Parish Registers Lynn Dello?

[Juliefay]

Hi Julie,

The National Archive of Ireland may have them. If they haven't they should be able to point you in the right direction. I've sent a message to a member in the Dublin area to see if they know where the Rolls are kept.

Chris.

   Thankyou so much.   Julie.

Hi Julie (and Christopher)

So far as I am aware there is no centralised record for the electoral rolls but rather each Local Authority would be responsible for keeping the roll for their area.

I myself, have looked at the electoral register for Dublin in The Dublin City Archives in Pearse Street where they have an excellent computerised search facility.

Louth County Council has a Genealogy service and they mention electoral rolls but for a much earlier period. I think it very likely that they would have registers of a more recent vintage too but in what format and how easily searched I couldn't say.

It would be well worth asking the question and they can be contacted at referencelibrary[at]louthcoco.ie

At the  risk of sounding rude could I ask you how sure you are of the name Dello?

Do you have any "official documents" showing this name? Is it possible that it was an alias or a.k.a.?

Good luck in your search

These archive chappies and various government departments responsible for giving them grants don't believe in making life easy for people researching their family history.

I checked with PRONI re the NI Electoral Rolls and received confirmation that they have the Rolls for the six counties. When you say each Local Authority, RonnieG, does that mean the rolls are stored in twenty eight locations. Does that mean if one's ancestors moved around the country to any extent you'll be chasing all over the place.

Re that reference to grants ... the UHF are now seeking volunteers to assist them as they are now in a grantless self supporting situation.

Hi RonnieG, Yes I am as certain as I can be about the name, please excuse my ignorance but what is a a.k.a.? there were no official documents, with his name on, he wasnt adopted officially, just brought up by the McCann family, well I might add, he was a good man. He actually became a British citizen, after many years in the British Army, swearing on oath that what he said was what he thought to be true. Of course we had to advertise in the Irish newspapers pryor to that in case anyone new different. I am gratefull for any help anyone can give. Thankyou. Juliefay.

Julie,

I've been thinking. Your late husband's name should be on school registers somewhere and there should be medical records too.

     Hi Christopher, Thankyou for your thoughts, Now its the strangest thing because I actually hired the services of a researcher in Dundalk( Lynn went to Point Road Dundalk ) But  it seems the register records only went as far as 1925, probablybecause confidentiality issuesarose after that time, I even sent a copy of Lynns death certificate across because the lady concerned was going to look at when the school closed it would have amalgamatedinto another school in the area, but unfortunately for reasons only she knows she stopped communicating with me!!!!Perhaps she got fed up with brick walls!!!!!I will never give up.  Thankyou again for your thoughts on the subject. Julie.

I'm afraid so Christopher.

RonnieG  I have been in touch with the reference library, but its not looking good at present, I have had 2 emails saying (havnt been able to locate electoral rolls yet!!!) But you and Christopher have  given me food for thought anyway for which I thank you, also Aghadowey, I have sent for Lynns Army records this week hopefully it might have the Ireland address on them, so might have some more to go on. I at least will know what churches are nearby.  Best Wishes Julie.

Hi Julie,

Hopefully those military records will give you the lead you need.

Your late husband's names, both firstname and surname are very distinctive, so once you get over this particular hurdle your task will I hope become easier.
