This is an excellent idea, i've not been on here in AGES, i lost access to my email and couldn't remember my pw but all good now.

Going to read up on what i've missed, and will input if i have anything further to offer.

Great idea Bob ;D

Dublin / Townsends of Dublin 1800s?
« on: Tuesday 02 March 10 12:36 GMT (UK)  »
I have been researching my family tree for a while and on saturday had a major break through due to a wedding certificate being unearthed :)

my 4 x gr grandfather was:
Samuel Townsend

Born abt 1804
in Dublin, Ireland

 Died Mar 1872
in Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, United Kingdom

I have him on the England census for 1941.

I really want to find out who his family were and where abouts he was from in Dublin etc...How would i go about this? I am new to Irish research as he is the first irish person i have come across so far in my tree.

Does the 1831 census exist?

Any help would be very much appreciated :)

Thank you so much for the words of inspiration Billy...

I spoke to my nan last night and apparently...the dance hall he worked at was near richmond road in London...this came under Kingston when i googled...she said she worked in a hotel near there at the time.

and that is all...i've googled 50s clubs for that area and all i got was the regal cinema...doesn't state whether it was a dancehall in that period.

apparently her mother(my GR N) said that he was emigrating to South America...convenient this?! ::) as apparently in the 70's he came looking for them!

it's sooooo frustrating :(

that's my nan the above quote my auntie IS desperate to find out...time is running out she fears, she's been searching for 20 years :( and my nan has only just returned to the UK and got in touch with family....

but it this way, she didn't want kids and my dad was left at 5 to be raised by his paternal grandparents and father...i'm 28 and i've met my nan about 8 times!!! ::) >:(
