Judith, I'm not sure what measures you have taken to locate more records but I found searching microfilm indexes for Donegal Births my best bet. Looking up my family name, Hyland (and varients), and focusing only on those from Donegal Registration Districts helped me isolate probable children. Out of 15 lookups, I found the 12 known children and one not previously known. We have a William Hyland from Tipperary, S.R. stationed in Cork and Derry, married in Derry, and then stationed for the remainder of his 30 years in Donegal. His children were born in Coleraine, Coleraine (Mother went back home for birth), Ramelton, Ramelton, Letterkenny, Breenaugh, Letterkennny, Glenties, Glenties, Letterkenny, and Belfast (retired). My family was southern Donegal, Catholic Parish of Conwal and Leck. Some records are available on microfilms: Banns, 1853-1918; baptisms, 1853-1898; marriages, 1854-1921. FHL BRITISH Film 1279236 Items 22 - 26 Baptisms, 1898-1924; baptisms, 1874-1950; marriages, 1877-1920. FHL BRITISH Film 1279237 Items 1 - 3 Baptisms and marriages, 1854-1880. FHL BRITISH Film 926208 Baptisms, 1851-1924; marriages, 1857-1962; banns, 1853-1918. FHL BRITISH Film 1279203 Items 1 - 6 R.I.C. members were not allowed to marry until they had been in the Constabulary for seven years and they could not be stationed in either their county of birth or their wife's county. If it is certain that your great grandparent's marriage was in Donegal, then your great grandfather would have been moved to another county within a few months. The fact that a child was born in Donegal could mean he retired and they returned to her county of birth or that she returned there to have the child. Your certificate should show the address of the father. Your great greadfather's R.I.C. records should show the counties he was assigned to and the dates of assignment. If you have not done so, you might look up his name in the R.I.C. index, FHL microfilm # 852096, locate your greatgrandfather's name and then get the microfilm containing his service record (potentially 856061 or 851062 presuming 7 years of service at the time of his marriage). From his record you may find he was stationed in another county after his marriage and some of his children were born outside of Donegal. In any event, there were other places in Donegal where R.I.C. personnel were stationed. Hope this helps Ernie Nashua, New Hampshire, USA

Hi List The Public Record Office, Balmoral Avenue, Belfast has the Londonderry Journal which commenced 1772, later known as the Derry Journal, has Births, deaths and Marriages listed. The Derry Sentinel commenced 1829. Both of these newspapers are on Microfilm. Some of them are hard to read because they are so old, so take a good magnifying glass with you. They are such a valuable source.

Hi All, Ted Hynd created a new website at http://www.irishancestry.com/ I took a look at it today and the link to looking up names in Donegal no longer works. It directs you to the old Donfam site. I have not heard from Ted in a long time, so I don't know if he still has any research info online. There are links on this website (Irishancestry) which have useful information, just no data on families. Hopefully Ted is still on the list and can give us more info. Carol

Most local libraries have newspapers relating to their area. The Belfast Newspaper Library attached to the Central Library in Belfast also has a big selection of Northern Irish newspapers - including some short lived titles around the time of the 1798 rebellion. I have looked at actual newspapers there and in the British Library and NLI in Dublin. They are a good source as long as you are fairly precise about dates. Old papers had no pictures to break up the page and have very dense ,closely written print and ads which are tiring on the eyes. So looking for something that happened in 1802 is a lot of reading and all to easy to miss. As for BMD notices, those for the Belfast Newsletter have been indexed by the Linenhall Library in Belfast- (card index). You have to remember though, that newspapers chronicled the doings of the rich and well known and the criminal classes - not unlike today's really. You are unlikely to find many mentions of ordinary everyday folks and many of those couldn't afford to put announcements of BMDs in the paper either. That said, I do find newspapers useful if you have an approximate date for a specific event and now and again you can strike gold.

He marr Mary Balding/Baldwin, b 1809cx@ Poughkeepsie, NY, d 1843 @ Poukeepsie, NY. They were my gg grandparents. Their son, James Marshall, b 1834 @ Poughkeepsie, NY, d 1872 @ Rhinebeck, Dutchess Co., NY., marr Emma Cecelia Robertson, b 1841 @ NYC, d 1912 @ NYC.

Robertson Lispenard Cleveland was my father. He was investment counselor, but was still in college when we got into WWI, and he volunteered in the Army. He served in France until the end of the war, when he came home and back into the banking business. In 1941, he was 47 years old, marr and with two young children, but he tried again to volunteer in the Army. They rejected him because of his age and dependants, so he tried the Navy. Same story. So then he went to the Marine Corps, and talked them into letting him take the physical, which he passed with flying colors, and spent the rest of the war in the Corps. His biggest regret was that he didn't get overseas that time. That's my Hathaway connection, plus a few more! If anything here rings a bell, I'd love to hear from you. I haven't found a new cousin in some time now! If not, I apologize to taking so much of your time! Barbara Armstrong Cleveland Cofer (In MO, but born 7 raised in NYC).

