Hanley (aka Hanly)- Sorta completed i guess! :)
« on: Saturday 10 July 10 20:20 BST (UK) »
I'm interested in searching my husbands ancestors but have very sketchy details.  (long story lol and my husband can't remember dates, places.). I really want to have details of the family tree for our kids. i'm searching for my husbands grandad, who was  john. Hanley (J is either for John or James, and he was in the police force. . They resided somewhere in Offaly or Kildare, Ireland.. My husbands father who was Walter James Hanley (b.2/july/1941) resided in Kildare and was in the army, he died in Ashington , Northumberland and lived in Pegswood (d.2000 27/7) My husband hadn't been in contact with his father for years before and up till his death. As i said he's terrible for dates, names etc. I would be grateful for any help or how i can go about searching. I would like to trace the Hanley's (sometimes incorrectly spelt as Hanly) as far back as i can really!  Any info or how to go about it would be grately appreciated

Hello Margeh75,

welcome to rootschat.
Family search pilot site http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
has an entry for:
birth:
Walter J Hanley 3rd quarter 1941 -mother McGrath
Naas district. (Kildare)
You need the volume and page numbers (just click on the name) ignore the film numbers etc
You could send for the certificate to http://www.groireland.ie/

and take it from there. The 1901 and 1911 Irish censuses are online and free  :D to search.

best wishes
heywood

Well these are ALL the people starting with Walter J Han (with wildcard)  in 1911 census for all of Ireland... http://www.rootschat.com/links/095r/
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Hello again,

The Family Search site has other children around the same time- surname Hanley and mother McGrath which may help your husband. Do be careful though because those people could be living and names of living (or possibly) persons should not be published.

good luck

John Hanley-completed and found :)
« Reply #6 on: Saturday 17 July 10 14:44 BST (UK) »
looking for any info on my husbands Grandfather John Hanley born around 1896-98?? The whole Hanley family came from an area being these main areas (possibly bordering-connecting counties) in Kildare, Rathangan, Offaly. John Hanley was a Sergeant apparently in Rathangan, i don't know when he died. My husband when born came from Clonbullogue in Offaly. And Rathangan where John Hanley (his grandfather resided) is not far away from here. Looking for any kind of archive info or any connections with John Hanley.

Hello again,
did you get John's name from Walter's birth certificate?

You can search Irish census for free for 1901 and 1911 to help you in your search for John b 1896-98. That would then give you his parents and siblings.
