Hello to the list, Could someone please tell me what the BIVR is please. I am trying to research John Lindsay born in County Down 1829. I don't know his parents names as of yet and that is what I am trying to find. I believe that he may have been born in Downpatrick as that is the only John Lindsay that I find on the IGI born in 1829. The census for Scotland says he was from Groomsport but I believe that may have been where he left Ireland for Scotland from rather than where he was born. Thank you in advance Gai

Searching for William CONNORS b. Athlone 1851 at Norfolk Regt quarters. Father Timothy. My grandmother GERTRUDE CONNORS b. Limerick 1882 probably when Norfolk Regt "camped" there. I've had some limited help from the Norfolk Regiment Museum but wondered if SKP could put me on to sources in Ireland about individuals or the Norfolk Regiment and what their role in Ireland was. Also my wife's gg grandfather Thomas DRISCOLL b. Cork c. 1800-1810 then came to Wales where he married and setlled down to a life as soldier, shoemaker and publican. Any clues greatly appreciated. Regards, Bill.

Tom LaPorte on the Y-IRL List has given me permission to forward the following email for all those having problems with this site. After talking to Terry Eakin again I would say they have put it up far too soon with lots of search problems still to be ironed out. Terry is one of the trial people reporting back to them on the difficulties. But it's a work in progress and can only get better.

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, May 15, 1850 ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION SATURDAY. Dr. Longfield and Mr. Hargrave took their seats on the bench shortly after 12 o'clock. In the matter of the estate of John Balfe. In this case an absolute order had been made for the sale of certain lands in the county Roscommon on the petition of Mr. and Mrs. Connell, to raise the sum of 2,000l. claimed by Mr. Connell under her father's will, and under a power contained in a marriage settlement. Mr. Lloyd now came in on the part of two judgment creditors, to move that the order be rescinded. He agreed that according to the will of Mrs. Connell's father, in case she married without the consent of the trustees appointed, she was not entitled to the 2,000l., but only to a life interest in it; and she had married without them and as the limitation to the children was void, he submitted that she had no power to raise the 2,000l. or to sell the estate in question for the surplus. The object of his clients was to prevent a sale for the present, as they thought it would be more advantageous for the creditors to do so; and they were willing to pay the arrears of interest due to the petitioners. Messrs. Rollestone, Q.C., and Lawless opposed the motion on the part of the petitioners, and submitted at as the trustees had not come forward to disclaim the proceedings, it should be taken for granted that they concurred in it; at all events whether they concurred or not the petitioners had a right to have the estate sold to satisfy their claim. The court refused the motion with costs. Several other motions on the list were postponed till next court day. In the matter of the Estate of Denis Bowes Daly, of Amien-street, in the city of Dublin, Esq. The property offered for sale in this matter consisted of the fee and inheritance of and in all that and those, the lands of Kilcooley and Poliny, situate in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway, consisting by survey, 217a 1r 1p of pasture, Irish plantation measure, equal to 351a 0r 10p statute measure; and 31s 2r 27p of bog, equal to 51s 1r 8p statute measure-yearly rent, £382 10s 5d; rent charge £10 1s. The lands of Kilcooley and Poliny are fee simple, and are subject to a lease for three lives still in being, made to Burton Persse, who now holds the rent of £380 10s 5d a year, together with the tithe rent charges, and a lease for three lives (two of whom are now living) made to Patrick Craughwell, at the rent of £2 yearly. The lands will be subject to an annuity of £100 for the life of Mrs. Hendria Daly, now aged about sixty-two years; to 18s 61/2d quit rent, and their proportion of poor rates. The lands are at present under grass, and their peculiar quality for fattening and finishing off sheep is too well known in the county to require any commendations. The following were the biddings: - Mr. Robert Power 4090l.; Sir Patrick Nolan 4100; Mr. Power 4500l.; Mr. B.R. Persse 5000l.; Mr. Nolan 5100l.; Mr. Frederick Sutton 5200l.; Mr. Persse 5700l.; Mr. Power 6000l.; Mr. Persse 6100l.; Mr. John Graham 6200l.; Mr. Persse 6300l.; Mr. Sutton 6400l.; Mr. Persse 6500l.; Mrs. Nolan 6550l.; Mr. Persse 6600l.; Mr. Sutton 6650l.; Mr. Persse 6700l.; Mr. Sutton 6750l.; Mr. Persse 6800l.; Mr. Nolan 6850l.; Mr. Persse 6900l.; Mr. Nolan 7000l.; Mr. Sutton 7050l.; Mr. Nolan 7100l.; Mr. Sutton 7150l.; Mr. Nolan 7200l.; Mr. Sutton 7250l.; Mr. Nolan 7300l.; Mr. Power 7350l.; Mr. Nolan 7400l.; Mr. Sutton 7450l.

You were lucky Eileen. Most people couldn't even get in to it, including myself. I think the owners have lots and lots of research to do before they have a viable site they can charge people for. Have emailed Terry and will let you know his reply. I sent this info to several Irish Lists and all Hell has broken loose I assure you. Good way for them to test it out though! <G> Cheers Beryl Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "eileen mcdonald-sayer" <andros028@blueyonder.co.uk> To: <IRELAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 11:45 PM Subject: Re: [IRELAND] Fw: Irish Newspapers on line & free at present for early users > HELLO TERRY, Thankyou for the information on the newspaper archives.

Nancy~ You will need to know the name of the order of nuns your ancester belonged. Also, the time line is quite important too. Religious orders over the centuries, have changed names, joined other orders and had a new name, and the main mother house may not have been in Rome but elsewhere. Thus, if you are seeking archival records if they would exist, would most likely be at the main mother house which exists today.

The newspaper archives site is in the early stages of being set up online. So I wouldn't expect it to 100% available in the near future.

The homepage when it is back up will always be http://www.irishnewspaperarchives.com/ The searchpage had been http://www.irishnewspaperarchives.com/advanced.aspx I suggest you bookmark those pages and try occasionally to see when they manage to get the site back up again. I had been getting results and views but the results were ambiguous and the viewer/pages difficult to navigate and save. It looks like it could be a good resource depending on the eventual costs for viewing! I had find latterly that right clicking on the image gave a useful menu for zooming, printing etc. Slan Henry -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Would love to try this site but the only page to come up is the Title Page. Any hints as to how to proceed?

I'm trying to find an Irish ancestor from eastern Co Limerick who was a religious sister (or nun) and lived in Rome. Does anyone who of any way to find a list of Irish religious women in Rome? Thanks! Nancy

If any one has access to the 1901 or 1911 census, I would appreciate a look up. I am looking for the Somers family in Cruttenclogh ( also spelled Croughtenclogh and many variations) in Co. Kilkenny. There may be several families all living in the same townsland. Information would be greatfully received. Dan Jordan New York 1901 and 1911 Census look up of Somers in Croughtenclogh Kilkenny

I have tried everyday to get into the irishnewspaper web site but, nothing. The only thing that ever comes up is just the tile and nothing else. There isn't any where to click into either and I have even waited 15 minutes hoping something might finally come up, but nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

Cathy, Although I dont have a connection to Connaught, Thanks anyhow for posting the newspaper articles. One thing which confuses me are the birth notices. In the vast majority of cases, the notice will state, wife of whoever etc but once in a blue moon, I have noticed, Lady of whoever etc. Does this use of the word Lady, indicate they were not married?
