Can anyone tell me if there really is a bridge in Ireland named Postlewaite? I have searched and can't find any with that name. I find a family with the surname but no connection with a bridge. 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. A site called Find A Grave even shows his headstone, even though it's difficult to read the inscription. Be back later to check....have a good Sunday:-) Pat

To get entries from Alumni Dublinenses address a request to Trinity College Librarian Manuscripts Department University of Dublin College Street Dublin 2 Ireland I suggest you ask for a xeroxed list of all persons of the surname, or surnames, which you're interested in. I have been able to learn the names of several generations from these pages as the entry will give the father's name, profession and home county. The librarian was generous with explanation of terms used in the entries. You may get several pages of some names. You should a contribution for their trouble ( I sent ten pounds) and copying expenses as well as an International Response Coupon for the postage. This worked in the 1990's. You should also Google Alumni Dublinenses. I found this great site which also tells about other places of higher education: http://humphrysfamilytree.com/sources.html Good luck, Rachel Smith rcallbeck wrote: > If not, how about would I get access to try and look up a name within > this registry? > > I am trying to track down if my (~13 g) grandfather went to school in > Dublin as family history suggests..

I have added two new civil parish tithe applotments to my website. They are Tullycorbet CP in County Monaghan and Tullymellan CP in County Tipperary, South Riding. The new addition of Tullymellan, completes all the tithes for the Iffa & Offa Barony in County Tipperary and I am currently working on an index for it, much like I have for Clanwilliam and Killnamanagh Lower baronies. I should have it online by tomorrow. I do have Google search engines connected to the site also, for easy searching. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Hello all, Does anyone have access to the above reference and able to check if a Mr. Phillips Callbeck shows up in the early 1760's? I am confirm if family tradition proves correct that this person was born and educated in Ireland - he was a lawyer who later (1770's) moved to Canada. he was born c. 1744 and died 1790. Thank you very much in advance.

If not, how about would I get access to try and look up a name within this registry? I am trying to track down if my (~13 g) grandfather went to school in Dublin as family history suggests.. He was a lawyer, born c. 1744.. Family tradition states that he was a Dublin lawyer who later emigrated to Canada - his name was Phillips Callbeck (or sometimes Calbeck). He would have done his schooling in the early to mid 1760's.. Thank you for your help!

>From The Irish Times, 10 September 1883 - Alleged Inhuman Treatment of a Child. At the Cork Police Office last Saturday (before the Mayor, Mr. B. J. Sheehan, and Mr. A. J. M'Dermott). Cornelius Ahern, a farrier, residing at 7 Dean street, was put forward in custody by Constable Ferguson, on the charge of having cruelly ill-treated his daughter, Sarah Ahern, a girl of eleven years, by tying a heavy chain around her leg, and leaving her in that position for days without food. The prisoner had taken to himself a second wife, who, it was stated, constantly beat her stepchild. The constable found the child tied with a chain and padlock, and the leg around which it was fastened was swollen and discolored. Mrs. Good deposed that she lives next door to the prisoner. She heard the child often screaming, and supposed that it was being beaten by the stepmother. Mrs. Ellen O'Sullivan said that she saw the stepmother on several times beating the little child. The prisoner came to the house yesterday, and meeting the child on the stairs, tied it up as described by the constable. She had known the child to eat nothing for two days, and had several times to supply it with food. The child often complained to her of her stepmother's cruelty. The Prisoner said that the girl was rebellious, and was in the habit of going out at night. He asked Canon Hegarty what he should do, and the rev. gentleman, as well as the head-constable in Tuckey street, to whom he also appealed, recommended him, he alleged, to tie up the child so as to keep it at home. The girl said she ran away because of the beating she got. Canon Hegarty came to the house and told her father not to beat her. The Magistrates directed the arrest of the stepmother, and adjourned the case, requesting the police to have the Rev. Canon Hegarty and the head-constable at next hearing. The charge of ill-treating his child, aged 11, preferred against Cornelius Ahern, farrier, on Saturday, was again under investigation on Monday, the stepmother also being in custody. The defence was that the child had been refractory, but the magistrate believed the object of the parents was to get rid of the girl, and sentenced them to six months each at hard labour. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I'm not trying to prove he was in the Garda. But if I had more info on the shooting incident, perhaps the sergeant's first name, that would shed more light on the issue. For those who know about the R.I.C., would it have been likely that they often lived away from their families? I understand that they could not serve in their native counties or that of their wives. To my knowledge, his wife lived most of the life in Labasheeda, CO. Clare. She taught at the National School there.

