Hi Syl I found on http://search.labs.familysearch.org the marriages of Esther Kewley and James Pollitt, and Margaret Clague and James in the IOM (but maybe you already have these?) - unfortunately no parents names. However, it is worth checking where the local Church Records are to see if there is further information on them Groom's Name: James Pollitt Groom's Birth Date: Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: Bride's Name: Esther Kewley Bride's Birth Date: Bride's Birthplace: Bride's Age: Marriage Date: 09 Jun 1831 Marriage Place: Braddan,Isle Of Man,England Groom's Father's Name: Groom's Mother's Name: Bride's Father's Name: Bride's Mother's Name: Groom's Race: Groom's Marital Status: Groom's Previous Wife's Name: Bride's Race: Bride's Marital Status: Bride's Previous Husband's Name: Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M03802-1 System Origin: Isle_Of_Man-ODM Source Film Number: 106711 Reference Number: Collection: Isle of Man Marriages, 1849–1911. Groom's Name: James Pollett Groom's Birth Date: Groom's Birthplace: Groom's Age: Bride's Name: Margaret Clague Bride's Birth Date: Bride's Birthplace: Bride's Age: Marriage Date: 28 Jan 1835 Marriage Place: Marown,Isle Of Man,England Groom's Father's Name: Groom's Mother's Name: Bride's Father's Name: Bride's Mother's Name: Groom's Race: Groom's Marital Status: Groom's Previous Wife's Name: Bride's Race: Bride's Marital Status: Bride's Previous Husband's Name: Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M03822-1 System Origin: Isle_Of_Man-ODM Source Film Number: 106733 Reference Number: Collection: Isle of Man Marriages, 1849–1911. There also lots and lots of other Pollitt's (including James) on Family Search - perhaps some of them are siblings of your James? It will certainly keep you busy, checking them out!!

Thanks for this valuable info Maggie. Loads to research now. Cheers Syl - UK

When searching surnames, it's best to try different spellings like Clegue, Clegg etc. Free sites are; irishgeneology. LDS. dublinheritage. Paying sites are, IFHF. findmypast. glasnevintrust, for Dublin deaths. For anyone looking for living relitives, dublinheritage have the 1939/1940 electoral roles on line free. Maggie

Hi Collette, thank you so much for the links. I will spend some time today having a good mooch around. James did marry in IOM. His first wife was Esther Kewley and they had a son Edwin my 3xgreat grandfather. Esther died about 1835 and James married Margaret Clague. They had at least 6 children most of them born in Cumberland. I have lost track of James and Margaret as I cannot find them in the 1871 census. I know James was in Liverpool in 1868 for the marriage of daughter Sarah to James Walker. My problem is finding parents and siblings for James. I have no idea where to look. I don't have James marriage cert other than info from the IGI. I do have his son Edwin's marriage cert, he was married in IOM. Thanks very much for you help.

Thanks Maggie, this is wonderful news. Do I just Google Irishgenealogy. Many and sincere thanks Syl - UK

Hi There are Polletts/Pollitts here http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/search.jsp?name2=&name=Poll*tt&location=&dd=&mm=&yy=&submit=Search&sort=&pageSize=100&type=&diocese=&parish=&century=&decade, although no sign of your James, I'm afraid, but perhaps it might help in some way, if not now then maybe at a later stage. What religion was James? Did he marry? If so, do you have his marriage cert, which should give at least his father's name? Good luck!

