Hi Judy, Thank you for taking the time to look. Just to understand correctly the cd you have does or does not have information recorded for County Clare that early? I realise she is not listed. My family rumor has her name as Cathline Donlan, but her daughter's marriage certificate/marriage records in Indiana (Catholic Church records) has the Mother's name as Mary Donelan. Mary died and her husband remarried to a Cathline so thats probably where the family got the different first name. Where would you suggest I look next? Thank you again for your time and trouble Best Regards Nelda ----Original Message Follows---- From: Judysnewname1@aol.com Nelda, I lanhave a British Vital records index cd.

Did you happen to see any thing for Francis FLOOD. he also lived in Manchester until he died and only stated born Ireland on the various census. How much easier would it have been if they had put the towns were they were born, ah well Cheers Sandy NSW Australia

Dear Listers Judy and a couple of others have done an amazing job of looking up records on these CD's. Congrat's, and to help out, I will also do lookups for those that cannot obtain a copy of this index. However, to keep the list a bit less cluttered, I would ask inquirers to do the following; 1. Send your request off-list, ie directly to my email address 2. Ask about 1 person only 3. Include as much information about this person as possible ie dates, first names, locations etc 4. Be patient! I work an average 50 hour week on shift work, so if I take a week to answer you do not despair! I am probably just sleeping. PS put surnames in capitals PPS I also have an American index and can cross reference your ancestor if there is a connection PPPS I specialise in West Limerick and have some reference books if your ancestor is from the area David Mangan Manus haec inimica tyrannis

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Monday, September 20, 1824 HOW TO CATCH AND HOW TO CURE A COLD At this time of the year colds are easily caught, and difficult to cure. The following will be found effectual: - After a quick walk in the evening, sit in the draft to cool; the consequence will be a severe cold, attended with cough; the next day hoarseness, short breath, and much expectoration; in the evening, at seven, go to a well-frequented tavern, and drink three or four glasses of strong punch, or stiff rum and water; stay till eleven, walk home cosey, and go to bed; you need not get up the next day, but send for the apothecary, the following day for the physician, and the third day your friends will send for the undertaker. You will never feel the effects of an autumnal cold afterwards. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, March 27, 1850 NENAGH ASSIZES - Thursday Trial of Dr. Langley for the murder of his Wife. The Right Hon. Judge Ball took his seat on the bench in the Crown Court, at ten o'clock. A few minutes after the prisoner, Dr. Langley, came into the dock, and advancing to the front bowed to his Lordship. He was dressed in black, his long black hair was parted on his forehead, and fell down over his shoulders. The moustaches which he wore last assizes were shaved off on the present occasion. - There was nothing in his appearance that could betray the forty days' fast, which he averred he had undergone. Mr. Scott, for the Crown, consented to quash one indictment, and entered a nolle prosequi on that preferred at last assizes. The Clerk of the Crown then proceeded to call over the panel and the following are the names of the jury sworn, 26 of the panel having been previously set aside or challenged - John Bennett, John Crawford, Samuel Cooke, James Willington, Solomon B. Cambie, John Hemsworth, John Phillips, Ralph Smith, Thomas Dolan, Richard Short, Richard Nash, Dudley Byrne. The jury having been sworn, the prisoner was given in charge for that he before and on the 5th December, in the year 1848, not having the fear of God before his eyes, and contriving and intending wilfully and feloniously on his malice prepense to kill and murder Eleanor Langley, his wife, on the 5th December, 1848, or on the 1st May 1849, did so kill and murder her, by confining here against her will in a certain cold, unwholesome, and unhealthy lodging, and by declining to give her sufficient medicine and proper food for the support of her body. Another count stated that death was caused by his providing her with food injurious to her body and health. Clerk of the Crown - How say you, Charles Langley, guilty or not guilty? Prisoner (in a loud voice) - Not Guilty. Mr. Scott, Q.C., then addressed the court and jury for the prosecution. The following witnesses were examined for the prosecution, in support of the indictment and counsel's statement: - Eliza Rohan, who lived in Dr. Langley's house as servant; Mary Cleary, Gabriel Prior, clerk to Dr. Langley; Margaret Meara, landlady of the house in which Mr. Langley lodged; Thomas Pound, the servant whose evidence on the inquest created such horror when he said he was instigated to improper intimacy with Mrs. Langley while on her sick bed; Dr. Francis Cahalen, James M'Grath, groom to Dr. Langley, Dr. O'Neill Quin, Dr. Edward Kitson, who attended the post mortem examination on the body of Eleanor Langley, and found it in a state of great emaciation and attenuation, and remembered Mrs. Langley to come to his house on several occasions for something to eat; Dr. Finucane, Dr. Frith, Rev. Benjamin F. Bewley, and Mary Clanchy. This witness's evidence showed the case for the prosecution. FRIDAY. Judge Ball entered court this morning at 9 o'clock. The court was densely crowded. Mr. Martley, Q.C., proceeded in an able address to speak to the defense for the prisoner. THE RESULT. - The jury, at 9 o'clock at night, returned a verdict of "Not Guilty."

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Thursday, September 16, 1824 PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE ENNIS, SEPT. 13 - Tuesday, as the Right Hon. John Ormsby Vandeleur and Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, Bart. were riding toward Kilrush, from Kilmore, the seat of Poole Hickman, Esq. the horse of the former becoming restive, threw him on his side, which was bruised severely; he also received a slight contusion on the forehead. His carriage was sent for immediately, and he was removed to his mansion, at Kilrush, when medical assistance was sent for - we are happy to learn, that no dangerous consequences are apprehended. Thursday, a poor man dropped apparently dead, in the streets of Kilrush. Will it be believed that want of food was the cause of this melancholy circumstance? The entire amount of Presentments granted at the last Assizes of the County of Clare, is £8916.5s.0d. CORK, SEPT. 11 - On Wednesday night last, some keepers who had distrained crops on the lands of Ballinure, at Blackrock, within the liberties of Cork, where there were two years rent due to the landlord, John T. Rye, Esq. were visited by an armed party, who ordered them into a house, on threat of shooting them if they disobeyed. When inside, the door was locked on them, and all the corn, &c., comprising the chief part of the distress, was removed from the lands. This is another specimen of what the liberals term "returning tranquility." The Arabian pony rode by Lord Combermere, carried Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. Wednesday the Anne and Amelia sailed from Cork with convicts to New South Wales. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

Gilly, What is the name of the CD you are doing lookups on and where did you get it? Would it have something as early as the 1700s to 1750s in Northern Ireland? One of my ancestors was William Stitt who was born about 1735 in Antrim County, Ulster, Ireland and died 1791 in Franklin County PA. One son John Stitt was born 17 July 1752 Downpatrick, Antrim Co., Ulster, Ireland; d. 14 Jan. 1814 Mendon, Ontario County, New York. William and family came to the USA at least by the time his son, my ancestor, William Stitt Jr. was born in 1755 in Chester County PA (died 19 Sept. 1834 Gilpin, Armstrong County, PA. If the CD does not have items this early, can someone suggest where to look? Lee Anne
