For the last 20 years I have been trying to locate my HAYDEN/HEADON family in Tipperary. I had been given a copy of and old letter that said they lived at ‘Singleton’, but had found this place did not exist. I recently decided to see if it had been a transcription I had and if the original was still available. I was delighted to finally receive a photocopy and found that the place mentioned was ‘Singinstown’. Again I drew a blank when trying google until another researcher suggested that it was most likely St Johnstown. Names of interest are: Eliza and Rachael HAYDEN who married two RAWLINS brothers Eliza’s son William RAWLINS lived at Knockbritt House and Rachael.s son Edward went to Australia and died there in 1858 Margaret HAYDEN marr ? GABRIEL from Limerick Hannah HAYDEN marr ? NICHOLSON George Thomas HAYDEN the famous doctor in Dublin who died in 1857 If anyone has any connection with these people or has information about researching St Johnstown I would appreciate a reply. Thanks Margaret Parkes

Thanks Margaret Parkes That was a smart guess by your friend, Yes, in Ireland St. John in a name is always pronounced Singin. It's in North Tipperary.. Just google in St. Johnstown Co. Tipperary and you'll get information. I see an Edward Rawlins selling his estate in the Encumbered Estates Court in the 1850's so there should be no trouble in finding out more about the family ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to HAYDEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internal Virus Database is out of date.
