Hi Michael, Thanks so much. I'm not sure if wife was present. Have not found a death for her - yet. If nothing else, his son would have been the informer as this death occurred at the same residence where my gr. gr. grandfather and his family were living. I live overseas. If I found the correct information for John, he was married in N. Ireland around Londonderry. He was married by license in the C of I but no mention of parents for bride or groom. They were of majority age. I have contacted the church up there but have not heard back from them yet. They are probably very busy, with getting ready for Easter. I have not found baptisms there for their children so I have a feeling John and wife moved shortly after marriage, maybe to expand is trade better. He was a cabinetmaker. I have not found a will or probate for John. I would think there would be something, if just for his tools of trade.

Hi List, I have never gotten a death cert. from Ireland and I was wondering if they put the spouse's name on the death certificate. The death was 25 April 1865. I hope the spouse will be mentioned as that would help verify the marriage I recently found. Sue macduff@embarqmail.com

>From The Irish Times, 29 August 1890 -- EVICTIONS ON THE GLENSHARROLD ESTATE Limerick, Thursday. On the Glensharrold Estate to-day a number of evictions were carried out. Some time since, at Foynes (Newcastle West) Petty Sessions, warrrants for the possession of eight tenants' holdings were obtained from the local magistrates, and to-day they were put into execution. John Ahern, occupying some twenty-five acres, was one of the tenants to be dispossessed, but on the arrival of the sheriff's party, Ahern had a conversation with the receiver, and a settlement being effected, the tenant was allowed to remain in occupation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Theresa, The only problem with the Askaboutireland site is that the maps do not correspond to the data in the Valuation lists - the maps appear to be from several years later. This means that it is not possible to link from the reference no. in the valuation lists to the actual house occupied by the family you are researching. I have used origins.net and while this does involve a fee, the maps correspond directly to Griffiths so you can pinpoint the relevant house.

I just put online (the Tipperary section of my website) the 2nd half of 1853. I have the sessions divided by quarter because of the volume of cases. A quarter runs more than 500 cases, many are adjourned to another day, so you will find a some cases repeated often. Since I have not chosen to to sort the data by name, and have kept it by date like what is in the record, if you don't have the time to search by date, use the Google search engine on the Tipperary page. However, the names are listed by last name, first name, so you should put the name in the index as Connors, Timothy not Timothy Connors. One of the cases I found interesting in this group, is how a person was charged for leaving his job before his contract with the employer was up. Again, many were jailed for debts and stealing potatoes.... Oh, I almost forget to mention...if you find a case of interest, check out the film because I haven't listed the charges or outcomes (dismiss, fine, jail...). Also, the clerks didn't know how to spell the townland names and many times the handwriting was so, that I couldn't make out the letters, so I stress check the film.... -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Did you see if these guilds still exist and try contacting them? You can also check local places where stuff like that would be archived; the local public library, historical archives. As well as National Archives and their Dublin equivalent.

Hi list, Does anyone know if there are websites for the 1800s for Guilds? I'm looking for John Duff, cabinetmaker, who was born abt. 1800. He was married in Londonderry and was a cabinetmaker. He was married 7 Dec. 1825. By 1851 he was living in Dublin and still a cabinetmaker. I have found him in Griffith's valuation for Dublin. It doesn't tell me anything new. I already knew what street he was living on and his occupation. I was hoping the guilds might tell me more. Sue macduff@embarqmail.com

Hi List, I found this marriage while doing a Google search for John DUFF who was a cabinet maker and was living in Dublin by 1851. He had at least one child, Daniel DUFF born 1834 in Ireland, county unknown. I'm wondering if this could be my John DUFF. This was St. Luran's Parish. John Duff of the Parish of Arboe & Townland of Drumullin & County of Londonderry - Cabinet-maker and Agnes McKee of this Parish & Townland of Tullybuy & County of Londonderry - Spinster - were married in this Church by License with Consent of _____________ this seventh Day of December in the Year one Thousand eight Hundred and twenty five By me Jas Mauleverer Curate This marriage was solemnized between us {John Duff Agnes McKee In the Presence of {John McKee George Smyth Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been looking for wife of John DUFF since about 1995 without any luck. I have the marriage and death for his son, Daniel and the censuses in Lancashire, England, where Daniel moved to with his wife, Jane Burrowes, and children right after the 1871 UK census. All it gives on the censuses was that Daniel and Jane were born in Ireland but no town or county. The family, so far, has only been known as DUFF. I use macduff only because I have liked that name since I was a child. :-) Sue

To save you too much trouble ... the only name I see in the "Alumni Dublinensis" is Caldbeck, obviously brothers as follows: CALDBECK, JOSEPH, S.C. (P.T.), Oct. 17, 1834, aged 15; s. of William, Generosus; b. Antrim. B.A. Aest. 1838. CALDBECK, WILLIAM, S.C. (Mr Ring), Oct. 21, 1833, aged 18 ; s. of William, Generosus; b. Antrim. B.A. just. 1837.

