SNIPPET: In the July-Aug 2007 issue of Dublin's "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine, readers shared their thoughts on the Emerald Isle: Margaret Ryan DEUTSCH, Downers Grove, IL: "We were heading back to the Great Southern Hotel next to Shannon Airport on a bright summer's day in May, after we had toured the land of my father from Dublin to Co. Wicklow, literally visiting everywhere we could in our short two-week visit. Our rented hatchback car was packed with souvenirs and gifts from our Irish relatives. My daughter, Kathy COSTELLO, was our driver and she decided to take a short cut along a small country road. It was a bit narrow and bumpy; however, we were moving along well. At least that was until another driver behind decided to overtake us. Kathy had to move over on the road to prevent an accident, as the over-anxious driver rushed by. We heard a loud noise, the hatchback popped open and out tumbled several of our treasured packages. Apparently the lock had broken as we hit a pothole in the road while trying to avoid an accident. Kathy stopped the car and walked back to pick up our packages. One bag contained a gift of a bottle of Irish whiskey. My daughter gingerly picked up the bag and the broken bottle of whiskey dripped all over her hands and jacket. Kathy, who never drank anything stronger than a glass of wine at dinner now reeked of whiskey! We had to use the belt from my slacks to secure the hatchback. It was with great joy that we arrived at our hotel and were able to shower and freshen up. We spent a delightful evening before we headed home to the States. We had a lovely dinner and afterwards went into the bar where a wonderful group of singers and musicians delighted all to the strains of 'Danny Boy' and many other well-known melodies. We've laughed many times since about this incident on the road to the airport - although it didn't feel funny at the time. However, it left us with one more great memory while visiting the land of my ancestors." The editor remarked - "What a lucky escape for you both - country roads are for careful drivers, not speeding ones. We hope your experience won't put you off returning to Ireland again." Ed and Mary FLAHERTY, Lake Forest, CA: ... "Ireland's appeal for us is as the birthplace of our ancestors, its churches, castles, monasteries, museums, and the like, in the beautiful timeless countryside, and in its people. The elaborate, high-priced spas, restaurants, and hotels are in our 'nice but not necessary' category. One doesn't have to cross the Atlantic to visit them. Certainly they abound here in southern California ..." Heather WILLIS, Aiken, SC: "... Let me share a dream that began almost 20 years ago. When I was 11 or 12, I saw a movie that was set in Ireland, and a seed was planted in my heart ... I fell in love with the beautiful landscapes, and the wonderful accents of the people ... Well, the years came and went and I always told friends 'someday, I am going to Ireland, even if I have to swim,' while honestly thinking it would never happen. A girl from small town Texas could never afford such a dream. I married a South Carolina man, Brad, shared with him my dream and he said 'on our tenth wedding anniversary I will make your dream come true.' ... We set up a small savings account, put loose change in a jar, collected books about Ireland, etc., subscribed to your wonderful magazine, framed many of your photos. Well, our tenth wedding anniversary came and my preacher husband was called to the mission field in India ... When he returned, he said, 'Let's buy tickets to Ireland, I am keeping my promise to you' ... Soon now I will take my own photographs of Ireland as I walk through your beautiful land. Thanks for such a great magazine. It has shown us so many places we want to see and helped us in planning our trip, and through you, we found a wonderful travel company - 1-2 Travel (now myguideireland.com)." For her letter, the editor sent Heather a copy of "The Irish Landscape - a scenery to celebrate," by Charles Hepworth HOLLAND.

