Wexford / Re: Furlonge Cornmarket
« on: Sunday 13 July 25 09:53 BST (UK)  »
Many thanks to both for your helpful replies.  Yes the same couple married twice. I hadn’t considered the possibility that it was a Catholic/ Protestant marriage. She was definitely Protestant and I assumed he was too but I have no definitive evidence although their son was a Protestant minister.

Wexford / Furlonge Cornmarket
« on: Saturday 12 July 25 23:53 BST (UK)  »
In her book, Errislannan, Allanah Heather describes finding the diary of her great great grandmother, Jane Frayne from Bormount in Co Wexford, in which Jane states she was first married to George Wall in Furlonge Cornmarket and then later in Castlebridge in June 1790. Can anyone help identify what or where is Furlonge Cornmarket and how might they marry twice?

the directory of TCD graduates - Alumni Dublinenses, gives his father as Peter, occupation 'causidicus' - probably a barrister.

Dublin / Re: Old IRA Dublin Brigade
« on: Monday 05 August 24 23:14 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for any information on William (Liam) O'Carroll who was, according to his death notice, a member of D Company, 3rd brigade, Old IRA.  He had a pub in Bath Avenue and often kept IRA men on the run there.  Apparently it was regularly raided by British forces during the War of Independence and by Free State forces during the Civil War.  Liam sold the pub in about 1930 and died in 1950.

Armed Forces / Re: Identify uniform

Thanks- I didn't recognise it as a buckle.  I thought it was just 3 white buttons on a belt.  Clearly (or not so clearly) my eyesight isn't what it was!

Thank you John915
It's quite possible the colours are wrong.  As I said, I imagine my uncle coloured this photograph and this could well have been after my grandfather's death in 1946, so he wouldn't necessarily have known the correct colours.
I have looked up the photographers (Hamptons) and from the design of the photo mounting it is likely the picture was taken about 1900.

Thanks Jebber for that information.  I'm not sure if its the same Donald Muir in the Scottish Rifles because grandfather was married in 1901 and was described on the marriage cert as a journeyman boilermaker. 
Its a bit indistinct but the belt doesn't seem to have a buckle - just three white buttons.  That is one reason why I thought it maybe was just a photographer's prop.

Armed Forces / Identify uniform
« on: Thursday 21 December 17 23:32 GMT (UK)  »
I believe this is a picture of my grandfather, Donald Muir from Glasgow.  He was born in 1875 and I think the photo was taken about 1895 by Hampton photographers in Glasgow.  Although the uniform looks military (Royal Artillery was suggested to me), I don't think Donald was ever in the military.  As far as I know he worked in the Glasgow shipyards all his life and he is there in the 1891 and 1901 censuses.  Perhaps it is a bandsman's uniform or did photographic studios have clothes (and uniforms) for customers to dress up in?   I assume the original was in black and white but that it was coloured later (I remember my uncle, his son, used to do that).
Any help appreciated

Do you have any information on Ann (or Ellen) Kertland (b abt 1811 in Dublin) who married Daniel MacNamara (probably in Dublin) and later moved to England
