trouble is this will be a bit of a shot in the dark as I have no age for Joseph at the time of his marriage, but if we presume he 's about 25 we are looking at about 1743.

Well it's worth a shot!!

Many Thanks

Cork / Riordans From Cork to Bristol
« on: Saturday 02 February 08 19:51 GMT (UK)  »
In the late 1800's my great grandfather and his elder brother came form Cork to Bristol .It may have been Ballyvira?  Their names were Daniel c 1853 and Tomothy c1851 respectively. I believe they may have come with their sister Kathleen, who kept house for them. The surname was Riordan. I believe the parents back in Ireland wer Catherine and Daniel.The name was also linked to the Sweeney's or McSweeney's who I think may have been cousins.They apparently lived on a farm and were Irish Catholics. They were part of a large family. The family were obviously very determined and the family back in Ireland sent dairy produce from Ireland which was shipped to Bristol and sold from a warehouse which I believe was in the Redcliffe Hill are of Bristol. My Great grandfather and his brother became very well off. They had a well known Wholesale Business in Bristol for some years.
  Daniel married Elizabeth Brewer and they went onto have 8 children, one of whom Timothy was killed in the Great War.
 I have the family in the Census over 1881/91 and 1901, but I just wanted to know if anyone knows of the family in Ireland. Most of Daniels descendants lived in and around Bristol and still do.
  Thanks Clare

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: 1901 census
« on: Saturday 02 February 08 11:07 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Catone. I hadn't been able to find the family in 1881,it's good to see Sidney written as Henry. The family seem to have had a habit of going by second names. Their mother's name was Mary but she was known as Jane.
 iN 1901 William is in the workhouse, but I can't find Mary Jane or Charles or Sidney/Henry.
 The reason i want to find Sidney/Henry iin 1901 is because he ends up in Bristol by 1903 and I wondered what brought him here and when.
  Thanks for everything so far. I'll keep this open for a bit longer.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately the family you have found Catone  is not the Sidney I am after, but coincidentally these Pows are related back to the same William Pow of 1787.
  I have tried putting Sidney under his real name Henry Augustus and the name he later uses in all other documents,henry Sidney Pow or Sidney Henry Pow.
  I'll keep this open for now.
