Canada Lookup Request / Re: John Riordan from Mallow Co. Cork to Ontario Canada

Thanks Karen,
I have been trying to find out how you knew he was born in Ireland (jeremiah) I clicked on 1911 census and saskatchewan and put in Riordan to the search, a list came up of the houshold, himself with the wife and kids, and the link then took me to a few entries that looked the same family but from the 1901 census. but neither parts are showing as he was born in ireland, so i'm not sure if i am looking at the same as you lol....It would have been so great if it had shown a brother John living with them ha, i would have known i had the right fella....

Karen, Thank you so much, i will take a look, unfortunately I am not very good at all with geography, (my sense of direction is zilch, and ive me a map and it just looks like a childs scribble to me, not the best thing to have a lack of knowledge about, especially wen trying to trace people ha. So any help is extra special to me, thank you.

Charlotte i havn't made any headway at all on the link you gave me, but that could be more my fault, like i said lack of knowledge, but will keep looking...thank you.

I will let you know on here if i find 'my' riordans

Thanks for the ever so quick info charlotte, do you have a web address for the site you mean...I would like to see if there is other family there also, My mum is Alive and has often wondered if her Grandad had another family somewhere. So it would be nice for me to be able to tell her something.  She is 79 now and ill health, and she often asks if i found her Grandad lol... Thanks again

Canada Lookup Request / John Riordan from Mallow Co. Cork to Ontario Canada
« on: Sunday 30 May 10 10:44 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find my great great grandfather and his brother, I know he left Ireland on 13th May 1908 and went to Canada. (says one member of family) He is John Riordan, born 1862, it is believed he went to his brother Mick(?) information i have is Salk St. Ontario Canada.
It is believed he joined the Mounted police. 

The Story behind John leaving Ireland is that he was married to Mary Ford on 6 May 1900 at the Chapel of mallow Co. Cork.
They had three children borne John, Nora and Kate,  and they had a rather nasty domestic, as i heard it, he came home drunk, and hit Mary with a chair
On the 1911 census Mary and the three children are living at 9 Berry Lane with her mother and father, Jeremiah and Nora Ford (though i do know her given name was Mary) the youngest of the children born was Kate, i have her Birth Certificate and she was born just three months before he left Ireland.  (I don't think there was a court case but i do think her family ran him out of ireland) On the Birth Certificate that i have for Kate, it has father listed as residing at the workhouse Mallow and the mother living at 9 berry lane.   

It is Kates daughter that i have received these details from, though a cousin a few years ago told me that he left to go to a brother Jerry in America because he had killed someone.... Jerry i would imagine to be Jeremiah... But i don't know what siblings he did have...so i am lost, is there anyone that can help me with this please

Cork / Re: Riordon/Ford in Mallow and not sure where I should post it, hope it's ok here

Haha, I just noted that Nora is registered there as a male haha...and the surname too is scripted wrongly.  Interesting too as it shows Nora Ford, the wife as Blind, Kate (her Grandaughter) is Blind and my Mother is partial blind, and will go blind) 

I just noticed too, she is called the head of house's wife is Nora forde,  my papers show her as Mary ??  But everything else is so positive.