where is the best place to purchase birth certificates for 1864? -----Original Message----- From: irelandgenweb-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irelandgenweb-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jean R. Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 8:00 PM To: IrelandGenWeb-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Irish Genealogy] Smallpox, 1791 - Reverend Thomas POLLOCK,Kilwinning in Ayrshire, Scotland SNIPPET: Listers with backgrounds that lead back to Scotland might be interested in the following account by The Reverend Thomas POLLOCK, found in "Scotland, The Autobiography," Rosemary GORING (2008). POLLOCK was appalled at what he saw as primitive behaviour among his parishioners in Kilwinning in Ayrshire, who refused to protect their children from smallpox by inoculation ... Small Pox - This disease ... rages here, at times, with the utmost violence, and is often extremely fatal. In the summer and autumn of 1791, upwards of 90 children had the natural small pox, and more than one half of them died. The chin-cough and natural small pox not unfrequently prevail at the same time. When this happens, as was the case at the above period, the ravages commited by this last disease are truly dreadful The coincidence of these diseases might, in a great measure, be prevented by inoculation. But though in this, and in every other respect, inoculation is attended with the happiest consequences, it is only practised here in two or three families. >From ignorance, and the most superstitious prejudices, the parents, regardless, or insensible of consequences, instead of inoculating their children, crowd into those houses in which the disease is of the most malignant nature, and at a time when it is the most infectious. The very worst kind of this dangerous and loathsome disease is, in this manner, communicated and spread, and thousands of valuable lives are lost to the community. This impious presumption, these illiberal and groundless prejudices, are not peculiar to this parish; in every other country parish in Scotland, the great bulk of the people think and act pretty much in the same way. It is well known, at least to the clergy, that every argument in support of inoculation, however conclusive or self-evident, makes no impression upon their minds. To make a law, obliging all persons, without distinction, to inoculate their children, would be thought inconsistent with the liberty of British subjects, and even with the common principles of humanity. But as the prosperity, nay the very existence of every country, is inseparably connected with the number of its inhabitants, something certainly ought to be attempted, to render, if possible, inoculation in Scotland more general than it is at present.

----- Original Message ----- From: Glen To: IrelandGenWeb-L-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 3:12 PM Subject: Bamford I am looking for any info I can find about Francis Newham Bamford. He was the Station Master for the London & Northwestern Railway in Greennore, Co. Louth. He moved there from Wales sometime around 1910, or earlier, and emigrated to Canada in 1914. I was wondering if there is census info for 1911. I would really appreciate any information I could get. Thanks Glen

Hi Glen - Try contacting the County Louth Library, Dundalk website to see if they can access the 1911 Louth Census for you and also check their city/county directories for your Bamford name. May even be familiar with some resources or have e-mail addresses for contacts interested in the railway lines. The National Archives (Dublin) website has begun putting the 1911 Census on line, starting with Dublin. The records for 1911 are being digitised first, then those for 1901. Kerry, Antrim and Down will be available online in October 2008. Publication of the other counties will follow, in the order listed below, between then and mid-2009. More precise timescales will be posted when available. BTW - Do you know if he had any BAMFORD family in Dublin? There are 23 entries for 1911 Census, and three for the NEWHAM surname. a.. Donegal b.. Cork c.. Wexford d.. Galway e.. King's County (Offaly) f.. Limerick g.. Mayo h.. Waterford i.. Armagh j.. Carlow k.. Cavan l.. Clare m.. Fermanagh n.. Kildare o.. Kilkenny p.. Leitrim q.. Londonderry (Derry) r.. Longford s.. Louth t.. Meath u.. Monaghan v.. Queen's County (Laois) w.. Roscommon x.. Sligo y.. Tipperary z.. Tyrone aa.. Westmeath ab.. Wicklow Per John Grenham's "Tracing Your Irish Ancestors," Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD (1992) lists Railway Workers Resources: (1) "Records of the Irish Transport Genealogical Museum," Joseph LECKY. (2) 1870-1950s - Irish Transport Genealogical Archives, Irish Railway Record Society, Heuston Station, Dublin; open on Tuesday 8-10 p.m., by appointment with an archivist. On checking the IRRS website a few months ago for another lister, I couldn't find an e-mail address for inquiries. Perhaps you could send a letter of inquiry to archivist with a couple prepaid IRC (International Reply Coupons) enclosed with your self-addressed envelope. (3) Perhaps a rail history affectionato at the Belfast and Co. Down Miniature Railway Society website can give you direction. They seem to have a contact e-mail address. I notice that they have links to other websites to include: Ulster Folk and Transport Museum Railway Preservation Society of Ireland Downpatrick Railway Society Miniature and Narrow Gauge Railways in Britain www.carrickmags.co.uk Kingdom of Down Northern Ireland Tourist Board (Other: The Isle of Wight Steam Railway website is up-to-date and with quite lovely steam engine photographs and news and contact person). You might try the RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) website, see if someone in Dublin would be kind enough to check for you for little or nothing. Check and see if the National Library of Ireland Dublin website has any railroad records and/or can put you in touch with a professional researcher. I'd be interested to know if you get a breakthrough. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for trains The NIAH website (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage) has photos of buildings, some referencing the Co. Louth railway. You might enjoy reading the following book: "Signalman's Memories - Railway Life in Rural Ireland" by Albert MAHER., pub. Thurles Rail 150 Committee, Monadreen, Thurles, Co. Tipperary, (ISBN 0-9533654-0-9), p/b. Perhaps you can still locate a copy of this circa 1999 publication. Might mention Co. Louth, but should be enjoyable reading nonetheless. Per review at that time -- "William was signalman at Goold's Cross, son Albert served the Irish railways for 40 years beginning as Lad Porter at Dundrum station. Albert's son, Bill, is a loco driver out of Limerick station. We begin at Kingsbridge (now Heuston Station), that splendid Renaissance palace on the Dublin quays and go on to various crashes and other excitement like the arrest in Thurles of local patriot William Smith O'BRIEN and the subsequent wild-west style hijacking of the Dublin-bound train at pistol point by the constabulary. Templemore, Thurles, itself, Roscrea, Birr, Ballybrophy, Clonmel, Goold's Cross, Dundrum, Limerick and royal Cashel - all have a place in the story."

