I'm interested in Twamleys as my gr-grandfather was one and was from County Wicklow. May I ask where you spotted these baptism entries? Any idea which church in Wicklow? Also, do you have any idea what the SS refers to? I'd really appreciate any more info. Thanks.

Dear Harry, Check the marriage certificate as the parents names will be on it, as will the bride and grooms ages. Then you will have a date to start searching the parish registers for baptismal information.

Harry, Try whatever records repository in Queensland would likely have marriage records. You have the names of the participants and the date, therefore it should be easy enough to get the record from Queensland authorities. Henry F.

The way I heard it is the mothers knitting the sweater made a special stitch so that their sons or husbands might be identified after drowning in situations where the body was not found for a long time later, and where decomposition would make the corpse un-identifiable. But I think what is happening now is just a marketing ploy to create sales for what never before existed : Clan Sweaters. The same type of marketing is going on with so-called "County Tartans".

Folks, I am looking for a Pierre O'Rielly, or Rielly from St, Peter, Limrick, Ireland, circa 1670. His wife would be Louise Lafontaine. They had a son Jean Baptiste, b abt 1670. The reason for the French sounding names is that this data was recorded in Quebec, circa 1704 at the marriage of Jean Baptiste. -- Remove "NOSPAM" from email address. Dick Miale
