History of Clonmel

[crystalight]

  Thanks Daisy, I did post quite a while ago now but maybe I should dig the post back out.

If I come across anything for you I will let you know, also if I manage a trip to TNA at any time I will contact you so I may do a look up.

cheers

I know some time has passed I don't have the bradshaw's birthday's, but I believe they have a brother called thomas Christie who was born on 11 Sept 1838 in London.  Also I believe that Anne married Dr Robert Butterfield Cumming in 1850.

Sorry to jump in on this thread but.............
Hi Sante

Yes indeed the details you post are correct, I cannot PM you as you do not have enough posts

- My GG Grandfather was Thomas Christie Bradshaw.

I am curious to know if you have more details? especially regarding his mother.

Have you seen this website? http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com/search.php?filename=db_QUIS

Thank you so much for this, Daisy Loo. I have just come in on this thread and did not know about that website. Tonight I have just found my gtgtgrandmother's christening on it, though unfortunately not her parents' marriage, births or deaths. I have been searching for these people for eight years now. Now at least I have discovered her mother's maiden name. 

Although the site is pay-per-view, 5euros does not sound too exorbitant. When I visited the Tipperary Family History Centre and the Brian Boru Centre in person in 2001, I was quoted a sum of 20 euros per search of the closely guarded database. It seems someone in Ireland has realised they will have to drop their prices a bit if they want to make money out of family history.

I also looked at the Waterford Library site you recommended on another thread, and found the same family's details on the Clonmel Griffiths Valuation - which, for some reason seems to count as Co. Waterford - so Rootschat is very much in my good books at the moment.

Thank you again. I'm feeling quite pleased this evening 

Best wishes,

Edwina

That's really good Edwina!  I have come to a bit of a dead end myself, with my Clonmel...hopefully one day, I too will discover an additional piece of onfo that will kick start things again.

Rootschat is good like that...certainly helped me no end

Hi...I'm John and I'm interested in getting the birth record of my Grandma and to possibly find relatives in Ireland.  She was born Helen or Ellen Sullivan in Clonmel sometime about 1880.   She immigrated to the USA...New York when she was a little girl...

Hi John Welcome to Rootschat.

You might want to try this site: http://www.rootsireland.ie/

Do you have her marriage certificate?  Does it name her father, and his occupation?  That would help, when looking for a baptism.

I wish you much luck.  Sadly, I didn't get any further back with my Irish born ancestor....but I haven't given up hope yet that one day....

  Hello Joe, I just had a notification that someone had posted to this thread.

Have you tried the site Daisy Loo recommended? It has a very large number of records of all kinds. If you know her name and place of birth, that is probably enough to get you going. Searching is free, but it costs to view the exact transcription.

The Irish National Archives also have some databases relevant to family history:

I also found my great-great grandmother's death certificate by searching the General Records Office of Ireland website:
http://www.groireland.ie/
Civil registration began later in Ireland than in what was then the rest of UK, so that is why I was only able to catch a death certificate, but, if you are looking for someone born in the 1870s / 1880s, you might well be able to get a birth certificate, marriage of parents, birth of parents... etc etc .... Well, who knows, you might...?

You might also get somewhere with the Tipperary and Waterford pages of this site:

Perhaps you already know about these resources already, but good luck, anyway!

Thanks for the suggestions ...I will try them....regards....John
