Can anyone help me find any information on Mary Ann Byrnes of County Wicklow, who married a Henry William Hayden some time in the late 1870's or early 1880's. Kathy

Hi, Helenor! Could you check the book concerning Frongoch Prison for Sean Thomas O'Kelly/O'Ceallaigh? How about John "Jack" Ryan? I'm not sure if Ryan was imprisoned also, but I know that O'Kelly was. Thanks! Joni Leffler

I recently saw a baptism in a Catholic church register which stated that both named parents were Protestant. Usually if the baptised person is an adult that fact is stated and there are no parents names, but not in this case. I assume that this was an adult being baptised but are there other circumstances where this could happen? Tabby

From The Cork Examiner, 14 April 1881 - POLICE OFFICE--YESTERDAY. ------------ (Before Messrs. C. J. Dunn and A. Mitchell, R.M.) Two countrymen named John and Thomas Ahern, father and son, were put forward charged with having been drunk on the public street. It appears that the prisoners were found lying helplessly drunk on the public street, and the younger had in his possession at the time the sum of £37 0s 3d. It being the prisoners' first offence, they were fined 5s each. A young man named James Hammel was put forward by Detective Sub-constable Bulmer, charged with being a deserter from the Royal Navy. The prisoner was ordered to be sent down to her Majesty's ship Revenge. Denis Hegarty, Bowling Green-street, was summoned by Head-constable Cantillon for having bought and received into his possession 28 pounds weight of lead, being a less [sic] quantity and weight than as a dealer in old metals he was authorised by law to purchase or receive. The defendant was also summoned for having failed to keep and make an entry in his books of same as to the person from whom same was purchased. Head-constable Cantillon said he proceeded under the 13th section of the Prevention of Crimes Act. He deposed that acting upon information he received of a quantity of lead that was stolen from the warehouse of Messrs. Scott, Patrick's-quay, he went with Mr., Scott to Mr. Hegarty's marine store, Bowling Green-street, and discovered there 28lbs of lead, when the servant said she had purchased it from a woman in the country whose name she said she did not know. The greater part of the lead, which was in four parts, appeared to be newly cut. Mr. Blake, who appeared for the defendant, said he was satisfied to plead guilty to one of the summonses if the other was withdrawn. Head-constable Cantillon refused to adopt this course, as he said he was sure this was the lead that had been stolen from Mr. Scott, and he (the head-constable) said that it was a man had sold the lead instead of a woman as the servant pretended. For the defence Mr. Blake submitted that the lead was bought by the servant in the absence of the defendant. The lead was bought with a quantity of rags, a penny per pound being allowed for them. Mr. Hegarty, who was a respectable man, thought it better to plead guilty to the offence trusting that his good character would have its weight with their worships. Their worships under these circumstances imposed the lightest penalty they could, 10s in each case. ARMS LICENSES FOR THE CITY. Mr. Mitchell announced that the arms licenses for the city would be granted at the County Grand Jury Room at 11 o'clock to-day. Adjourned. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This message is posted here in an attempt to reach as many Canadians involved in genealogy as possible. Just when the problem with the release of the 1911 census has been resolved, another seems to rearing its ugly head. Canada Post is in the process of preparing its new budget to take effect March 1, 2006. One of the changes is that libraries will no longer have a special postal rate to ship materials by mail on inter-library loan. The example given to me was a 4" x 7" x 3/4" paperback book which can currently go out on inter-library loan at a cost of 87 cents, effective March 1, 2006 will cost $7.44. There will be very few libraries that will be able to absorb this large increase. My local library has already decided that there will be no inter-library loan available once the new rate comes into effect. They cannot afford the extra cost. Lack of inter-library loan will not only affect those of us doing genealogy but also students, researchers, and every person who simply wishes to read a book that is not available at their local library. This is supposed to be the information age, but not every library has all needed information, not everything is available on the internet and not every home as a personal computer. Everyone will be affected regardless of whether they live in a rural area or in a major city. Once again it is necessary to email our members of parliament, the Prime Minister, Paul Martin, the minister responsible for Canada Post, John McCallum, the minister for Canadian Heritage, Liza Frulla and your local federal member of parliament. In this case, because most libraries also receive funding from the provinces and city and municipal governments, they should also be contacted. Canada Post will finalize their budget on Sept. 1, 2005, so there is some urgency in showing how much opposition there is to this increase. They would probably be happier if this proposed change did not become public knowledge, until they can say it to late for them to do anything, so send your letters and e-mails as soon as possible. A letter to the editor of your local newspaper might also bring this to the attention of more people Please pass this information on to any person or group you feel will be affected. Sometimes it takes a lot of voices to make them hear.

Thanks Sammy - Holywood Road was the only road I knew of but I didn't know if it went "by the sea shore".

Lyn, If the three "---" represent actual letters, I can't think of any road. If they don't, I would suggest "Holywood Road" This runs along the south side of Belfast Lough and finishes in Holywood, which has a small "sea shore". Regards SammyM

My Great great grandmother was born in Belfast about 1818. In 1842 she was writing romance stories based in part on truth. One story is set in Belfast and she mentions H---d road, close by the sea shore. Does anyone have any idea what the name of the road may be? Lyn in Oz.