Well, Chief, so far my search for details on James O'Regan has not been overly productive, but I'm pretty sure what I have found to date is reliable. I know the R.I.C. did not police Dublin since they had the DMP. But he was in the Dublin area and was not living with his wife in Labasheeda, Co. Clare. Did he go on to serve in the Gardai? I don't know, but it seems he was a longtime R.I.C. member, a sergeant when it was disbanded, and quite well educated. So he could have gone back to the Gardai. As for your contention that the census information for 1911 shows that he was a "merchant and farmer," his 1909 marriage certificate also does not state that he was in the R.I.C. I've looked at a lot of 1901 and 1911 census forms and rarely does it show someone being in the R.I.C. That might have been something you did not want to broadcast, especially in Clare, Kerry, or Tipperary. But thanks for your thoughts.

O'Regan is a common enough name, there will have been many in the police. More to the point, the 1911 census entry to which you refer does not seem to support your story, as it specifically says that the James O"Regan listed there was a "merchant and farmer", **not** a policeman. Indeed, the RIC were not responsible for policing Dublin (that was the job of the DMP), so few RIC men would have lived in Dublin. Further, though some members of the RIC went on to serve in the Garda Siochana, that was the exception rather than the rule, as the RIC were of course the enemy in the war of independence.

Yes, Michael. I've looked at the UK Archives. But I have yet to figure them out, My maternal grandfather, from Kilkee, County Clare, was in the Royal Navy and I have his war medals. They are stamped R.N.R. for Royal Naval Reserve, but so far I can't find any record of him in the UK archives. What I was looking for with regard to James (O') Regan was if anyone had access to resources to determine if he was the Sergeant O'Regan that was shot in the leg on 23 November 1930 "while on protection duty at the residence of the Ceann Comhairle (chairman of the Dail), Rathgar, Co.

The more you post the more you convince me that this is a harebrained quest; pursuing an incident from 1930 simply because the Garda involved had the same surname? Crazy! As for 1901 and 1911 census forms rarely showing that men were members of the RIC, that is simply untrue. Perhaps you are unaware that RIC members were recorded by initials only, and hence it is difficult to find them? Regards, The Chief

John, Yes. Cemetery work takes bravery for a multitude of reasons. I didn't know that about Deansgrange. Homeless people slept in the oldest cemetery in the city I live in.

Perhaps someone can help me. My grandfather, who I never met, James Regan (or O'Regan) was in the R.I.C. However, I'm having a difficult time finding anything about him. I think his family was originally from Waterford. He and his wife, the former Nora Ryan, lived in Labasheeda, County Clare. They were married in 1909 in Labasheeda, so he probably joined the R.I.C. sometime around 1900. I have not been able to find where he was stationed, but he did receive an R.I.C. medal for being on duty in Dublin during Edward VII's visit to Dublin in 1903. >From the 1911 census, I believe he was living with his sister, Delia (Regan) Quinn in the Mount Joy area of Dublin. In Tim Pat Coogan's book on the IRA, I found a reference to a Sergeant O'Regan being shot in the leg on 23 November 1930 "while on protection duty at the residence of the Ceann Comhairle (chairman of the Dail), Rathgar, Co. Dublin." Can anyone tell me more about this incident and if the newspapers made mention of Sergeant O'Regan's first name and home county? If he was on duty, I suppose it would have been with the Garda. I have never been told that he was a member of the Garda, but it is possible that he was.