SNIPPET: Mitchelstown is believed to have been originally established and centred around a part of the town known as Brí Gobhann (anglicised Brigown) by Saint Fanahan in or around the 8th century. The town was subsequently re-designed and re-built by the KINGSTON family and today retains the basic layout constructed by them including several interesting stone buildings designed in a late Georgian style of architecture. The layout established by the EARL of KINGSTON between 1775 and 1820 was one of the earliest planned town lay-outs in Ireland. Mitchelstown Castle itself modelled after 1798 Windsor. Unfortunately during the Irish Civil War in 1922 the castle was vandalised and burnt to the ground ostensibly to prevent it from being used by the Irish Government and its Irish Free State Army. In 1887, Irish Land League campaigners, including local man John MANDEVILLE, helped organise a rent strike at the estate of LADY KINGSTON near Mitchelstown. On September 9, three estate tenants were shot dead and others wounded, by police at the town's courthouse where MP William O'BRIEN had been brought for trial for inciting non-payment of rent; this event became known as the Mitchelstown Massacre and is at least partly commemorated by a memorial to MANDEVILLE unveiled in 1906 by O'BRIEN himself. In years to come the phrase "Remember Mitchelstown" was subsequently much bandied about in the British House of Commons when Irish affairs were under discussion. Up to the 1980s, Mitchelstown, Cork was the headquarters for Mitchelstown Co-Operative Creameries, Ireland's then number one dairy processing business. This farmers "Co-Op" was founded in 1919 under the inspirational leadership of local land-owner Chairman Con O'BRIEN of Killickane, Mitchelstown. He was Chairman of the "Co-Op" for almost 50 years and then became Honorary Life President until his death in 1968. Between 1930 and 1985, a combination of strong farmer leadership, talented management, product innovation and a diligent workforce enabled Mitchelstown Co-Op Creameries to become the largest and most important Dairy Processing business in the island of Ireland. It became famous nationally for its processed cheese brands but was better known in overseas dairy industry circles for the high quality and large variety of its natural cheeses which were extensively exported around Europe and for which it earned many international prizes. In later years the site of Mitchelstown Castle was used to house an expansion of processing activities into milk powder, caseinand chocolate crumb production ... - Excerpts, Wikipedia on-line encyclopedia. FYI - Per the all-Ireland IreAtlas townland (c. 1850s) search engine at the Leitrim-Roscommon website - the Mitchelstown placename is found in Cos. Cork, Dublin, Westmeath, Louth, Meath and Limerick. Mitchelstown Town (likely the best known) is in County Cork in the Civil Parish of Brigown. Mitchelstown townland in County Cork (encompassing a wider area than just Mitchelstown town) contains the Civil Parishes of Brigown, as well as Marshalstown (PLU Ardee), and Clontead (PLU Kinsale). Please check my summary for accuracy. Jean