Thank you. I'm very interested in all Irish history since my heritage gives me 3/4 Irish ancestry:-) Thanks to all for your help, Pat

Thanks for the photo. I love old bridges and this one is very unique....will add it to my genealogy. pat

Although it turns out the bridge in question may be in the U.S., here's a book that has information on bridges in Ireland. Irish stone bridges : history and heritage / Peter O'Keeffe and Tom Simington. Publication Info. Dublin : Irish Academic Press, c1991. Description 352 p. : ill., maps ; 26 cm. A major study of the social and structural history of the development of road bridges in Ireland dating from AD 1000 to 1830.

Transcribed from the 23 March 1847 edition of The Armagh Guardian newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Pensioners for New Zealand.--The first division of this force, consisting of mechanics, will leave England, for New Zealand, in the first week of April next. This district, which comprises Belfast, Carrickfergus, Lisburn, and Newtownards, has only furnished four volunteers. Mechanics are sending out first, for the purpose of erecting cottages, &c. We understand, that it is contemplated, at head-quarters, to have pensioners spread over the entire of our colonies in time. The Short Enlistment Bill is the first step of this grand scheme.--Whig. ========================

How important is finding family history is to you? Are you embarking on a project to create your family tree? Are you curious how far back you can go to finding your family history? Finding family history can be very interesting. The prospect of learning your roots and finding out what you never knew can be exciting. What can you discover? Where did your ancestors come from? Some people are just not interested in knowing their backgrounds. The thought of knowing how they end up where they are at the moment just doesn't intrigue them enough. Some other people just are curious on how they came to where they are. The thought of knowing how they got there, who were they related to, and finding out the family tree are just an important aspect in knowing the roots of their very existence. Wouldn't it be exciting to know the names of your great, great grandparents? What about finding out the names of your great, great grand uncles and aunties? You might even find out your family history that you never knew about. You'll never know who you're actually related to if to don't search for your family history. A lot of people nowadays are interested to build their own family tree, and more and more people are actually doing so because at this internet age, finding such information are made much easier and much more accessible. They don't have to go through much trouble to gather such information. School projects also might be a reason why people are embarking on a quest to finding family history. What started out as just a project have invoked a great interest to further search deeper into their respective family's history. Wouldn't it be exciting finding out if your ancestors were someone well known for their great deeds in a community? Wouldn't you be proud if they might be people who have somehow contributed to the country? Who knows what else you can find out about your family history. Good or bad, one thing's for sure; you can't erase the past. The past is to create a path for the future. The past can be something you learn from and grow from it.

Thank you for your interest. Since posting this inquiry I did some serious research and found that the Ireland they were talking about is Ireland, Dubois County, Indiana. There is a bridge called Postlewait - a covered bridge, but it is no longer in use. The grave is in U.S. Sorry, guess I should have done this searching before asking the question here. Pat

Patricia, For what it's worth, there was a Postlewaite Bridge in the USA in Dubois County, Indiana built in 1872. The picture of the bridge can be seen at: http://www.countyhistory.com/coveredbridge/dubois2.htm It was a beautiful historic covered bridge, unfortunately lost in the early 1950s. It is worth a look. josephum On Mar 21, 2010, at 8:39 AM, Patricia wrote: > > Can anyone tell me if there really is a bridge in Ireland named > Postlewaite?

No, I don't believe so, I have searched and can't find any with that name. I find a > family with the surname but no connection with a bridge. Well, perhaps instead of being the name of a bridge, perhaps it was "Postlewaite's bridge" in the sense of being a bridge built by or being repaired by a Postlewaite? > > I am doing research for my daughter-in-law and one of her ancestors left > a Bible with great documentation and claims that one of the men died of > pneumonia while working on the Postlewaite Bridge in > Ireland...supposedly is buried there.

I though this chap was an Amercian by the name of Kellam? What would he have been doing in Ireland (other than working on a bridge of course). Seems strange to me...
