From THE IRISH EMIGRANT :: March 20, 2006 :: Issue No.998 - A group named Friends of the Huguenot Cemetery has been formed in Cork to oppose plans to build a coffee shop and exhibition area on the site of a derelict Huguenot graveyard in Carey's Lane. Local restaurateur John Murphy has applied for planning permission for the site which conservationists say is consecrated ground. Two previous planning applications, in 1989 and 2001, were unsuccessful. The last two remaining headstones disappeared from the site decades ago. http://www.IrishEmigrant.com

Hi Diane, There is a garage called Johnson and Perrott in Cork City. The spelling is slightly different to what you have but it could be the one you seek. It is a very old firm and is situated in Emmet Place (formerly Nelson Place) Cork with subsidiary businesses at other locations in the city. Regards, Brendan Jones. > Does anyone on this list recall a large garage called Johnston and Parrot in > Cork (don't know if county or city)?

Thanks very much, Brendan. I'll drop them a line and cross my fingers! Diane

Does anyone on this list recall a large garage called Johnston and Parrot in Cork (don't know if county or city)? Reportedly a distant relative (Johnston) owned it not long ago, and I'd like to try to track him down. Any leads would be gratefully received! Diane Culhane

In Kentucky, Minnie was also used for Arminta and for Minta Barb

Maisie was my mother's given name - not shortened or a nickname. But I guess, like others, it could be derived originally from another name. Cheers, Patsy - New Zealand.

Yes, indeed, it could be used as a 'Minnie', but also a 'Hermy/Hermie' ****** Replies To The List Only, Please ****** Padraig Mor An Sean Gabhar ----- Original Message ----- From: <Eastgram@aol.com> To: <IRL-CORK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 1:41 PM Subject: Re: IRL-CORK-D Digest V06 #51 > Hi, my ggm was named Herminia, this looks like a goo candidate for Minnie. > Take care, Ed Callahan -- ---------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Hi, my ggm was named Herminia, this looks like a goo candidate for Minnie. Take care, Ed Callahan

My Minnie was actually Wilhelmina Jeanette Lee

Putting in my "two cents worth", my ancestors named Mary were called Molly, not Minnie. Minerva sounds reasonable to me.

My grandfather had a sister whose name showed up alternately as Evelyn Minnie, and Minnie Evelyn. There is also one document where she is listed as Evelyn M. After she married, she was listed consistently as Evelyn. I need to find her baptismal information to see if the whole name is listed. Ann

Having a relative called and registered as Minnie I thought I'd check to see how many are in the 1881 census. Gave up! - there are 15,000 in the first two of the 8 index discs, so it was at least a reasonably popular name in the UK back in the latter part of the 1800's. Regards Tony

Greetings, I had a relative I called "Aunt Minnie" but she was a Swede. I can't imagine her being Mary, or Winniford or any of the other names people have suggested. I should investigate her - she was born in Sweden and always spoke with a Swedish accent and was never called anything else other than Minnie.
