Hi David, Re the Rockey and Sleemans in Ireland. According to the Irish BMD Indexes the James Rockey who died in Cork in 1865 was aged 91 making him born about 1774. There is also a will for a James Rockey Sleeman of Blackrock, Cork in 1870. Executor Margaret Sleeman, widow of said James Rockey Sleeman. Have found a possible marriage of James Rockey Sleeman to a Margaret Spencer in 1852, taking place in Cork Registration District in Ireland. Couldn't find a death record for James Rockey Sleeman in 1870, but assuming mistranscriptions a possible match is James Rackey Shannon who is given as aged 62, therefore born about 1808. So would suggest that you get copies of the two Irish Wills, plus the marriage certificate for James Rockey Sleeman, and see what information they will give you. Hope this helps.

I cannot find Salome SLEEMAN in the 1841 Census, but FreeBMD includes a Salome SLEEMAN who died Apr-May-Jun 1848 in Plymouth registration district (9 248). John and Salome SLEEMAN are possibly the parents of James Rockey SLEEMAN, executor of the will of James ROCKEY, of Blackrock, Cork, Ireland in 1865. (No relationship specified.) The James R. SLEEMAN enumerated in the 1851 Census at Sheepstor, aged 38, may be James Rockey SLEEMAN and may be a son of John and Salome SLEEMAN, and perhaps named for the father of Salome ROCKEY. There was a James ROCKEY in Plymouth in 1802, who is possibly the father of Salome ROCKEY. Lots of "maybes" and "possiblys," which is why I am seeking the assistance of s.k.s. on this list. > > David Langenberg > Newark, Delaware, USA
