Cavan / Re: checking details of baptismal entry
« on: Monday 01 August 11 14:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi Patricia , to answer your first question I was born and bred in Cavan , and in that time the army barracks was always there being used by the regular irish army, it was certainly used in1933/34 as my late father was stationed there .the register office is the same one , in fact the person in charge was a childhood neighbour ! I think perhaps you could look to the irish regular army archives they were based in Dublin . hope this is helpful to you.

hi Patricia I too had to pay a lot of money when I went back to Cavan .try Latterday Saints website first , then apply direct to registrar in Cavan . there is an office attached to the Hospital. you can find full adress on their website. You can also see Cavan if you go onto you-tube and see the cathedral .

hi aidan many thanks for your reply i found it judge very usefull , I got the info about hugh richardson being a major from an articile that my cousin  wrote , He has followed in my grandfathers footsteps and is a breeder of irish wolfhounds he is quite an expert on the subject he is also a crufts judge  the piece he wrote was part of a presentation , in it he reffered to our g grandfather .I would love to know what books he wrote  and if there were any photos of him . I havent managed to find any traces of him anywhere . difficult when you dont know where they were born . assumed they were from cavan . but from the info you have supplied i will try  scotland. many thanks again  angela

« on: Wednesday 17 June 09 15:32 BST (UK)  »
just received my fathers birth certificate and find he was born in Kilmallock workhouse in August 1920.  but I believe the workhouse was requisitioned by the British army in the same year Anyone have any information on the workhouse or it's records?  my 'googling has not been very successful.

hi  just seen your message . have looked up the name with dates on l.d.s website and found elizabeths birth . the only one i could find for a marriage was elizabeth mc gill wilson adair. might be a clerical error . married a anthony morton in kilmarnock scotland 27th sept 1901. if you have a latterday saints church near you , you can phone for an appointment  to look through their files . they have millions! they are very helpful and its free ! failing that you can check their website. good luck

hiya patrick with regard to the fox family i know only that their shop is on main st cavan . they did live on farnham rd  I    was a pal of  geraldine fox. dad was michael as far as i remember. i looked up griffiths land valiation of ireland and found  there were  Duffys fox and Mc Nallys living in shercock. Carrickmacross is actually in Monaghan which is not far from Cavan.   on the the valuation there is a Patrick Mc Nally of Crock Lusty Shercock !      On Latterday Saints website there are several Mc Nallys born Ireland,  census taken in New York.   if you write to foxs shoe shop main st cavan . im sure they will receive it . Cavan is quite small, where everyone knows everyone!  out of interest Shercock is actually gaelic  it means Young Love  hope this has been of some help . The duffy family lived on the Barrick Hill .cavan . father was building contractor.good luck if i can be of any more help let me know.  angie
