Hi there Pauline

When did James Fallon who was born in 1854 die ?

Is he on the 1911 census as this one is quite good with counties in Ireland ?

James was born after civile registration but his brother Patrick was born after so if we can narrow down what county they came from it would be a start as Fallon is quite a common Irish name.

Hi Tara,  Thanks for getting back on this one.  James had died in 1910 Patrick in 1909, so just missed the 1911 census. On previous census dates Patrick is born bet 1856 to 1859 etc., but I was looking at his gravestone today and he died 25/5/ 1909 and it said 43 yrs so that would go back to 1866 I think. There are loads of Fallon's in Ireland aren't there, not too many in England. Thanks for the idea of Civil Registration, I've just had a look and in 1866 the following : Downpatrick, Sligo, Athlone, Drowmore West, Longford, Stokestown. Lots of others a few years apart. In the Irish Baptisms there was a Patrick Fallon 19/5/1866 Galway West, with father James and mother Bridget? A few years ago I got a baptism copy from  Irish Roots for James Fallon baptised 29/6/1854 at Kilashee, Co Longford, parents James  Fallon and Judith Egan, sponsors Patrick Fallon and Ann Egan, but couldn't find match with Patrick, one in Kilashee  year 1866 but different parents.  Thanks very much for your help :)

Hi Pauline

I'm afraid with no definite county, a wide range of dates, plus a fairly common surname you are dealing with the proverbial 'needle in a haystack'.

I will be honest and say 'keep your purse closed' LOL 'til you get a better lead.

Fingers crossed and Good Luck

Tara

 :)Thanks for your honesty Tara,I'm of the same mind, I think I would probably have to buy loads of records with no gaurantee of a match, I did that for Anthony Gaughan from Mayo on  my gran's side and didn't get the right match, another popular name in Mayo.  Will let you know if I do find them. Thanks again Pauline Adamson (nee Fallon)
