I am looking for a Robert Meredith a sergeant in the Cork City artillery circa 1871. He was possibly the son of either Robert Meredith or his brother William Lambert Meredith. Roberts daughter Emma married in 1871 at St. Nicholas Cork, she would have been only about 16. Any information on Robert or the Cork Artillery would be greatly appreciated. Robert had a son Albert Meredith who was alive in the early 1920's. Thanks from Australia. Jan

Hi, I am still hoping to find information on my ggggrandparents Stephen MULCAHY and Caroline McHUGH who were married in Cork in 1858. Their daughter Mary b. 1860 in Cork. Stephen joined the British Army and fought in the Maori Wars and was discharged from the Army in Melbourne, Australia in 1870. I am trying to trace parents of the above two as death certificates state "Names Unknown". Thank you for any assistance. Maureen Whelan.

Hi. Is anyone out there researching the Collins family of County Cork? I have reason to believe (passed down through the family) that my great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Timothy Collins, emigrated from County Cork (possibly Cork City) to Newfoundland around 1776. (He turns up in St. John's, Newfoundland property records in 1781, sharing a division of land with Dennis Callagan, James Hannon, James Jeffrey, and John Callagan--all, I believe, Irish names.) It is likely that he came to Newfoundland with John Collins (brother? father?), the master of the schooner the Hannah and Lydia in April 1776. John settled in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland; his wife was Ann--I'm not sure whether Ann and John were married in Ireland or in Newfoundland. Timothy later moved to Spaniard's Bay (very close to Harbour Grace) and married a local girl there in 1783. These early Collinses of mine were likely Protestant and their immediate ancestors were probably of English origin (West Country). In Newfoundland, they were affiliated with the Church of England (as per marriage, baptism, and death records) and settled among the English residents. (Protestant and Catholic settlements in Newfoundland in those days were pretty well divided.) Perhaps, as a start, someone might be able to tell me whether Timothy Collins is in fact a common Irish name and more common in Ireland than in England. John Collins, I believe, is probably common in both countries. Other Christian names that turn up with regularity in that family are George, William, and James. As well, if anyone has any information on Collinses in County Cork around the middle 1700s, I would be more than grateful for whatever you pass along. Right now I'm just looking for a place to start researching. Thanks. Marilyn Pilkington

Would appreciate information on the whereabouts of Beaumont House near or at Cork city. Anne Beamish, the wife of a great ggg uncle of mine inherited the house and estates in the 1840s/1850s. Robert, London

I would be thrilled to find anything about this family. David Joseph Byrne apparently abandoned his wife & 7 children shortly after the death of his 18 years old eldest son (cancer) in January 1883. It's possible that David went to live near his brother in Jasper, Florida, but we know nothing of that brother. All we have is a family story that claims David went to him after his son's death. David was a qualified railway surveyor when he migrated from Co Cork to Queensland in 1862. I have his work records as a railway surveyor in Queensland & he was also a well respected architect. I would expect there were more children in the family of James Byrne & Ellen Welsh in Glanmire, Cork city, Co Cork, so I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on them. Name: James Byrne. Spouse: Ellen Welsh Children: 1: David Joseph Byrne, Birth: abt 1835, Glanmire Townland, Cork City, Co Cork, Ireland Occupation: Railway surveyor, architect Death: after Jan 1883; possibly in Florida, USA Emig: "Prince Consort" Dep Queenstown 2 Aug 1862.

Hi there, This is my first posting to this list. I am hoping that someone may be able to suggest where I should go to next in trying to locate information on the trials of my two ancestors. In other words, who do I write to in order to get copies of their trials. They are; BRIDGET REGAN who was tried in Cork City on 1st September 1837. She was a thorough servant and was sentenced to 7 years transportation for stealing clothes. She arrived in Sydney from Ireland on the ship "Diamond". WILLIAM REGAN (brother to the above) who was tried at Cork City on 16 May 1834. He was a town labourer and was sentenced to 7 years for also stealing clothes. He arrived in Sydney in 1835 on the ship "Hero". Could somebody also suggest what newspaper may have been likely to report these trials and where would I find copies now? TIA Vicki in NSW Australia

Interest in Archdeacon William Thompson particularly in the children of 1. his first marraiage 1800 to Elinor Fergusson 2. 2nd marriage 1809? to Mary Frances Chetwood Robert

I am fairly new to genealogy and I'm searching for information concerning my maternal grandfather. William DINAN emigrated from County Cork in 1906 with his brother Dennis. Six other brothers, one was Jeremiah, stayed in County Cork. I have a possible location: Boolimore, Rathcoole. Is that in County Cork? Would they have left Ireland from Queenstown, Cork, Munster ? Any possible clues are greatly appreciated. Mike Mattes El Paso, Texas mmattes200@aol.com Searching for: MATTES, DINAN, DONOUGHUE, TUFFY, KEANLE/KIENLE Germany, Ireland, Wayne Co., PA, Brooklyn and Queens, NY I think my ancestors were born under a bridge and buried in the backyard.

Cork Executions: John Twiss in the county gaol on 9 Feb 1895 for the murder of James Donovan, caretaker of an evicted farm at Glenlara, near Newmarket and executed on 21 April 1894 (reference Cork Examiner, 11 Feb 1895). shannah griggs 5/7/01 1:27 AM twiss_griggs@uniserve.com Hello, Everyone! My aunt, cousin and her better-arf went to see the Old Family Home in DINGLE, Kerry a few years ago. They had asked a gentleman farmer if the property by which they stood was the family estate, and he gave them a positive answer. After this, he proceeded to sing a song. They asked him what it was and he said, it was called, "They Hanged John TWISS". Now, I was wondering, if any of you Irish researchers have ever come across this song? If not, would you, please, send me directives as to how I might be able to acquire such a song? Would it possibly be in a website like finding and paying for a book? I would appreciate any help that you may send my way! Thank you so very much.

My ancestor Thomas Wall is described on his son's marriage certificate as a Railway Superintendant. Elsewhere he is described as a foreman mason in the construction of the Cork to Bandon railway. He worked on the development of the railway during the 1840's. He lived in or near Bandon. Family tradition says he originally came "from the north" to work on the railway but what this means is uncertain. He was married to Mary (possibly Crowley) and had children - John(1840-1933), William(1860's to 1908), Kate, Mary, Anne, Thomas and possibly Mathew. It is probable that Mary and Anne emigrated to America. In John Wall's (South Main St. Bandon) obituary notice in 1933 he is recorded as a lifelong Fenian and IRB who was responsible for " the National Monument which he helped to erect in 1898, and, more interesting still the memorial to the Manchester Martyrs in Kilbrogan Cemetery, which he (John Wall) erected in 1868". William Wall was a draper in Cork City who ran or worked in a draper's shop. In 1895 and 1896 no.14 Wintrop St. was occupied by William Wall, described as Clothiers and outfitters and also Hosiers,Gloves and Outfitters. I am obviously hoping that some lister is researching this family and might kindly contact me but I am also seeking information about sources related to the building of the Cork-Bandon railway. In particular does there exist a railway society, museum or interest group which might have personal information about employees? I would also appreciate if anyone can identify more exactly what the term "Railway Superintendant" means. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who can help to further my researches.God bless you all. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
