Tralee barracks?

[rebekahm28]

Joseph Durden born 1850 in Finedon, Northants, was stationed at Ballymullen in 1881 when he married Honoria/Hanora Neligan. They moved back over to Northampton, but were later posted to Malta for a short while.  Honoria/Hanora was from a village just outside Tralee.  I'd love to hear from anyone connected to this couple.

if you had the name of the village you  could check up her family on the local records birth certs land repayments etc,,tralee library have the 1905 census so if she had brothers and sisters they should be registered where they lived name of there own childern,the population of kerry wasnt huge at the time so perhaps there might have been one or two familys from that area with the name

Thankyou for replying!  She was from Ardfert, but was over in Northampton by 1883 when their 1st child was born, unfortunately. Interestingly, her marriage record says 'Bessie Johnstone' in place of father.

ah there's not many neligans from artfert i should know my mothers from there,there is still neligans there anyway!

[rebekahm28]

   oh Lordy they must be related to my family!  I'll contact the library tonight about Bessie on the 1905 census, and might email the paper local to Ardfert about Honoria.  Im desperate to find out about her ancestry, its driving me insane.

the census was in 1901... and is due to be available in full on the website of the National Archives early next year.

hi again rebekahm28

just wondering ..do you have an approximate year of birth for Honoria ?

also do you have an actual place of birth for, or is Ardfert her residence at the time of her marriage...
