Rose Purcell - Baillieborough Cavan

[billinge]

Does anyone have any information on Rose Purcell who married Francis Timmons and in the 1830s was living in Baillieborough? They had children in the 1830s

Rose Purcell was my great great grandmother. We knew her as Roseana,although she is listed variously as Rose Ann and Rosa.The 1851 Census shows her aged 35(?) and living with her husband Francis Timmons in the village of Chapelhall, Lanarkshire,Scotland.They have two children living with them, John (18) a coal miner and Susan (14). Another daughter, Rosa(11) is listed as a servant with a local family. I have traced a further daughter Elizabeth who married a James Donnelly in Baillieborough in 1849. It would seem that she did not come to Scotland until circa 1855, ultimately settling in Mothewell.The Register for Deaths Lists a Rose Ann Timins as having died on the 18 Dec. 1879 in the Poor House, Motherwell aged 74.The entry lacks the usual names and professions of her father and mother but I have no doubt that this is Rose Purcell.

Dear Johni ,
Thank you for this information. It is the same Rose Purcell who was also my G.G. grandmother. Do you know if Rose and her husband were born in Baillieborough? I have not been able to find a marriage record. I did not know about the daughter Rosa so thank you for that as well. My relatives are descended from the John Timmons.

There was a shop on Main St., Bailieborough back in the early 1900s and the sign over the door read P. Timmins. Perhaps connected or maybe a totally different family......who knows! The premises is now known as Fox's public house.
I have a photo showing the shop but it wont attach here for some reason so if anyone wants it just email me at (*)

Hello Billinge

Rose Purcell was my GGgrandmother( on my Grandmother Jane Donnelley Fathers side,) Andrew Donnelley  was my Great grandfather , his father James Donnelley was married to Elizabeth Timmons, Elizabeth was Francis Timmons and Rose Purcell Daughter. I had no idea until very recently that my Ancestry began in Ireland( That could explain my lifelong fondnes for  Irish people) Jane Donnelley ( my Grandmother was born in Motherwell she married Michael Mckeown(his  family also  originate from Ireland( Co Longford I think)
 Their daughter Grace ( Mckeown ) was my mum( now deceased ) My mum and dad  and me  moved to England after the war (as there was no work in Motherwell at the time.) Hope you find this info helpful  Frilly
