Hi There, Its probably what they call the night of the big wind in Jan 1839. Northern Ireland, The West and Midlands bore the brunt of the hurricane. Approx 250-300 people lost their lives which wasn't a lot when you consider the Storm's ferocity, and most of these deaths were at sea.

Hello All, This 1831 update completes forty years of convicts being transported from Ireland to Sydney Cove, New South Wales. There appears to be a marked increase in riotous behaviour in the Counties of Tipperary, Galway, Clare and Roscommon. What's surprising is the fact that the activities weren't confined to the young single male age group. When comparing the crime rates within age groups, social unrest is also 'affecting' the older married man. One of the male convicts gave 'single' as his marital status on arrival in early 1831. However his wife arrived later that year. I'd love to know the circumstances surrounding his reasoning. Again the married convict was required to state the number of children in the marriage. The largest family was eleven. Some of the 'single' ladies had children shown but none of the single males. The disclosure of family relatives in the colony by the convicts is an important element to this update. Just over 14% of the convicts had at least one relative in the colony. Some convicts named more than one relative. I think that the earliest relative arrived about 1811. You can check to see if your Irish convict had a relative by following the link to search the database at http://www.pcug.org.au/~ppmay/ Over the years I've known to make mistakes so I do suggest that you check the original shipping indents which also contain additional information. Regards, Peter Mayberry Tuggeranong ACT

They have been indexed from newspapers all over the U.S. and Canada, as well as Ireland and elsewhere, including 24,408 entries from The Cork Examiner of the 19th and early 20th century. The index is not limited to Irish persons, nor is it limited to formal obituaries or death notices.

My grandfather Michael White (1861-1939) of Ballyagran, County Limerick, Chicago and San Francisco left Ireland in 1884 for Chicago just prior to his last year in the seminary. The family cannot find a record at Maynooth so I am thinking he was studying with the Christian Brothers in nearby Charleville. He was knowledgable in Latin and Greek so I am thinking he left a major seminary the year before ordination. Would 24 be the normal age of ordination during the 19th century?

Cur Gaylord must love the Irish, as he continually sends his unwanted replies.

Also try Scotlands People- very informative.

Hi Colm If Sir Crispin was in front of my Clan, he wouldn't even be good ' feed' for the pigs. We would just chop his wee balls off so he couldn't sire.
