The Half Acre Cavan Town

[Kiltaglassan]

James Agnew and Margaret had a son called Henry Agnew in 1898. 

OK, so this is your Henry in the 1901 census.

Hope you are still online.

Are you related to Mary Anne White who married John Jardine on 27th February 1911?

If so, her mum, Mary White was my 3rd Great Grandmother.

Hope you get in touch.

James

  O.M.G.James i am so sorry it took me this long to reply ...YES Mary Ann White ne Jardine was my Grandmother and Mary White was my Great Grandmother ...i am now 70 but i remember a trip to Cavan in the late 1960's ,we visited ederly relatives called Farley or Farreley who lived in an old house with a  bg cast iron hearth on which Tea was made .My Mother was Isabella daughter of Mary Ann who i remember vividly from childhood so if Mary is your GGG Grandmother then your family must spring from one of Mary Ann's siblings ..again i must apologise for my long delay (7years) until i found this thread again best wishes Douglas    GRIMUPNORTH.

Her maiden name was Mary Ann White and she owned a shop ,she married twice first to John Jardine with whom she had five children William,Tomas,Jack,May and Isabella. (1900s-1920s) John Jardine was a british soldier presumably stationed in the town.

Five children born from the marriage in 1911 up to end of 1922.

William Jardine can be found under Jordine in 1920.

Just can’t find the birth registration for John Jardine.

Hi there James , i need to tidy up my research, it seems all the children were given nicknames or names shortened as used within the close family ....i had an uncle "Jack" who i presumed was John ...i may be wrong but i will correct with you after i have a closer look ...cheers James
 ...hope you had a  grand Christmas

Kiltaglassan,
Thank you for your work on these pages.

[JSmith84UK]

You are correct Kiltaglassan.

Mary Agnew, born in Scotland is my Nanna’s Auntie.

Mary Agnew’s birth registration shows that her Dad, James Agnew and her Mum, Margaret Farley (Farrelly) got married in Pawtucket, USA in 1897.

James Agnew was born in Manchester, England (where I live) in 1874.

Margaret Farley (Farrelly) was born in 1874 at the Half Acre (Fair Green Hill).

Margaret Farley (Farrelly) entire family can be found on the Census Return 1841 when her sister, Rose Anne submitted her application.

Parents of the children are Thomas Smith and Jane Beatty (Beattie I presume).

Marriage for Thomas and Jane can be found here.

Thomas’ Dad is William Smith.  I’m assuming that he was born around 1795.
