should share a funny story with everyone really - while looking at the one and only photograph of my parents wedding with my ma one day - i asked her who the best man was - he was a mr nolan (same surname as my father) so i asked if he was related to us and she said no - he was the only one they knew who owned a suit! years later while looking through parish records i noticed the same man turned up as best man for a lot of other couples and also as sponsor at a lot of baptisms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there was no end to the opportunities if you owned a suit in ireland! ----- Original Message ----- From: lisakavanagh05@eircom.net To: irl-carlow@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 9 July, 2010 18:02:53 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] Nolans & Kinsellas Hi My GG Grandmother was Mary Kinsella & at the time of her marriage in 1847 to my GG Grandfather John Kavanagh she was listed as living in Ballinrush, Myshall.

Good story Anna, I have heard of that before and indeed it might help explain why we see so much repetition of some names of people acting as Sponsors for Weddings and Baptisms ...! ( Sue Clement take note )..... plus the Witnesses / Sponsors usually got a good meal and a few drinks on the day for free ! ......

I had some Nolans in Ballinrush. Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: lisakavanagh05@eircom.net To: irl-carlow@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, July 9, 2010 12:02:53 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] Nolans  & Kinsellas Hi My GG Grandmother was Mary Kinsella & at the time of her marriage in 1847 to my GG Grandfather John Kavanagh she was listed as living in Ballinrush, Myshall. Although she was born in 1826/7 I cannot find her in the Myshall Baptisms. There seems to be a strong connection to Nolans as a number of them are listed on Johns & Marys' childrens baptisms as sponsors, although I have no idea how. There were also other Kinsellas mentioned n the baptisms : Denis Kinsella, Anne Kinsella & Thomas Kinsella Thanks Lisa
