Hello, You can tell I am very new posting. I meant to say Roman Catholic Orphanages in County Cork, Ireland in the middle to late 1800s. Sorry about that.

Hi , Has anybody ever heard if there are actual lists of the orphans that stayed there in the late 1800s and if there is a website to find out more information. Trying with not much luck to find out where my grandma lived.

Any idea where the surname 'Dardis' comes from? It comes up when a Josehine O'Hara marries Dardis in New York in the 1930's. Thanks Gerry

Hi from Dublin,Ireland, Kate calling, Is anyone out there researching the BRAY surname, anywhere in Ireland. I have lots of info on Dublin research, say who you are looking for and I will have a look at what resources I have. May the wind be always at your back, Regards Kate

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Monday, September 20, 1824 CATHOLIC RENT At a Meeting of the Committee for the Catholic Rent, held this day, at the College House, the undernamed Gentlemen - WARDEN FFRENCH, RICHARD MARTYN, Esq, MARK LYNCH, Esq. RICHARD JOYCE, Esq. JAMES FYNN, Esq. Were appointed to commence on next WEDNESDAY the collection of YEARLY SUBSCRIPTIONS from the respectable inhabitants of the town, to enable the Treasurer to make an early Remittance to the Association. Galway, September 20, 1824. ~~~~~~~~~ FASHIONABLE NEWS A fashionable party of Electors were entertained last week, at the hospitable Mansion of Mr. John D'Arcy, at Clifden - amongst whom were the following respectable gentlemen: Colonel Martin; Mr. Kirwan, of Dalgin; Mr. Blake, of Reavyic; Sir Charles Peehell; The Messrs. Bell. Mr. Daly of Dunsandle was expected; but the arrival of his apology put an end to the political part of the conference; and the Gentlemen took different routes without having transacted the business. We have heard from our "little bird" now matters were to have been managed; but there is no use in giving publicity to what were the intentions of Honourable Gentlemen. Is it not very strange, that such an occurrence could not take place even in the remote wilds of Cunnemara without our knowledge!!! ------------------------------------------------------------- THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Thursday, September 23, 1824 A BALL MR.

Shit I know it's a template site, but it's only two groups. I'm not an orangeman but I thought it might be an awkward question. About awkward questions: My dear wife wants a new leather sofa, she is running around with about 2 grand checking out every furniture store in the palce. It's amazing how much discount is available for cash, what is more amazing is how she can save £600 odds quid and walk away from it leaving the salesman standing wondering. The one I like was £2100 on the ticket a 3 and a 2 seater nice thick leather, she had the guy begging her to buy it at £1450, and she told him she still had a few places to check out.........and she walked off again. I asked her what the fuck!! she calmly said "the salesman got some discount by calling the supervisor, the supervisor got some more discount by phoning the boss (brian), he said he had 3 containers and needed to shift the stuff in the showroom, If we call when the Brian guy is there we will get it for £1100............. If Iwere the salesman I would tell her fuck off missus. max.it (the orange cage)

Anyone with Sutton connections to Calary, Co Wicklow?

From The Cork Examiner, 17 August 1878 - POLICE OFFICE--YESTERDAY. ------------ (Before Messrs. [sic] A. M'OSTRICH.) SERIOUS ASSAULT. CATHERINE CUNNINGHAM was sent to gaol for one month with hard labour for having committed a grievous assault upon Robert Burleigh, by striking him with a hammer on the temple. TRAMPS. Two men, named John Collins and John Murphy were put forward by Head-constable Shea, who said that they had come to the bridewell on Thursday night saying that they had applied to the Workhouse for admission as they were starving and weary, having walked from Conna, and they were refused admission. Head-constable Shea said that he had given them a night's lodging and their supper and breakfast. Mr. M'Ostrich thought it was very hard that these poor men should have been treated in this way at the Workhouse. As there was no charge against them they were discharged. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I have found in the National Archives a record of a will of a Thomas Garry who died in 1837 in Kildare. He was a tenant farmer who left some cattle and household goods to his eldest son and heir and "31 pounds in small legacies and to the maintenance and clothing of the son James". Now in the 20th or 21st century the term "maintenance" would imply a divorce situation, but this was hardly the case in 1837 for an Irish Catholic. It seems, based on the fact that baptisimal register starts in 1818 and that there is no record of James, that James was born pre 1818 and was therefore over 19 when his father died. Any ideas as to why a father would provide for the clothing of a 19 year old son, and leave nothing to his other children?? Would there be any other documents/records that could be searched? John
