Anyone with Irish roots any time frame

[Cas (stallc)]

Irish genealogy is very frustrating!


Carole

I agree....

I have gg grandfather, Thomas Flynn b c 1828 Cork, nothing else except 1881 census and dau birth cert (1878) were he is named, cannot find a marriage to her mother or census later/earlier to confirm....

Also major brick wall my g grandmother, Bridget Baggot.....must have told a few porkies...familylore say b Waterford c1880....from marriage cert....long story...got her after 1902 when she married thou'

Sorry Christoper and adhadowey,

                               But here also is my alusive Irish ancestor.
MARY ALLEN born somewhere in Galway ireland in 1845. She married my g grandfather Albert Isaac in St Michaels in the City Liverpool in 1869. They lived at Toxteth Park Liverpool until their deaths. Mary had a sister Margaret Allen born also somewhere and sometime in Galway Ireland.

Toxteth Park must be a big place because everyone in my OH's tree seemed to end up there...no matter where they came from...... His grandfather told me that Liverpool was the capital of Ireland and I believed him  ......so maybe all the lost Irish are there

I've posted Johngirl a reply on the Galway board

mab, a large number of Irish landed at Liverpool ... many stayed there, others moved elsewhere in Britain and the rest caught a boat to America, Australia, Canada or elsewhere. I'm the son of a Scouser

[forthefamily]

Christopher...not just Irish...Toxteth Park also had a lot of folks from the Isle of Man strangely enough  Son of a Scouser eh  ........ should have known that by your strange warped loverly sense of humour 

mab

p.s. Just kidding 

[johngirl]

Yes it must have been a big place. Unfortunetly where my g grandfather and mother lived they have demolished most of that area. They lived in Arthur Street Toxteth Park for many years. I would have loved to go there and seen were they lived but that is now impossible. Even the church they married in is now gone thanks to World War 11.

Thanks Christopher I have seen your reply to me on the Galway board. Now I will be hounding you for information on there Sorry.

  I like this `faint hope` thread.    I am hoping one day to find where    my Shaughnessys came from.  County,   townland or  parish,   I haven`t the foggiest. The censuses I have from Salford and  Manchester, where they settled, give only `Ireland` and like so many others with Irish roots we seem to have so little chance to find our ancestors. This is what I have on the original family that moved to England. ( Sometimes there were variations in the spelling of Shaughnessy` but they did not seem to use O.` They were Catholics.
 
William Shaughnessy.   b( about)       1808 (on the 1851 Salford
census)                blacksmith striker. . b. Ireland

Ann  Shaughnessy , wife,          b 1809  b.  Ireland

James Shaughnessy,         son,  (living nearby)          b 1831  b   Ireland  Cabinet maker.

Michael Shaughnessy un   b 1833 Tenter Cotton b Ireland

then a gap of 10 years,( perhaps there a previous marriage and Ann was the second wife)   and more children b in Salford. Thomas b 1843, Edward b 1845,and Mary Ann.b 1847)

~~~~~~~~-----------------
Another dead end is the birth of:
 Annie Maria Boyle, Catholic,   b about 1862-63 in Co Tyrone. seems to have been an only child born to John Boyle b about 1834 and  his wife Mary b about 1839. they moved to Manchester before 1871 when Annie was a child.

Thank you all

I agree with you both Chris and Aghadowey...I know you spend hours helping everyone...and

.........this could/ can /might /maybe /Willl /wont  /help /hinder

but it is the lighter side.

"not everyone looks on the Irish boards"

"Think out of the box"

"being stuck..just might be someone else's stuck"

"It is nice to know you are not alone"

"any faint hope .... is good"

"Generalizing is a good thing"

"we all need a boost to keep going"

"lots are sitting on information that they do not know is relevant for others"

I just thought a place for people to post might help ......

and Yes Chris wallpaper tree still on the wall.....I have GED-com now and six months on I am still only touching the surface with the information on it...well I do have 45ft by 6 ft to go...I will get it all on puter soon... ...I hope
