Dear Kay, A thousand thanks. I have just joined the Cavan Mailinglist to try and find out, where Hugh Cox came from. I had estimated the year of his marriage to Mary Quigly as 1877 and sent for the wedding Certificate, which I received last week. And then suddenly, the announcement of their marriage turns up on your page with far more information than I got from the Certificate. What a wonderful coincident. The bride, Mary Quigly was an older sister of Victoria Quigly, my husbands grandmother. I have for years tried to confirm their fathers first name and his profession and there it is. On the Certificate it just said "deces", not even giving his name! Also, I am doing research for Hugh Cox's Grandchildren, and Greatgrand children in Australia. Now I might be able to find out more about their Cox relations in Co. Cavan Thank you again so much. With kind regards Inga Jackson, New Zealand. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kay Stanton" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 2:09 AM Subject: [IRL-CAVAN] Cavan Weekly News - January 12, 1877 CAVAN WEEKLY NEWS, Friday, January 12, 1877 BIRTH.

MOFFATT, M.A. A neat tablet has been erected in Drumlane Church to the memory of the late Rector. It bears the following inscription:- Sacred To the memory of the REV. GEORGE B. MOFFATT, M.A.. For 58 years the faithful Pastor Of Drumlane, And Grand Chaplain Of the Orange Institution In this County Since its re-organization in 1845, Died February 27, 1874, In his 80th year. This tablet is erected As a mark of affection and esteem By his Orange brethren In the County. The work has been skillfully (sic) executed by Mr. COATES, Great Brunswick-street, Dublin. DELIBERATE SUICIDE BY DROWNING. - On Sunday forenoon, between ten and eleven o'clock, a man was observed at the water's edge of Ringsend Basin, at Grand Canal quay, in the act of divesting himself of the upper portion of his wearing apparel. This did not attract very much notice, the locality being somewhat out of the way and unfrequented. Presently, however, he was seen to place himself in a half-sitting attitude on the brink of the basin and gradually slide into the water. Before some young men who were in the vicinity could reach the spot he had disappeared. The basin was at once dragged, and after an hour's exertions the body was discovered. Edward O'LOGHLIN, of 53 Townsend-street, recognized it as that of his brother, John O'LOUGHLIN, of No. 1, Shaw's Cottages, aged thirty-four years. No cause has been assigned for the rash act. The body was removed to the Morgue, where an inquest was held on it on Monday, the jury returning a verdict to the effect that the! deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity. KILLED ON THE RAILWAY. On Friday morning when some of the men engaged in the ballast pit at Loughbrown, near Newbridge, and convenient to the branch line which leads to the Curragh Grand Stand, were proceeding to their work, they discovered the dead body of Private Robert WALSH, 75th Regiment, lying beside the rails, with his head severed from the body. Information was quickly conveyed to the stationmaster at Newbridge, who at once put himself in communication with the constabulary, and also with the military authorities at the Curragh. No opinion can be formed, pending the inquest, as to whether his death was accidental or otherwise. The railway authorities are making all possible inquiries, but up to the present it is not known by what train the deceased met his death, but it has been ascertained that it must have been by an up-train to Dublin. DEATH OF COUNTY-INSPECTOR FAWCETT. Armagh, Friday. I deeply regret that I have to announce the death, at the age of sixty-four, of one of the most esteemed gentlemen that we have had amongst us. Robert FAWCETT, Esq., County Inspector of Armagh, has passed away. In private life he was a genial, hospitable, kind, and sincere friend, while in public life he was the perfection of a good officer. He has left after him seven sons; six followed their father's corpse to the grave, the seventh is in Australia. At half-past nine o'clock precisely this morning, - the hour appointed for the funeral - on the coffin being put in the hearse, at his late residence, the Folly Lodge, Armagh, the cortege moved slowly down the carriageway, and proceeded through the city to the railway terminus. Along the line of route the shops were, out of respect to his memory, closed. After the hearse walked his six sons, and after them one hundred rank and file of the Royal Irish, four deep, followed by detachments of the 89th and the 94th Regim! ents, at present lying here. Immediately after these came the staff of the Armagh Light Infantry. The intimate friends of the late captain assembled in large numbers, and followed, walking two by two, and very many of the citizens accompanied the mournful cortege. Following the mourning coach and the deceased's own private carriage were those of the following: - His Grace the Lord Primate, Colonel SIMPSON, Mr. Robert BOYD, J.P.; Mrs. COOTE, Mr. Robert M'CRUM, Rev. Mr. MORGAN, &c. Arrived at the train, the coffin was placed in a carriage by four of the deceased's most trusty and oldest sergeants, when they, with the sub-inspectors and the immediate relatives, left very shortly for Enniskillen, the native place of the Fawcett family. The deceased was highly respected in the county, and his death is universally regretted. Messrs. FRIZELLE, of Armagh, had charge of the funeral arrangements. - Cor. Of Belfast News-Letter. DEPORTATION OF IRISH PAUPERS. A Jersey correspondent writes that the authorities in that island have a rough-and-ready way of getting rid of any parochial burdens, actual or prospective, when the unfortunate creature who has the ill-luck to fall into a destitute condition happens to be in the language of country, un etranger. The term is of rather wide application, inasmsuch as it includes not only "foreigners" in the usual meaning of the term, but even natives of Great Britain - all in fact not born in Jersey. Nor does the exception hold good in every instance. According to the dictum of the Crown officers of the island, "the child follows the fortune of the father," so that a child born of English or Irish parents on Jersey soil is not entitled to the benefit of the national privileges. A couple of cases have just been brought to public notice. One of them was that of Mary KENNEDY, an Irishwoman, who had been sent to prison thirty-five times by the police magistrate for drunkenness and distu! rbing the peace, and was sent at last by him before the Royal Court for heavier punishment than he was able to give her. Her husband, who is a few years her senior, has been for some time an inmate of the workhouse, being unable to labour, and a child ten years old is also in that establishment. The husband and child were brought to the bar in company with Mary Kennedy and in reply to his examiners Kennedy stated that he was a native of Wexford, and had been in Jersey thirty-six years, his wife having been there twenty-four years. The Court decided to get rid of the two, and ease the ratepayers of any further trouble on their account, by ordering their "removal to their place of settlement." As this proceeding, however, would cost the ratepayers a considerable sum of money, the "removal" really means simply transporting them to Southampton, and casting them adrift penniless to find their way to Wexford if they can. The chances of reaching that remote locality are very ! small, and it is very unlikely that they attempt. The probability is that in a short time they will be bundled back to Jersey as their proper place of settlement, to be again flung across the Channel on the chance of finding a settlement somewhere.

