I recently found the marriage of my grt grandparents Henry Jacob to Mary Ann Ellis on the Family Search Site. The date given is 1st May 1867. The marriage place is given as the District of Carlow. Father of Henry Jacob is given as James Jacob and father of Mary Ann Ellis as John Ellis. I have Henry and Mary Ann Jacob on the 1871 Census in Leeds and he states he was born in Carlow Ireland. He is a private in the 5th Dragoon Guards. He retires from the army in 1876 and states that he will be living in Dublin. I did visit the Register Office Dublin, but did not pick up his death. Would love to hear if anyone has any information on this family. Thank you Janet Matthews ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 23:03:32 +0100 From: "Michael Brennan" <mb006r9209@blueyonder.co.uk> Subject: [IRL-CARLOW] Roll Call: JACOB To: <irl-carlow@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <EE7F1AEEB3CB4649A67113A005A4D8A4@MichaelBPC> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="Windows-1252"; reply-type=original This was sent in by Carol Jacobs Norwood Roll Call: JACOB I'm looking for information on the JACOB family of County Carlow. I understand that my great-grandparents, John JACOB (born 1856, immigrated to Pennsylvania in early 1900's) and Elizabeth PIERCE Jacob (born 1860, immigrated to Pennsylvania in early 1900's) were caretakers at Oak Park Estate (Painestown). They had 12 children before they made their way to the United States. I'm interested in finding out about John JACOB's parents. From a marriage certificate I know that his father's name was also JOHN JACOB. I don't know his mother's first name or maiden name. John had a brother, Samuel, who also immigrated to Pennsylvania in the early 1900's. His other brother, George, remained in Ireland and was unmarried.
