BAPTISM & MARRIAGE LOOKUPS - MIDLETON CO CORK Ireland

[AlanR83]

Hello Frances,

Thank you for all your help so far and for letting me know the grave location for Midleton Workhouse, my Great Great Grandfather William Hayes is buried there.
On the Midleton baptism cert for Catherine Roche on 17 March 1897, one of the sponsors is a Catherine Hayes. I am trying to find anything that can lead me to the family of my Great Great Grandfather William Hayes, I believe Catherine Hayes is his brother's wife. I do not know the name of his brother, it is possibly David. Catherine Hayes is on the 1901 census for Main Street, Midleton age 35 as a Widow and working as a servant. I was wondering if you could please check if there are any marriage certs in Midleton between the early 1880's up to March 1897 where the groom's surname is Hayes and the brides first name is Catherine or Kate?

Regards,
Alan

Hello,
My family in Midleton, ROSS, appears to have been there from the early 1800s to the 1960s.  I would love some help, but don't know how far back the church records go.  My great-great grandfather Alexander (Sandy) ROSS died and was buried in Midleton in 1872, and my great grandfather James Daniel ROSS was born there c. 1857.  There are scads of other Rosses in the records ... the men were all distillers.

Hi Chris re your query I will have a look @ church records next week and see if I can come up with anything for you.  There was a "Sandy" Ross who lived quiet near me & would say he is a relation of yours. When his wife died he moved to live in Wales with his son Richard. Sandy worked @ Irish Distillers in Midleton & you are correct there is a strong connection with Irish distillers. Be  in touch. Regards Frances

Hello Frances,

I very much appreciate your offer of help.  How funny that Sandy Ross was a neighbour!  I am in the midst of finding his siblings, all of whom left Midleton after being born there; however, what I am particularly interested in is how the Ross family got to be in Midleton in the first place.

I found a Coleman Ross who owned property in Rostellan and Titeskin, d. 1873, and was buried in Midleton, wondering if there is a connection, if he might be the first one.

The oldest ancestor I know of is Alexander Ross, who died 7 Sep 1872, aged 62.  I don't know his wife Mary Ross' maiden name (I found her first name through estate reords), but presume they would have been married c. 1835.

They had 7 children that I know of:

Cornelius Paul Ross b. 1839, m. Elizabeth Catherine Mahony;
Julia A Ross b. 1845 Midleton, d. 1917 Midleton, unmarried;
Alexander Ross, b. 1848, m. Mary Dalton 1870, d. 1913 Midleton;
David St. John Ross b. 1851, m. Caroline C.;
Mary Anne Ross b. 1854, d. 1876 Midleton;
John James b. 1855;
James Daniel b. 1857.

Midleton is a place that despite its obvious importance to my family is largely unknown to me -- I have pieced the tree together on few clues, hints (occupation: distiller or brewer), and would love any confirmation that these 7 kids are issued of the union of A & M Ross.

Thank you so much for your time.  Please do let me know how I can thank you for doing this.
Kind regards,
Christopher Ross.

Chris1269 i can send you a Personal Message if you reply to this post thanks
Have seen your tree on Anc & you have discovered lots of information which isnt easy given the timeframe for Alexander b c 1811 Civil Reg didnt arrive in Ireland until 1864
Forgot to welcome you to Rootschat in my initial post

Hi Frances,
Not sure if I am understanding the protocol here, but I would rather a certain measure of discretion, agreed. 
Thanks again,
Chris.

Hi Chris 1269,

I have two headstone photos for Alexander Ross if you would like to have them.

I have a book written by the famous Cork historian Richard Henchion and the full transcription
is in his book, he also states that the Ross memorial is the "Largest monument in the Graveyard".

It does stand out in an overall view of the cemetery.

Let me know if you would like them and I can send them to you.

Hello,

I was wondering if you could please look up a baptism record for any of the siblings Bridget Hayes (b1887), Garrett Hayes (b1891) or Mary Hayes (b1893) with their fathers name Patrick Hayes of  Ballyvodock West (Midleton, Cork). I am looking to find their mothers name?