Have you looked at the film of the arrival records? For families who came to Sydney I've always had a point of origin specified on the film record. I don't know whether this is always the case but it's worth a try. Also have you looked at: http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/default.asp You will need to register to search, assuming your Wiggins entered via Victoria. On the Assisted Immigration index, there are 118 Wiggins who came into Victoria, including one Jos Wiggins in 1857. There's only one Saml L Wiggins and that was in 1889. However, there are a number of Mr Wiggins and it might be worthwhile following up on those around the time frame you're looking for. Do you know whether he came to Victoria or would it have been elsewhere? There were 22 Mary Fleming who arrived as assisted immigrants and there were 21 unassisted Mary Flemings most of whom you would be able to exclude because of their date of arrival. If you have her death certificate it will give an indication of her age and it might indicate the number of years she was in the colony to help cut down the number of Mary Flemings you are looking at. Snip The only info I have is about a Samuel Wiggins, his son Joshua who emigrated to Aust in about 1859. Married a Mary Fleming, also from Ireland, after coming to Australia. He is my great grandfather. Regards, Joy

Hi, Inga... You are the third person to contact me this week... 1877 must have been a good year! As I did for the others, I'll pull the photocopy again and scan it in for you. That way, you can see the marriage listing in its original form. I am so pleased that people are finding their ancestors!!!

