Well this is one time where I transcribed the parish register and note it to be down as Oiverium which as you are aware is Latin, in fact most of the Catholic register was in Latin, but Jeff's problem is in fact trying to locate someone who has a connection to the name Archbold or indeed one of it derivatives. He has on numerous occasions posted on this name and to date, he has not used very good fishing bait as he has received no bites, so I am hoping this time that someone may know something of this part of the family who ended up in Dublin Cheers Cara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Doyle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2011 7:23 PM Subject: [IRL-DUBLIN] Christian name Olevia/Oliverium > Hi, I've never heard that Christian name anywhere in Ire.

Hi Colette Thank you for the reply, If only some of those Archbold's were in my tree. Cannot get any farther down than Oliverium or Olevia born about 1838 married 1860. Is his Christian name common in Ireland? Had hope he may have been named after his father, but no luck Thank you again Jeff

Hi, I've never heard that Christian name anywhere in Ire. Sounds Latin to me. In RC families, the 1st born son was usually ( but not always) named after thier fathers father. The 1st born daughter was named after the fathers mother etc. In COI families, children were sometimes given the maiden name of the mother or the surname of a closely connected family as thier Christian name. Maggie

Hi, Searching for info on John Wilson/Willson, a Quaker, married 11 mo. 16, 1705 Grange, County Armagh, Ireland to Alice Whitfield. Alice was the daughter of Henry, died 1690 and Hester, died 1696, both of Dublin. Ann

Hi I didn't realise how common a name Archbold was in Dublin + county, but according to Griffiths Valuation the name is mentioned 191 times!! See this link http://tinyurl.com/5unafcd, which may be a hindrance or a help.

Good morning Lynley, Sorry I have not got back to you sooner. It would be interesting if there was a connection. With Thomas being born circa 1858 to John and Margaret Morrison, it is bit hard to work back to your Morrisons. Not too sure if the name Morrison was a name common in Dublin. Where did the name Morrison originate from I wonder? It would be great if BMD sitea around the world gave you as much information to work on as the Queensland and New South Wales BDM Websites e.g. Here is the death of James Edwin Morrison in NSW, the son of Thomas and Mary Ann Morrison of New Quay, Wales 14361/1944 MORRISON, JAMES EDWIN Father THOMAS Mother UNKNOWN @ SYDNEY 1944 is the year of death, for some reason the informant did not know James' mother's name, which is strange as his wife Annie was still alive. Sydney is where the death was registered. Death of his wife Annie 606/1962 MORRISON, ANNIE JANE Father GEORGE SILAS Mother ELIZA @ SYDNEY 1962 year of her death. Hope you do well in your search.

Dear Janice, My heart leapt when I read your subject line as I have MORRISON family who record Dublin as their birth place. Sadly I can't help you with Thomas MORRISON but who knows there may be a connection??? Here is my MORRISON information. Luke MORRISON, mariner, was the father of Michael MORRISON, born circa 1800. I'm guessing Luke would have been born in the 1780s IF Michael was his first born. Michael first appears in the English UK census of 1841 with his "wife" Margaret and several of their children. I say "wife" because for some reason they are recorded on this census under her maiden name KEHOE and they did not marry until 1845 in Brighton, Sussex, England after the birth of their last child! Several of their children were also registered in England under KEHOE. Their first child seems to be Elizabeth and her birthplace is recorded as Surrey, England around 1830. Michael and Margaret both record their birthplace as Dublin Ireland around 1800 on the 1851or 1861 UK census. One mentions Kingstown Dublin as a birthplace so that might be a possible lead. M and M both died in Brighton in the Race Hill Workhouse in the 1880s Margaret's father was John KEHOE, printer, Dublin according to her marriage certificate. I need a pile of cash to pay to view records back in Dublin as that might help me, but at this stage I have a lot of brickwalls. Interestingly my gg grandfather was John MORRISON, son of M and M above, who married and emigrated to NZ in 1865 from Brighton Sussex. I will tuck your email away just on the off chance that it does provide vital clues in my search. I have been trying to post my roll call for MORRISON/KEHOE to the Dublin list but a remote server thing is blocking it currently. A fellow genealogist has told me to keep trying to send it as it will eventually get through. Good luck with your research.

