Hi, Regarding his wife re-marrying I do not think he was still alive, as they were Catholics and I remember my grandmother was always upset over loosing her only brother. Family folklore was that he died at sea. (But maybe that was just away from home in this country I do not know). The last concret...

Hi,

Yes I have that certificate it is for a seaman with the same name born in Guernsey. I have checked that one out.

Regards
Sophia

Hi He was born in Liverpool in 1878. I have all the other information about him, but I cannot find his death, I have looked at the deaths abroad when I went to Kew and it is not there. He had a child Jane born January, 1904 and his wife Elizabeth re-married 28th March, 1907. I have found Crew list f...

I have found a death for a Charles Welson for the 23rd Dec. 1906 at Ford Cemetry in Ancestry. However on the Ford burial it states Wilson and there was no address. I cannot find a death in the index's for the above in Liverpool. There is a couple that might link up with the time frame in other parts...

Can anyone out there help me. I have been researching a family member in the Liverpool Crew Lists. In 1904 on one of his discharge papers in the column with the heading No. of Reserve Commission or R.V.2 No. It states alongside his name the No. R.N.R. 6534. Is this his personal No. for the merchant ...

Can any one help solve a problem I am having. I have found a death for a John Brennan age 67 in the Ford Cemetry death's on the Ancestry website. It is dated 12th February, 1899 Grave, B2438. There are two entries for this death one the name is stated as John Brennan and the other as John Brennon. T...

Thanks Mary A,

No that is not the John Brennan, but at least it tells me that the one in Standish Street is not mine, so it eliminates another on on the list.

So I am at least getting nearer.

Thank you for all your efforts.

Hi Mary A. Thank you for checking the death's, yes they were R.C. and their daughter was buried at Ford. She died age 26 in July 1888 and is buried in Ford but it is Sec. SV 2450 Public. I do not think her parent's Catherine and John would be in a private grave. I have the certificate for Athol St. ...

Hi,

I have just realized I said that the Brennan's were at Marlborough Street, until the 1891 Census, it should be the 1881 Census I checked the Poll Books and they were still at the same address until 1889/1890

Thank You.

Thank You Mary,

As you know I cannot pop down to the library,

I really appreciate you checking

Sophia

I am trying to find the death of a Catherine Brennan and John Brennan both born 1834 Ireland, it has been aweful difficult and frustrating, they are at at Marlborough St. on the 1891 Census along with their three children. I have checked the Poll book records at the library and they are at the same ...

Thanks dickiesam,

Regarding Edward Grocott he has proved a bit of a lad, at least he kept it in his family. Assault on & breaking the goods of A Grocott. Add that to my rogues gallery. Only problem it keeps growing,

Regards.

Thank You Dickiesam
I managed to crack my brick wall through that information and I seem to finally be making a break through after many, many years.

Again Thank You for All Your Help it is much appreciated.

Hi Katie, I just noticed the post regarding a Holland family in the States and thought this is familiar. The family tree is on the internet for William John Holland and Jane Grogan. They were a well known family who lived in the Scotland Road area of the city, and owned a pub by St. Anthony's. It is...

I have just posted a reply to all the information received, as it is nearly eleven when I checked you can understand the previous email. I have just realised I have got two Mc Nally's confused. There are two Mary Mc Nally's one married to Leary with children Martha and Catherine. With Martha marryin...

Thank you all for all the information, I have not checked my messages for awhile, I will have to sit and digest all the info and sort it out. The Mary Mc Nally married to William Burke is the right one with the daughter Martha married to a Mulby. I have checked the deaths for William Burke and found...

Hi and Thankyou,

I will see about getting the marriage details, I do believe they had a daughter named Martha, once again thank you for your help.

I am trying to find information regarding a John Mc Nally who married in 1911 at St. Anthony's Church. They had two children and that is all I can find. I presume he died in the first world war. I do not know if his wife Catherine died or married again. I do not have a copy of the marriage cert. so ...

Thank you Mary for the details of the marriage cert. I did take that off Ancestry. Victoria and Maureen must be in some way in the same family tree. In desperation I think I am going to get all the Sarah Connor's in the census and try to sort them out. I know there is two born within a year of each ...

Hi Maureen, It does not matter how long you are doing research you are still puzzled and it gets even worst. Mary Mc Kenna was John's daughter from his first marriage and married John Mc Kenna at St. Augustine's church 1869. John Connor died between 1861 and 1871. Also on Ann O Connor's marriage cer...