Hi There, I am fairly new to this list. I am finding my Irish research very frustrating and am learning that it is that way for most of you. Not quite sure how this site works. I am researching my ancestors, surname Wiggins. Someone has kindly advised me that there a few Wiggins names on the Griffiths Valuation list. I have printed them off but where do I go from here? I live in Australia so cannot visit any libraries or churches etc. The only info I have is about a Samuel Wiggins, his son Joshua who emigrated to Aust in about 1859. Married a Mary Fleming, also from Ireland, after coming to Australia. He is my great grandfather. Regards, Joy

Dear Jane, We are very interested in the Roe family. We are researching Porter, Harrison ,Byers and other families from County Cavan that immigrated to North America and Australia. We have a specific interest in Ontario and the Northern States. We are having difficulty matching the immigrants to the parent families and the other way around as we have databases for everywhere, but to connect is the problem. We need a marriage record or any record of the Roes in Cavan for Phoebe Jane Roe b. 1817 and Samuel Porter b 1817 Balladouragh Munterconnaught Cavan. They had many children and immigrated to Ontario. The name Rowe was quite often changed to Rowe in Ontario. We have two Porter/ Black marriages one in Ireland John Black to Elizabeth Porter b 1851 Cavan and Samuel Porter to Jane Black in Ontario. Any information on the Roes or Black's in Cavan would be very helpful. Thank You, Jane, Mission B.C. Canada

Greetings from Canada! I am researching the family of George Roe who married Eliza daughter of Major Samuel Noble on April 23, 1829 There is evidence that George and Eliza took up residence at Ballyconnell House, an Estate that the family spent a great deal of time trying to keep the Bailiffs away from the door, but evidence shows they were successful for the most part as the Griffiths shows it to be in Eliza's hands.........and other NP items support this. George and Eliza had the following children Samuel Black Roe born Sept. 11, 1830 was Surgeon Major George Noble Roe born 11 Oct. 1833, died 14 Feb. 1893 and was Captain 3rd Buffs Edward Alexander Henry Roe born 28 June 1839 was also surgeon William Roe born 4 March 1897 The Times, Friday March 3, 1893 reports the death of George Noble Roe on the 24th of February at Ballyconnell House, County Cavan and states that he was a JP, late Captain 3rd Regiment (The Buffs) aged 69 Anyone also researching Roe on this list, would love to hear from you and trade info Good hunting Jane, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

If you know your ancestors' religion, you can probably order parish records on film through your nearest LDS Family History Center and look for baptisms and marriages. If you don't know that, or don't want to do all that work, you can paay the Cavan Heritage Center to look for them. Finally, if you don't have a good Irish genealogy book like Tracing Your Irish Ancestors, you should definitely get one! Diane </HTML>

I would be interested in the NOBLE part of the line.

Thanks again for this wonderful service, Kay. I am asking for help in finding information about my Scots-Irish family from Newry/Dundalk, and Crossmaglen in the first half of the 19 century. The story is this: My grandmother kept the family legends and I was just smart enough to write them down back in the 1960s and 70s. She told of William Donaldson and his wife Harriet, daughter of an officer in the British Army in India. They married in 1831 against her father s wishes, had three children( John, 1833, Ann 1837 and Will jr in 1838), emigrated in New Brunswick Canada in 1839, and homesteaded on the Saint John River where my family still has land. One of their oroginal houses is in a historic village museum. In following up recently with on line genealogy sources, I have been able to discover that not only was the legend accurate, but that Harriet s father was Robert Grenville Wallace, solicitor and lieutenant on the 64th regiment, serving in Calcutta,Seringapatum and Seroor among other places, retiring early on half pay. He published two autobiographical novels that have greatly enriched the family history, and died in Newry in 1851. He is buried in St Patrick's Graveyard, Dundalk. William and Harriet had three more children in New Brunswick, and son Will moved to Boston where he became a successful builder. Eventually, in 1884, his mother Harriet joined him, then moved to Blackstone MA where she died in 1889. They are buried in Mt Hope Cemetery, Mattapan. The town clerk in Blackstone has no further information. I am hungry for any details about the family either in Ireland , NB or Massachusetts. I am guessing that one of her sisters may have married someone who moved to Blackstone and that could be why she went there to end her days, but I have ne evidence. I would love to know their marriage date, and locaion of births of their children in Ireland. Correspondance, legal documents that RGWallace may have signed, mentions in any papers, church records, anything like that. If anyone has ideas, suggestions or information for further research, I would be most grateful. I cannot sleep for this mystery! Beverley Clarkson Halifax, NS