THE FAIR HILLS OF IRELAND A plenteous place is Ireland for hospitable cheer, Uileacan dubh O! Where the wholesome fruit is bursting from the yellow barley ear; Uileacan dubh O! There is honey in the trees where her misty vales expand, And her forest paths, in summer, are by falling waters fanned, There is dew at high noontide there, and springs i' the yellow sand On the fair hills of holy Ireland. Curled he is and ringleted, and plaited to the knee, Uileacan dubh O! Each captain who comes sailing across the Irish sea; Uileacan dubh O! And I will make my journey, if life and health but stand, Unto that pleasant country, that fresh and fragrant strand, And leave your boasted braveries, your wealth and high command, For the fair hills of holy Ireland. Large and profitable are the stacks upon the ground, Uileacan dubh O! The butter and the cream do wondrously abound, Uileacan dubh O! The cresses on the water and the sorrels are at hand, And the cuckoo's calling daily his note of music bland, And the bold thrush sings so bravely his song i' the forests grand, On the fair hills of holy Ireland. -- Anon., 18th c., translated by Samuel Ferguson. Uileacan dubh O! (O sad lament). Attributed to an Irish student in one of the French Colleges.

Hi Mary, Yes I did recieve it.. I am glad i was able to find them for you in 1871. I did see that particular James you are describing below.. it could be him... certainly worth a consideration. the birth date/place fits, he is marked as married , he is marked as imbicile also, maybe something happened? I am not sure if there are records for this. Maybe its not him. but i do not see any other James Mahoney any spelling in Wales with this birthdate range, so it may well be him at the union workhouse. I did see a; 271 Nelson terr. Swansea, Glamorgan. 1881 Margaret Mahoney b. Clanakilty IR age 53 marr occ. china and glass dealer. dau> Ellen Britton marr age 22 b.

It is my pleasure to announce that the complete 1864 Ireland Birth Index is now online at the Ireland GenWeb website at: http://www.irelandgenweb.com/ We had much help with this project which enabled us to complete it in a record four months. Here are the good people who took time out of their busy lives to help others by transcribing pages: Rosemary Cairns, Bill Roberge, Jan MacMillan, Joy Burgos, Bob McConihe, Ronnie Lorentz, Ellen Ahrens, Eileen Redman, Diane Culhane, Kathy Snowberger, Jim Cox, Jim Buckley, Patricia McGill, Colleen McNamara, Rita Meistrel, Bill King, Margaret Minoughan, Eileen Sullivan, James Sullivan, MaryPat Carey, Candi Zizek, Maggie Lambert, Mary Devlin, Kelly Anne Binari, Judie Mason, Mary Mizzi, Dan Doherty, Nora Fitzgerald and David Collins. The volunteers came from all over the world, many from Australia and Canada, some from England, one from Croatia and many for the USA. It was great talking to all of you. Other new updates on the site include the Surname Registries and DataBank plus new Special Projects. Wanted: We need coordinators for the following counties: Carlow, Longford, Laois, Meath, Westmeath and Waterford. If you have knowledge of how to make webpages plus an interest in the county, contact me off list. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Thankyou K Iovanna for your email. Did you get my email thanking you for the Census? I am sure this is my family although Julias birth is out by about 1-2 years but that is acceptable seeing they could neither read nor write in those days. Yes, I have all the census' and all the information on the Hooley side of the family and as I mentioned in my last email, I also have the document showing Margarets burial in the same plot as Julia...obviously, Margaret was her mother and the age matches the census. I have been looking for James and the family in Cardiff 1881 Census and have come across a James as under: James Mahony[ the "e" is missing] age 53 [44 in 1871 census] married Birth place...Ireland Place............Cardiff Union Workhouse. Inmate. Agricultural Labourer St Johns. Cardiff Glamorgan Wales. Will find out more about this place and why was he an inmate? Wondering where Margaret and the children were as I cannot find them. Julia was married in 1888 and died in 1903 and will start looking for her siblings later on...concentrating on other family ancestors first. The Hooley family were Ellen,b.1889; James,b and d. 1891 Thomas, b.1894 [my father] Timothy, b.1899 Elizabeth Catherine, b.1901d. 1901. I have found Ellens marriage and death and am now looking for Timothy and checking out some info I have received of his death. Will also try to go backwards and find where James was born in Ireland..a big task finding people in Ireland. I have now found my g/grandparents on the mahoney side and one g/g/grandparent on the Hooley side so lots of searching todo. Again thankyou for your interest and help.

