I could really use some help with a couple obituaries or death records in Bangor, County Down, Ulster, Northern Ireland DuBOIS, John H. b: ca 1865 d: after May 1940 DuBOIS, Mary L. (Biggar) d: Sep 1938 or 1939 in Bangor, buried Carnmoney, County Antrim, Ulster, Northern Ireland I found a letter that John H. had written to a man in America I am researching, A.E. Boyce. In the letter he stated that he and A.E. were indeed both grandsons of Hugh DeBOYS, Sr. .. John H. DuBois the son of Hugh DuBois, Jr. and A.E. Boyce the son of James Boyce who emigrated to Muncie, Indiana, USA in 1854-1856. I have been unable to find anything on Hugh DeBOYS, Sr. except on his christening record in Carnmoney for James in 1833. I am hoping I might be able to find information on John H. DuBois and trace it back easier since he stayed in Ireland (except a trip to visit James between 1886-1888). The letter states that some of his older brothers, Richard and William DuBois stayed in New Jersey, USA .. at least for a period of time. Any help would be appreciated.

DEATH OF JAMES NICHOLAS MURPHY, ESQ. ---------- WITH the sincerest regret we learn that this gifted and truly amiable young gentleman, the second son of Nicholas Murphy, Esq., of Clifton, died this day, after a short but painful illness ; we believe rheumatic fever. Highly gifted, with a cultivated mind, and a kindly and gentle disposition, he was such a son as an honoured father might justly be proud of, and whose loss must be looked upon as one of the heaviest afflictions to which the parent's heart can be subjected. Mr. Murphy, like his eldest, and now sorrowing brother, was ever actively though unostentatiously prominent in all works of charity ; and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has lost in him one of its most enthusiastic and devoted members.-- May he rest in peace. Amen. --The Cork Examiner, 15 March 1847 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

For that matter, him being a Lord, I would expect to find mention of it in the Times of London, which is indexed.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Monday, February 23, 1824 PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD (From the Limerick Observer) The following communication has been sent to our Office:- This evening (Tuesday) the body of Captain Durack, an old and respected citizen of Limerick, was brought for interment to St. John's church-yard in this city. Captain Durack having been a Roman Catholic gentleman, his funeral was attended by the Rev. Mr. McCarthy, Roman Catholic Clergyman of Tarbert, where the Captain lately resided. The Catholic Clergyman proceeded to read the prayers for the dead over the grave of the deceased, when he was interrupted by the Sexton who claimed a monopoly of prayers in that place. The Sexton, however, being very drunk, was not attended to, and the ceremony proceeded. At this time it is stated, Mr. Fitzgibbon, the Vicar of St. John's, arrived, and taking the part of the drunken Sexton, again attempted to interrupt the ceremony. But it appears that the sober opposition of the Reverend Gentleman was as unavailing as the drunken zeal of the Sexton. The ceremony continued. In this utter failure of the arm of the spirit, we are told that the pious divine bethought himself of the arm of the flesh, in the shape of a corporal's guard, which happened to be stationed near, and obeyed his summons. The soldiers advanced with fixed bayonets, & at the pas de charge against the supplicating crowd and their Priest, but the crowd stood peaceable and unmoved.- The Priest continued to address his prayers to the Father of the living and the dead. All were uncovered and in the attitude of supplication. The soldiers halted, paused, and with a feeling that does them honor, wheeled about and retreated from the shameful scene. We were told that they were ordered to clear the yard and drive Priest and people, friends and relatives, from the fresh grave of their deceased kinsman. We hope it is not true. The soldiers, with a better sense of what is due to humanity, disobeyed. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/index.html

I understand we are not supposed to discuss virus's on our mailing lists. for all those who have not fallen for the "hoax" yet please read the following before you destroy your operating system. There are now two jdbmgr messagess; a hoax and a real worm. Some miscreant has decided to make a hoax real so you need to be careful what you do. The jdbgmgr.exe program is a real part of the Windows operating system. It should normally not be removed though doing so will not inconvenience most people. The miscreant has created a computer worm called Recory that overwrites the jdbgmgr.exe program with the worm code. In either case, do not run the jdbgmgr.exe program if it is sent to you in an e-mail. In most cases, you do not need to run the real jdbgmgr.exe program. The easiest way to recognize the difference between the hoax and the real version of jdbgmgr.exe is to look at the icon. The program with the bear icon is the good one and the one with the tools icon is the bad one. I would advise others to please go to the site http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HoaxBustersHome.html if you have questions on viruses and keep it off the list and most of all do not tell people to delete thier operating system sorry for the off subject content of this email, but I felt it needed addressing before it go out of hand..

CHARGE OF MURDER.--An inquest was held in Nenagh Court-house on Wednesday, on the body of a boy named Pat Collins, aged about fourteen years, who had been found dead that morning about five o'clock, at the back of the garden wall of Mr. James Acres, residing in Bourne's-lane. From the evidence at the inquest, it appeared that the deceased was in the act of getting over the garden wall, when John Deely, a man in care of the garden, fired at him, and lodged the contents of a gun in his face and head, killing him on the spot. The unfortunate boy presented an awful appearance ; his face was literally shattered to pieces. Neither Mr. Acres nor Deely had a license to carry arms. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner.--Nenagh Guardian. --The Cork Examiner, 27 August 1852 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