MOFFATT, M.A. A neat tablet has been erected in Drumlane Church to the memory of the late Rector. It bears the following inscription:- Sacred To the memory of the REV. GEORGE B. MOFFATT, M.A.. For 58 years the faithful Pastor Of Drumlane, And Grand Chaplain Of the Orange Institution In this County Since its re-organization in 1845, Died February 27, 1874, In his 80th year. This tablet is erected As a mark of affection and esteem By his Orange brethren In the County. The work has been skillfully (sic) executed by Mr. COATES, Great Brunswick-street, Dublin. DELIBERATE SUICIDE BY DROWNING. - On Sunday forenoon, between ten and eleven o'clock, a man was observed at the water's edge of Ringsend Basin, at Grand Canal quay, in the act of divesting himself of the upper portion of his wearing apparel. This did not attract very much notice, the locality being somewhat out of the way and unfrequented. Presently, however, he was seen to place himself in a half-sitting attitude on the brink of the basin and gradually slide into the water. Before some young men who were in the vicinity could reach the spot he had disappeared. The basin was at once dragged, and after an hour's exertions the body was discovered. Edward O'LOGHLIN, of 53 Townsend-street, recognized it as that of his brother, John O'LOUGHLIN, of No. 1, Shaw's Cottages, aged thirty-four years. No cause has been assigned for the rash act. The body was removed to the Morgue, where an inquest was held on it on Monday, the jury returning a verdict to the effect that the deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity. KILLED ON THE RAILWAY. On Friday morning when some of the men engaged in the ballast pit at Loughbrown, near Newbridge, and convenient to the branch line which leads to the Curragh Grand Stand, were proceeding to their work, they discovered the dead body of Private Robert WALSH, 75th Regiment, lying beside the rails, with his head severed from the body. Information was quickly conveyed to the stationmaster at Newbridge, who at once put himself in communication with the constabulary, and also with the military authorities at the Curragh. No opinion can be formed, pending the inquest, as to whether his death was accidental or otherwise. The railway authorities are making all possible inquiries, but up to the present it is not known by what train the deceased met his death, but it has been ascertained that it must have been by an up-train to Dublin. DEATH OF COUNTY-INSPECTOR FAWCETT. Armagh, Friday. I deeply regret that I have to announce the death, at the age of sixty-four, of one of the most esteemed gentlemen that we have had amongst us. Robert FAWCETT, Esq., County Inspector of Armagh, has passed away. In private life he was a genial, hospitable, kind, and sincere friend, while in public life he was the perfection of a good officer. He has left after him seven sons; six followed their father's corpse to the grave, the seventh is in Australia. At half-past nine o'clock precisely this morning, - the hour appointed for the funeral - on the coffin being put in the hearse, at his late residence, the Folly Lodge, Armagh, the cortege moved slowly down the carriageway, and proceeded through the city to the railway terminus. Along the line of route the shops were, out of respect to his memory, closed. After the hearse walked his six sons, and after them one hundred rank and file of the Royal Irish, four deep, followed by detachments of the 89th and the 94th Regiments, at present lying here. Immediately after these came the staff of the Armagh Light Infantry. The intimate friends of the late captain assembled in large numbers, and followed, walking two by two, and very many of the citizens accompanied the mournful cortege. Following the mourning coach and the deceased's own private carriage were those of the following: - His Grace the Lord Primate, Colonel SIMPSON, Mr. Robert BOYD, J.P.; Mrs. COOTE, Mr. Robert M'CRUM, Rev. Mr. MORGAN, &c. Arrived at the train, the coffin was placed in a carriage by four of the deceased's most trusty and oldest sergeants, when they, with the sub-inspectors and the immediate relatives, left very shortly for Enniskillen, the native place of the Fawcett family. The deceased was highly respected in the county, and his death is universally regretted. Messrs. FRIZELLE, of Armagh, had charge of the funeral arrangements. - Cor. Of Belfast News-Letter. DEPORTATION OF IRISH PAUPERS. A Jersey correspondent writes that the authorities in that island have a rough-and-ready way of getting rid of any parochial burdens, actual or prospective, when the unfortunate creature who has the ill-luck to fall into a destitute condition happens to be in the language of country, un etranger. The term is of rather wide application, inasmsuch as it includes not only "foreigners" in the usual meaning of the term, but even natives of Great Britain - all in fact not born in Jersey. Nor does the exception hold good in every instance. According to the dictum of the Crown officers of the island, "the child follows the fortune of the father," so that a child born of English or Irish parents on Jersey soil is not entitled to the benefit of the national privileges. A couple of cases have just been brought to public notice. One of them was that of Mary KENNEDY, an Irishwoman, who had been sent to prison thirty-five times by the police magistrate for drunkenness and disturbing the peace, and was sent at last by him before the Royal Court for heavier punishment than he was able to give her. Her husband, who is a few years her senior, has been for some time an inmate of the workhouse, being unable to labour, and a child ten years old is also in that establishment. The husband and child were brought to the bar in company with Mary Kennedy and in reply to his examiners Kennedy stated that he was a native of Wexford, and had been in Jersey thirty-six years, his wife having been there twenty-four years. The Court decided to get rid of the two, and ease the ratepayers of any further trouble on their account, by ordering their "removal to their place of settlement." As this proceeding, however, would cost the ratepayers a considerable sum of money, the "removal" really means simply transporting them to Southampton, and casting them adrift penniless to find their way to Wexford if they can. The chances of reaching that remote locality are very small, and it is very unlikely that they attempt. The probability is that in a short time they will be bundled back to Jersey as their proper place of settlement, to be again flung across the Channel on the chance of finding a settlement somewhere.

