I came across an item saying that Col Thomas Coote came to Ireland with Cromwell and c.1653 claimed 17,000 plantation acres at/near Cootehill, co Cavan. Shouldn't the item read 1,700 acres? The thousands quoted seems excessive. Frank Duggan

I've been to Ireland 9 times. The first was in 1979 with my parents when I was all of 6 years old. On my last calculation while sitting in a Dingle pub contemplating my previous trips, I realized I've circumnavigated the island 13 times, clockwise and counterclockwise. :) If you are going for the first time -- or the first time not on a @#$% tour bus -- just email me with where you'd like to go. I'll gladly give you some insight and recommendation no matter what your budget is. Feel free to email me at robert AT perfect pint shoppe DOT com. Cheers!

Harry, your best place to start is with a copy of the marriage registration. Go to http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/bdm/research.htm for information on purchasing a copy. You can download the appropriate form from the site, print it and send along with your payment. I have only had to acquire one certificate from Queensland and was very happy with the service provided. If the marriage certificate contains the same information as that on NSW certificates, it should show the names of parents, the father's occupations, the occupations/ages/usual place of residence. The next step is to get copies of the death certificates. This should show you, in addition to the information on the marriage certificate, "where born and how long in the Australasian Colonies or States". Sounds easy enough. But be warned. The information on these certificates is only as good as that given by the Informant. The minister who married them may have been busy or whatever and not provided all the information on the form he had to lodge with the government office so didn't fill in all the information. In this case, you may need to search out the actual parish registers. The information on the death certificate may be a bit sketchy, depending on how much knowledge the Informant had and, I suppose, how important they thought it was. For example, I have obtained copies of most of the certificates pertaining to gg-grandparents and their large family. The first death registration, that of a daughter, gives the Irish townland in which she was born, most of the others only give the county, and a couple simply state Ireland. I could be very wrong but Matthew Henry Hobbs sounds more English than Irish and an 1890 marriage makes it very possible that he was born in Australia. You really need his death certificate to ascertain his background.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, September 2, 1824 PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE Saturday Thomas Lynch was executed in front of the Waterford County Gaol, pursuant to sentence at last Assizes, for having, on the 12th of April, at Crahane, assaulted Anna Geogan, and robbed her of money and wearing apparel. On Saturday, at three o'clock, Mr. Justices Jebb and Vandeleur left Cork, under an escort of the 15th Hussars, after terminating the Munster circuit. A Waterford paper of Saturday, in speaking of the execution of the six criminals for the murder of Mr. Marum, states - "We have heard of very unpleasant indications of popular resentment both at Kilkennys and at Galmoy. It was a melancholy coincidence that very near the temporary gallows, and within sight, was a similar construction for a like purpose in a neighbouring part of the Queen's County." LIMERICK, Aug 28 - An order has been received to commute the sentence of death on the following, who were convicted at one of our last County Assizes: - Richard Green and John Armstrong, of the 29th Regiment, for robbery at Rathkeale, to 12 months' imprisonment; John Kennedy, for robbing the mother of a soldier of the Rifles, to 18 months; John and Patrick Croneen, sheep-stealing, 18 months. At Tralee Assizes - Timothy Foley and Michael Coffey, for robbery, and Daniel Hanifane for a rape on a girl whom he has since married, are to be transported for life. A new barn, near Ballybroad, the property of Wm. Gabbett, of Caherline, Esq, was maliciously set fire to this morning, by some evil-minded persons. The only cause that can be assigned for this outrage is, that it has been fitted up this week for the reception of some of the Constabulary force. This outrage has taken place in the barony of Clanwilliam, which has been lately relived from the Insurrection Act, at the instance of the Magistrates. Wexford, Aug 25 - ABOMINABLE OUTRAGE - Four cows were poisoned on Friday night, at Red Bog, in this County; they belonged to a man named Kehoe. Two of the animals were opened by Dr. Bomford, whose inspection of these fully confirmed the suspicion which had been entertained of the abominable nature of the outrage. Kehoe had taken his farm against the will of another person. On Saturday were committed to gaol, by Arch. H. Jacob, Esq., Francis Jourdan and Bridget Jourdan, his wife, the former charged with having robbed Mr. James Kenworthy, of London, merchant, of a considerable sum of money - the latter on suspicion of having aided and assisted him in the robbery. The prisoners were servants to Mr. Kenworthy, the sum of money stolen from whom amounted to upwards of two hundred sovereigns. Nearly the whole of the money has, we believe, been discovered; nine of the sovereigns were found in the pocket of the female prisoner. They were taken on Friday evening to Enniscorthy, Jourdan's mother or mother-in-law accompanying them. In the morning, one of the policemen, hearing her cry with her hands to her face, "Oh, what will I do? what shall become of me? I shall never see him again!" caught hold of her by the cloak and pulling her back, exclaimed, "Get out of this you old b--ch" The good old woman took his advice, and in a short time finding that her clothes were incommoding her, threw part of them off, which some country people perceiving, as also the accelerated progress she was making, set up the cry of "a mad woman," and instantly gave chase. In this they were joined by Mr. Gowan, who was the first that overtook her, unluckily for himself as she gave him "a tip" that would not have disgraced the the school of a Langan or a Crib. It measured the length upon the ground, from which he arose only to be floored a second time with equal dexterity. But what can science or valour avail against numbers? The other persons who were in pursuit having come up, they found that their eyes had deceived them, as much as those of the travellers who were disputing about the changes of the camelion, for this nimble-footed, science-fisted old woman proved to be no other than Mr. Jourdan himself.