18th Century Wages and the Cost of Living Wages could be as low as two or three pounds per year for a domestic servant, plus food, lodging and clothing. A beggar would normally hope to be given between a farthing and two pence in alms, while a parish pauper could hope for a weekly pension between a few pence and a few shillings. For a young boy chopping wood the going rate was 1 ½ pence per hour, while a porter could expect a penny for shifting a bushel of coal. A waterman would expect six pence to take you from Westminster to London Bridge, while a barber asked the same to dress your wig and give you a shave. Female domestic servants earned less than men. Wages for women could range from the £2 or so mentioned above, to between £6 and £8 for a housemaid, and up to £15 per annum for a skilled housekeeper. By contrast a footman could expect £8 per year, and a coachman anywhere between £12 and £26. Because they had to provide their food, lodging and clothing, independent artisans needed to earn substantially more than this. £15 to £20 per year was a low wage, and a figure closer to £40 per annum was needed to keep a family. The middling sort would require much more still and could not expect to live comfortably for under £100 per year, while the boundary between the "middling sort" and the simply rich was in the region of £500, a huge difference. The First Lord of the Treasury enjoyed an annual salary of £4,000. The cost of living was essentially in line with wages, although some items were much more expensive than their modern equivalents. Clothes in particular represented a much higher proportion of normal spending than they do now. A man's suit could easily cost £8, while even the uniform of a child looked after by the Foundling Hospital cost £1 12s 10½d. Rent was also a substantial outlay. Two pence a night would get you a shared bed in a cheap lodging house, while an inexpensive unfurnished room could cost 1s 4d per week. In order to gain a settlement, however, one needed to rent a house for £10 per year. Someone like James Boswell spent £40 per year renting a set of rooms. In normal times a loaf of bread could be purchased for a penny, while one and a half pence could buy you a meal at an Irish ordinary. If you wanted something rather more filling you could try a three penny ordinary, where a meal of meat and broth and beer was available for the advertised price. A quart of beer could be purchased for a penny, and a cup of coffee for the same price. Gin ordered by the quarter and half pint, would set you back a penny and two pence respectively Those were the day eh? Slan Henry --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

18th Century Money Values are generally expressed as . . . £.s.d., or else l.s.d., as in £12 10s. 6d. or twelve pounds, ten shillings and sixpence. The pound sign stands for Libra, a pound weight in Latin s. is an abbreviation for shilling in English (or solidus in Latin) d. stands for denarius or denarii (a Roman coin). You will also find references to . . . guineas of varying value (this value could change depending on the quality of the coinage in use) marks (13 shillings and 4 pence) nobles (6 shillings and 8 pence) Five, two, one and half guinea coins were made of gold and were introduced after the recoinage of 1696 Crowns, half crowns, six pence, three pence, two pence and penny coins were silver. Farthings and halfpence were made from copper. Beyond these coins a range of foreign currency was in circulation, including . . . pieces of eight ducats dollars The Bank of England introduced £10 and £15 notes from 1759, and notes of higher denominations later in the century. Throughout the eighteenth-century the supply of coinage and currency remained a significant problem. Clipping and counterfeiting were particularly common and seen as particularly heinous in the period leading up to the great recoinage of the 1690s. Many men and women appeared at the Old Bailey charged with these offences. Even after this period, however, currency fraud of one kind continued to exercise the criminal justice system. The rapid development of bills of exchange and paper banknotes was particularly associated with the rise of forgery and numerous cases of this sort can be found in the Proceedings of the Old Bailey The general lack of coins also encouraged the use of trade tokens. Pounds, shillings and pence were the basic currency of Britain until the change to decimalisation in 1971, having a consistent relationship of . . . 2 farthings to a halfpenny [ha’penny] 4 farthings to a penny 3 pennies to threepence [thrupp’nce, a joey, thrupenny bit] 6 pennies to sixpence [tanner or ‘half a bob’] 12 pence to the shilling [a bob] 2 shillings to a florin [florin, two bob bit] 2 shillings and sixpence to a half crown [half a dollar] 5 shillings to a crown [a dollar] 10 shillings to a ten shilling note [ten bob note, a half nicker] 20 shillings to the pound [a nicker] And remember, the bible doesn't say money is the root of all evil!

Hello All I noticed that libraries such as the British Library in London has Derry Newspapers going back 200 years. I suspect that Derry or Belfast has them also.

As I seem to remember to be a vagabond the person has to be over fourteen years of age. A definition . . . Legal: poor, able bodied, unemployed by choice. "A vagabond is, by choice, a person of no fixed abode or home, and who wanders about from place to place; spec. one who does this without regular occupation or obvious means of support so spreading the infection of idleness and vice." The National Archives in Canada seem to have the British Home Children well documented . . . http://www.collectionscanada.ca/02/020110_e.html Here is a bit on transportation over the period . . . "The first major innovation in eighteenth-century penal practice was the extensive use of transportation. Although there was some idea that transportation might lead to the reformation of the offender, the primary motivations behind this punishment were deterrence and the exile of hardened criminals from society. Although some convicts were transported in the seventeenth century, it had to be done at their own expense or at the expense of merchants or shipowners. In the early eighteenth century there was a desire to extend transportation as a way of creating a more effective alternative to the death penalty (in terms of deterring crime) than benefit of clergy and whipping. In 1718 the first Transportation Act allowed the courts to sentence felons guilty of offences subject to benefit of clergy to seven years transportation to America. In 1720 a further statute authorized payments by the state to the merchants who contracted to take the convicts to America. The first Transportation Act also allowed those guilty of capital offences and pardoned by the king to be sentenced to transportation, and it established 'returning from transportation' as a capital offence. In 1776 transportation was halted by the outbreak of war with America. Although convicts continued to be sentenced to transportation, male convicts were confined to hard labour in hulks on the Thames, while women were imprisoned. Transportation resumed in 1787 with a new destination: Australia. This was seen as a more serious punishment than imprisonment, since it involved exile to a distant land."