Hi, was he COI? There's Polletts on irishgeneology. Click on church records. It's free. Maggie

I am desperately trying to break down this brickwall of mine if anyone can offer advise in any way. My relly James Pollett (Pollitt) was born in Dublin, Ireland about 1805. I have no idea who his parents or siblings were. At age 20 (1826) James joined the 1st Rifle Corp in Manchester, so I now think that James and his family had moved to Manchester and were living there prior to him joining up. I have his discharge papers dated 1828. There is no family mentioned or where in Dublin he was born. He shows up in 1841 in Onchon, Douglas, IOM. Does anyone have any idea where I can check for birth details for James. If he was born in Ireland there must be a record of birth somewhere? Any help would be very gladly received. Syl - UK

Hi, The PPS number is the person's personal public security no. used to identify them for work, tax, social wellfare reasons. An Irish citizen is issued with this at the age of sixteen. It was originally called a revenue insurance no. and is akin to the British National insurance no. More information is provided on this at www.wellfare.ie. Maggie

For those of you who are familiar with ordering certificates this will be old school to you. For those who haven't and are wondering about how to, or whether it's worth it, here is my first experience. I have successfully done it! Ordered and received two death certificates for 1880 and 1884. Thank-you Maggie for introducing me to Brian Freeman at the Drumcondra Church. Brian very kindly found the headstone to the grave where my Mrs ENGLISH and two of her daughters are buried. Brian also located the burial entries which I used to to find locate what I hoped to be their death registration detail in the Irish deaths Index on the LDS microfiche available at NZ Soc of Genealogists. I downloaded the 'Application for Death Certificate' from http://www.groireland.ie/docs/DeathEnglishApp.doc and filled out the form. I still don't know what the PPS Number is, but I recorded the volume and page number, with the 'Quarter ended' info on this line. In section 3 I ticked the 'Specified Services' box and added below 'photocopy of entry in the Register of Deaths (for genealogy purposes only). I was charged 8Euro for both entries which equated to just under NZ$18. My forms were received the 3 Feb and posted airmail on the 8 Feb, to arrive to our rural delivery NZ letterbox 18 Feb. I think that not too bad. The first certificate isn't my ancestor as the date of death is 6 months after my relative. I suspected she might not be because I was looking for a 79 yr old Anna Eliza ENGLISH that I expected to have died in Nth Dublin. The closest entry I found was a 79 yr old Elizabeth that died in the North. The second certificate was for Mary Hesther ENGLISH and is definitely my relative. The information given on the certificate is -the District and Union. -Date and Place of Death -Name and Surname -Sex -Condition (which surprisingly is the term for married/unmarried) -Age Last Birthday -Rank, Profession, or Occupation -Certified Cause of Death and Duration of Illness -Signature, Qualification, and Residence of Informant ( this listed my Cecilia MARSHALL, sister of deceased, present at death, Belfast) -When Registered Hopefully this will help somebody. Best wishes from pre-autumn Warkworth Regards Julie Now, wh -Signature of Registrar.

Thanks to Yvonne Russell, there is a new batch of photos for Mount Jerome. This set is #19. The direct link for this cemetery is: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/dublin/photos/tombstones/mt-jerome-ndx.htm There are some oldies here. Yvonne has done a great job taking all these photos and then transcribing them too. I wish we could clone her.

Hi, Joyce has taken more photos from Glencullen Old Cemetery. About 24 new ones. To view the newest shots go to: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ Click on DUBLIN and then Headstones. Be sure to check out the text file for names. On occasion I am asked how to tell if a cemetery is "done". The best answer I can give is that most of our cemeteries would be considered partial. It is hard to claim a cemetery is "finished" even if most stones have been photographed. There are always stones that can't be read at all. Or something might be missed. Regards, Christina Ireland Genealogy Projects ===============================

Hi, We have just added more headstones to the IGP Archives. This set is from Deansgrange - the first from St Brigit's section. The photos were taken and transcribed by Joyce Tunstead. We are so lucky to have her doing this. If you are curious, Joyce tells me there are 75,000 graves at Deansgrange. It is huge! You can check the online map to see the locations of the various sections. If you live in Ireland we need more photographers. These headstones are aging and getting harder to read. We like to think we are helping to preserve them. So, please email me offline if you can help take pictures. We will get them transcribed if you can't do that part. Even if you don't live in Ireland but have a visit planned you can help. If you go to a cemetery - please take pictures. They are a great source of information. (End of plea) To view the latest from Deansgrange go to: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ Click on DUBLIN and then Headstones. Enjoy! Christina ===============================
