Hi There,

A marriage was recorded in St. Paul's RC Church, Arran Quay, Dublin on 29 Oct 1871 between Richard Donaghoe of 12 Church Road, Dublin, son of James of Tummen, Co. Wexford to Catherine Monaghan. I presume that the father's address of Tummen might be a misspelling of Taghmon, Co. Wexford?

Patrick Dunne and Anna Mary Doolittle also had a daughter named Mary Anne Dunne who was born in Swords on 3 Jan 1891.

I have learned the following about Patrick Dunne and Anna Mary Doolittle's daughter, Mary Anne Dunne from Sr. Luzia Koch, General Secretary, Sisters of Divine Providence, Munster, Germany:

"On October 17, 1911 she entered the congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence in Munster.

On May 23, 1912 she was received into the novitiate.

On April 16, 1914, she took her first vows.

She died on December 21, 1916.

She was buried in the cemetery at the Vorsechtungskloster in St. Mauritz, Münster."

There was a report on Mary Anne's first vows in the Wicklow Newsletter of 2 May 1914 on Page 7. The article stated that she was the "daughter of Mrs Dunne of Swords" and granddaughter of "the late Mr. Thomas Doolittle of Wicklow" and that her name in religion was Sister Patricis.

Hello,

I am seeking the birth certificate for my 2nd great grandfather, James Gregory Doolittle. He was born in July of 1855 in Wicklow, Ireland. James was the son of Thomas Doolittle (Harbor Commisioner and Coal Merchant in Main, St. Wicklow) and Mary Anna Gregory. He had a brother named Thomas Arthur. Both James and Thomas were mariners and moved to Liverpool, England to work there.

James immigrated to the US in 1893, naturalized and died in Salt Lake City in 1924. I don't know if Thomas followed his brother or stayed in Liverpool.

Any information, stories, documents and/or pictures of anyone is this family or local would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much,
Kristin

These men had a sister, Anne Mary Doolittle who married Patrick Dunn[e] (d.1904) in St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland in 1888. They seem to have had at least 4 children.

Hi Chris,

I admire your commitment to such phenomenal research! I wonder during your transcription of names whether you came across a grave for James B. Campbell who died in 1986 while resident apparently at New Kilpatrick. He was a son of James Campbell (1890-1950) and Mary Marcella Campbell nee Beirne (1892-19620.

Thanks in anticipation.

I descend from John Cooke, born in 1855 and lived in Tullanaglug for his long life.  Do you know if your branch of the family is directly related to him?  Thx

Pat Meehan

Hi Pat, one of my ggf's was James Cooke (1859-1922) of Carrigeenagowna, Tubbercurry. His parents were Patrick Cooke (c1820-1904) and Mary O'Hara. However, before they moved to Carrigeenagowna Patrick and Mary lived in Tullanaglug where their eldest daughter, Bridget was born in 1847. My grandmother, Mary Kate Brennan (1891-1968), daughter of James Cooke always insisted that she was related to the Tullanaglug Cooke's as well as the Kilturra Cooke's.

Ireland / Re: Dail Courts
« on: Friday 23 May 14 09:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi again, Jamie,

I had a look at the papers again last night. The Dail Courts document and the photo were all that I found relating to the 6th Battalion. Other documents include papers relating to the work of the Dublin Sinn Fein Peace Committee which tried to avert the Civil War and later to organise a ceasefire to facilitate negotiations. The papers also included a copy of the Commemorative Programme issued by Sinn Fein for O'Donovan's Rossa's funeral in 1915, a Notice of Election Poster for South County Dublin for the Pact Election and a booklet issued by the Stationery Office in 1922 detailing the correspondence arising from the Treaty negotiations between the British Govt and the Provisional Govt.

Hi Jamie,

I'll have to go through John's papers again to answer your question properly. I recall that John O'Keeffe was the Secretary of a Dublin Sinn Fein Peace Committee which operated for a time in the hope of first averting and secondly effecting a ceasefire to allow negotiation and there were certainly papers relating to the Committee's activities in the documents I found. I also found an article that he wrote about the Committee which was published in the Irish Times in 1975. In addition I found a photo of John O'Keeffe and three other men which had written on the back of it, '6th Battalion annual dinner, 1956'. If you pm me your personal e-mail address I'll send you the photo and, perhaps you and your friend will be able to identify the other men in the photo for me? I did try to attach the photo with my post last October but I couldn't because it was too large apparently. I'm enough of a technophobe that I settled simply for posting my message!

Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: O.S. B. Gill

Olive Lucinda Gill or Lucinda Olive Gill may have been a daughter of Lucinda Bell nee Symes (c1854-1935) and John Frederick Gill (D. 15 Oct 1899), a Manx judge. Her mother appears to have been previously married to Thomas Arthur Bell, a Dublin stockbroker, who died on 28 oct 1888 according to the Calendar of Wills, NAI. Apparently, her mother was a member of the Dublin branch of the Society for Psychic Research for a period of time.