SNIPPET: In the July-Aug 1999 issue of Dublin's "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine, readers shared their thoughts on the Emerald Isle: Jean Shannon COONEY, Drexel Hill, PA: "My husband and I recently returned from a second trip to Ireland. Upon our return, everyone asked us, "Is it as green as they say?" Truly it is, but it's the other colours that stay in our minds. The brilliant turquoise of the sea off Mizen Head; black-faced sheep climbing grey rocks in Connemara; clumps of pink wild flowers along the roads of Adare; yellow shop fronts in Cahir; hundreds of muted lavender and blue rocks strewn on the beach at Waterville; a red boat rocking on Lake Corrib - around each bend in the road we encountered a gorgeous, multi-hued vista. Ireland is indeed an extraordinarily beautiful land. With each issue of IOTW, we revisit your colourful country. The articles give us ideas for future trips and the photographs bring back fond memories of our past ones. (For her letter, the editor sent her a copy of "Irish Blessings" by Ashley SHANNON). Jim GOLDFRANK, Herndon, VA: "Your letter column is mostly from folk of Irish descent. You have other fans, like me, who are not Irish. My ancestral home is Bavaria, but I only associate that with the Holocaust. Ireland is the home of my heart. I have been there five times including three trips to the 'Willie Clancy Summer School.' I love Ireland's beauty, her people and her music. I feel that love of saoirse (freedom) is something that Irish culture and my Jewish culture has in common. Each IOTW, which is well written and illustrated, is like a short trip to where my heart is." Michael J. EGAN, Louisville, KY: "I have been reading your fine magazine for many years thanks to Irish-American friends of ours. It was given to me for Christmas and I liked it so much, that they renew my subscription each year. My wife and I have only been to Ireland once, but hope to return next year. I recently received my Irish passport. All Americans with at least one Irish-born parent are dual citizens, but I wanted written proof. The best proof is my Irish passport, which is kept with my father's. I would like your readers' help. My Uncle Dennis EGAN, immigrated to New York, but may have moved to Boston, in the 1920s. His parents, from County Galway, were James EGAN and Mary Kelleher EGAN ..." Julia KENDER, Greenbelt, MD: "Thank you for writing the article about YEATS' houses in the Jan-Feb 1999 issue. It's not just that it brings back memories of my trip to Ireland in 1997, when I toured Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, but YEATS himself is my absolute favourite and I received the issue the day before my birthday. Indeed, no other gift could have pleased me more." Edward S. DAVIS, Wilton, CT: "Just received my first copy of IOTW and have read it avidly. I have been back to Ireland five times and have researched my Grandfather's roots in Co. Sligo in my own way. He arrived in the United States as an orphan in 1884 and by 1920 had his own business as a glazier in Port Chester, NY, where I was born. The scope of your publication is wonderful. My only son is a cycling enthusiast, so I sent 'The Joys of Cycling with Beckett' article to him in Chicago. I hope to return several more times to Sligo and Mayo."

Yes, this does look like her. Hopefully this big brick wall has fallen down at last! In a report of her burial,she is shown as 34 years old making her birth 1869 but that is close to 1871. And James seems to match with her Fathers name also....must check on Margaret as I have also found that she is buried in the same plot as Julia. If this is her....will have my Grandmother and my Great Grandparents and all their family. Wonderful news! Many many thanks for your kindness in looking this up as I have never found her in Wales. Eagerly waiting your email with the Census.