I also have found Alumni Dublinenses to be an excellent resource.  I usually have to run into the city to do lookups of names I'm researching, but I just recently learned that my library could request this book from another library in another USA state for me.  Also, the version in my area is an older edition .  However, I found a later edition was available out of state, which I have in my possession for 5 more days before I finally must return it.  The preface to the book does not tell about a secondary education that the school offered prior to matriculation.  My guess is that it did not since the record for each student has the teacher or school's name that the student attended prior to matriculation, such as the referen ce for y our George Keogh who studied under Mr. Lyons prior to his matriculation.  But that is only my guess. By the way, the 1935 edition I have borrowed has a supplement in the third volume which has the Trinity records through 1860.  Unfortunately, I had to return that volume already. Anyway, the main reason I write this is to say to everyone that if there is a book such as Alumni Dublinenses  that you want to view, you might check with your local library as to whether they can request it at another library for you.

In it I found my 4xg-grandfather George Drew Keogh (c1782-1861) who apparently became a pensioner student on October 3 1796 at the age of 13. Can anyone tell me whether the college at this period effectively provided a secondary education prior to matriculation for a bachelor's degree? Incidentally has anyone come across the Christian name 'Elio' who was apparently a brother (who probably died young)? Note: The book provides information on place of birth, father's name and status, and school(master) and I recommend it as a source. Unfortunately the version on Google only provides snippet information. The copy I found (at Durham University Library)had to have the sheet slit to allow me to view the Keogh's. Regards Alan Swindale

Glad to see the roll call. It usually helps some. I hope I'm one. I have a William Hall born Dublin (family never said City or County but I suspect City). William was born 1831-1833. The Canadian census kept adjusting his birth slightly. His father's name was John and mother Catherine. Believed her last name to be Johnson. The family left Ireland not long after William's birth and his brother George was born in Quebec in 1834. This Hall family is protestant and I know most records were lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One other question is what was going on in Ireland in the early 1830's that would prompt leaving? Thank you for reading.

Hello Cara This is wonderful information you have provided. My eyes lighted up when I saw John Hastings Babington John Hastings Babington and Catherine Jane Seree ML 1794 My g g g grandparents have a son John Hastings Lynch. I wonder if this John Hastings Babington was a loved uncle ? The family seemed to like to pay tribute to other esteemed family members by including their name within their child. For instance this couples grandson (my great grandfather) ended up with the illustrious name David James Babington Lynch....pretty impressive for a shop keeper....haha I have always felt , given subsequent generations naming patterns, that Eleanor's parents were probably an Elizabeth and Thomas. I know its an assumption but thats all I have at the moment. So to that end the records Thomas Babington and Elizabeth Steevens ML 1785 seem to be a start. Eleanor was born in 1798. How can I access any further information on these records? I admit I find the Irish records are bamboozling, I wish I lived a little closer ! Also a quick aside This couples granddaughter Sarah married a Barnes.....the names keep repeating....so everyone becomes a possibility ! I really want to thank you for you interest. This is so frustrating , stuck just when the story was getting really interesting.

Hello Listers, I am hoping SKS, can help with the family of a Thomas MORRISON. I am helping a Morrison friend living on the Northern beaches in Sydney, with his family research. I have been able to work back to his gg grandfather Thomas Morrison, a Mariner born circa 1858 in Kingstown, Dublin. Thomas was a Marriner and made his way from Dublin to New Quay in Wales, and I have been advised by a Lister on the Welsh List, that many Irish were coast guards and settled in New Quay. Thomas married a Welsh Lass, Mary Ann Jones in January 1878 Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales and they lived at 6 High Terrace, New Quay, where it appears per the Census mostly Marieners and their families lived. Thomas and Mary Ann had three children two boys and a daughter, Sarah Hannah however died at 5 years of age. The eldest son James Edwin Morrison, followed his father and became a seaman and by 1900 had settled in Australia, where he married. On two Census, Thomas gives his place of birth as Kingstown, Dublin, however, on the 1881 Census Thomas Morrison aged 23, was on board the "Briton" at Devonport, Devon. Here he gives his place of birth as Kerry, Kellorglin, Ireland, which is very strange. Thomas lost his life on 22nd February 1916 on board the SS Duckbridge SS. "...She was a British Merchant steamer of 1,491grt. On the 22nd February 1916 when on route with Welsh steamcoal for the British fleet from Cardiff to Orkneys, she was mined and sunk, 6 miles N from Straithie Point. Owned by Thomas L. Weiss & Co, Newcastle. The minefield was set by the German Raider SMS Moewe. 16 lives were lost, including the Master of the ship..." On the Commonwealth War Graves Commisson Website, it gives Thomas's late parents' names as John and Margaret MORRISON. This may help to find his family in Ireland.