THE MURDER OF A SOLDIER IN GALWAY. - The body of the soldier, William STRINGER, a private of the 876th Regiment, alleged to have been murdered here on the morning of the 9th December, and for which crime a man named LAFFY and a prostitute are in custody, was yesterday evening found near the lighthouse by some Claddagh fishermen. The body is in an advanced state of decomposition, and was visited on being conveyed ashore by large crowds of people. An inquest will be held to-day. The only evidence, I understand, is that of a prostitute who, it is stated, saw the occurrence take place. Much excitement prevails here. "Hardening" Children. - A registrar of a parish in the west of Ireland states that the absurd custom still prevails with the peasantry of dipping infants in cold water to harden them, "and (he remarks) so it does, for I registered two or three this quarter, killed, I am sure, by the same thing." - The Sanitary Records. SAD DEATH OF TWO OLD MEN. J. C. RUTHERFORD, Esq., R.M., and Captain WEST, J.P., _____ in the unavoidable absence of Mr. T. PEYTON, one of the coroners for the county Roscommon, held an Inquest ib Saturday on the bodies of two old men named LYONS and MALLON respectively, whose deaths took place some days ago at their residence, Newton, near Tarmonbarry, under very distressing circumstances. For some time past, the two men, who were wretchedly poor, and each upwards of eighty years of age, lived together in a small cabin, trusting chiefly to the charity of their neighbors for sustenance, Lyons receiving the munificent sum of 1s. per week outdoor relief. On Tuesday morning a man named CASEY, passing the way, casually entered the hut and was shocked to discover the body of Mallon apparently lifeless, lying just inside the door; and on taking another look the man saw the body of Lyons close to the fire with the legs, arms and other parts of the body burned in a frightful manner. Poor Lyons was quite dead, and had been so evidently for hours before the discovery was made, but Mallon lingered in an insensible condition for a little time. Nothing by way of explanation could be elicited from him, and so far all is conjecture as to the manner of their melancholy end. The police, accompanied by Sub-Inspector O'LOGHLEN, were quickly on the spot, and made a diligent search in and around the hut. There was nothing discovered, however, to excite suspicion, nor were there any marks of violence on the bodies. Not a single drop of intoxicating liquor, or trace of any, was found on the premises, the only things being some cold bacon and a little tea. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death from injuries by fire in the case of Lyons, and in the case of Mallon of death from exhaustion. During the examination of one of the witnesses it was stated that both men had been in a very weakly state for some days before the sad occurrence, and had been attended by their priest, who administered the last sacrament in anticipation of a fatal termination of their illness.

Hi, Ray... Thanks for getting in touch. I'm still up; just sent articles from the December 29, 1876 edition. Are you new to the list? Have you checked the Archives? If not, go to: http://www.irelandoldnews.com/index.html There are several of us who type, and we've contributed quite a bit of information. I try to type articles with lots of names so researchers can get a time frame; and articles that I just think are interesting... like the information on Guinness. Things that give us an idea of the times... It was always my understanding that the Presbyterians were everywhere. In fact, I heard a speaker once say that if you can't find the oldest son in your family look at the Presbyterian records. Since the Catholics weren't allowed to own land, the oldest son would sometimes join the Presbyterian Church for that reason. I don't know how true that is... but it sounds plausible. Going to bed as it's after midnight, but will try to get started on 1877 newspapers tomorrow.
