Cork / Re: Hosfords - Snuff and Tobacconists in Cork City
« on: Thursday 19 April 12 14:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi Shane,
Many thanks for this.  I should have thought to look at familysearch.org.  As you say, Joseph Frederick Hosford certainly looks promising as do the marriages you refer to.  I will investigate these.
Many thanks again

Cork / Hosfords - Snuff and Tobacconists in Cork City
« on: Wednesday 18 April 12 22:44 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for the family of Joseph and Elizabeth Hosford of South Main Street, Cork.  Joseph died on 28th December 1813 and his wife died on 15 December 1822. They were Wesleyan.  Joseph was a freeman of Cork City.

Joseph was a snuff and tobacco merchant.  The first entry in the Cork directories for Joseph in South Main Street was in 1795 and the last was Jonathan Hosford in 1842. Joseph and Elizabeth had a daughter Jane who married Joseph Allen, a quaker (I know about them).  What other family did they have? Was Jonathan the son of Joseph?  Are you descended from this family and can you help.

Do you know where the Methodists of South Main Street would have been buried as that might provide a clue.  What happened to Jonathan after 1842.  Have the methodist records survived and if so, from what period and where can they be viewed.

We received a chunk of the tree from Susanne, a descendant of Leonora's son Thomas who married Alice. Are you in touch with her?  She has Amy who married J. Philllips and had William and Arthur.  We didn't know that he was a tea taster from Melbourne.  She gave us details about 14 children by Leonora who married T. Evans.

Hi,
I know the death date of Amy Green because it appeared in the Carlow Sentinel newspaper.  The notice also stated that she died after a long illness at Thornhill, Dundrum, Co Dublin on 21st September, 1848.  For your records, all three daughters were christened at St Catherine's Church of Ireland, on 3rd December, 1848.  It's a puzzle as to why all three children were baptized on this date and not when they were born.  Check out www.irishgenealogy.ie and you will see these three entries.  It shows their mother as Amy but strangely doesn't mention the mother as 'deceased'.  Their place of residence is Sally Park.
Where does your family fit into this tree?   I have a note that Amy Green (the daughter) married John Phillips but I have no further information.
Many thanks for your information.
Catherine

Amy Greene who married Henry Rochfort Fitzmaurice had a sister, Mary Abigail who married Charles LeClere, a brother Robert, a brother Johne and another sister Mary Anne.  Her mother Amy, was the daughter of Robert Greene and she was born in Dublin.  I am not sure what kind of relations Amy's mother and father were as they were both Greenes. 
Amy, wife of Henry died in Dundrum, Dublin on 21st September, 1848.  They had three children Amy, Leonora and Henrietta.  I haven't the death dates for any of these three so if you can share these, it would be great.  Henry and Amy lived at Ardnehue, Co Carlow.  They had 65 acres if land.  Henry was the 7th son of John and he died in Brighton, Melbourne of a chronic disease of the brain which he had had for 5 years.  He must have left ireland shortly after Amy's death possibly around 1851. He married Leonore Farley in 1853 and had six children.  I have death dates for all except Eva Eugenie so would love that one!  According to my records only John Alfred and Clara married but I could be wrong! Clara appears to have had 7 children.

Henry Rochford Fitzmaurice is in my tree.  The parents of Amy Greene were John Greene born 1782 married  11th November, 1807 died on 24th December 1851 in Berkeley, VA, USA.  He married Amy Greene born 1786 Dublin and died 19th August 1818.  Do you need information further back than this, ie their parents?

HI,   I am researching the Twigg family.  Elizabeth Knox married Captain John Twigg who was the brother of the Rev Samuel Twigg (my line).  I have found all this information very useful.  The photo of Sara Twigg that you have posted with the date (1950) - Is that the sister of John Thomas and Samuel Knox Twigg who married Frances Vance?   Do you have any information about Major General John Thomas or Samuel who married Frances and had Mabel Twigg who married Charles Johnson and Sidney who married john Kenworthy??

All the best for now
