I have a person listed as being born in Clonturk, Dublin, Ireland in 1731. Clonturk is/was a community north of the River Liffey, in Vicinity of where St. Micahn's and St. Mary's Churches are located. Looks to be about 3 blocks or so north of the river in vicinity of Church Street. I feel sure the area was larger than this back then. I have two questions and I am looking for opinions or answers as I NEED HELP. 1) Why would he be listed as born in Clonturk when there were churches in the area. This is what the LDS IGI file says and it says no more. 2. Does anyone have a microfilm number for ST. Mary's births in the 1730 time frame. I know that St. Mary's and St. Michan's were in existence back then as I found them on a 1610 map of Dublin. I already have the film number for St.Michan's but not for ST. Mary's. I have tried to send the LDS folks a message asking them for help. I am wondering why he was listed as being born this way or in this place while most show a church with birth date or chr. date. Thanks in advance for your help, opinions and/or suggestions. Hal

Carol, Was John Bennett living in Fairview in 1901. I have an unpublished list which includes a Bennett family.

Is Newbridge very far from Dublin? Are there churches by name connected to these convents? Im trying to track an ancestor. She talked about having a burial shroud made by the Sisters of Mercy near Newbridge back in the mid 1800's Im guessing about 1850-1860 time frame. She lived a long time and actually migrated in 1890 to the US and brought that shroud with her. They did a news article on her back in 1904 when she was 106 and the oldest resident of the county here in Pennsylvania.

Linda, Here are 3 references to the Sisters of Mercy from the Pettigrew & Oulton Dublin Almanac 1845 ST. MARY'S ASYLUM, DRUMCONDRA-ROAD, Under the Patronage of the Most Rev. Doctor Murray, Very Rev. Dean Meyler, V.G. and Very Rev. Doctor Yore, V.G. Guardian, Rev. John Smith, Exchange-street. This meritorious Institution, which at present entirely provides for more than forty poor Peniien,t Females, was fonnded in 1833, on principles of strict discipline. From its commencement more tbqa ISO of the most miserahle of human beings (unfortunate fallen females) have been rescued from ^n, scandal, and degradation, and placed in this retreat of repentance, retirement, and peace. Some, after giving proof of their sincere conversion, have again, like the prodigal child, returned to their father's house; others, dreading their own weakness, and the many dangers of a world that once flattered and then deceived them, have resolved never to leave this, their happy abode. Here, then, the charitable and humane Christian can directly co-operate with our Divine Redeemer, by theii contributions, who came not to call the just, bat sinners, to repentance. Donations thankfully received by the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, (patron) the Rev. Dean Meyler, v.a. the Very Rev. Dr. Yore. V.G. the Roman Catholic Clergymen of the City, by the Sisters of Mercy, Baggot-street Convent, (under whose special care the Penitents are instructed at the Asylum) and the Rer. John Smith (guardian,) Exchange-street. N.B.—This Institution has a depository, 23 Essex-quay and Lower Exchange-street, which is wpplied with foreign, theological, and moral -works, crucifixes, altar charts, missals, breviaries, dinrnius, beads, medals, prints, paintings, <fcc. which are sold at a small profit for the benefit of the poor Penitents. Orders for Lanndry and Needle Works, (post paid) directed to the Matron at the Asylum, or to Maria Finley, at the Depository, attended to. and SISTERS OF MERCY, (Baggot-street.) Superioress, Mrs. Delany Sisterhood,—Thirty-six. Chaplain, Rev. Mr. O'Carrpll [There is another house of this Order at Booterstown.] There are, besides those above named, three other religions houses near Dublin, viz.—one of St. Clare, at Harold's-cross; one of Dominicans, at Cabra; and one in Lpwer Mount street. and BENEVOLENT AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS. 337 INSTITUTION OF MERCY, BAGGOT-STREET, FOUNDED 24TH OF SEPTEMBER, 1827, For the education of Poor Girls, Visitation of the Sick, and Protection of Distressed Young fVomen of Good Character. In this Institution from Fifty-five to sixty young women are protected, maintained, and instructed, till placed in suitable situations; very many respectable persons are always amongst the number. Those who cannot be lodged in the house, are assisted as much as means will admit, until employment is obtained for them. Six hundred servants engaged from the establishment within the last year, prove its utility, especially to the inhabitants of Dublin. In the Poor School from three hundred and sixty to four hundred children receive a religious and useful education, while the most destitute are assisted with clothing. There are, however, other claimants on the Institute, whose wants the Sisters of Mercy find it very difficult to supply—the sick poor, who are visited in the damp cellars and unwholesome lanes of the city; none but an eye witness could have the most distant conception of the wretchedness that seeks refuge there. Branches of this Institute are spreading through Ireland; and similar establishments in different parts of England. A Public Laundry attached to the House of Mercy will be found a great convenience to persons stopping at hotels in the neighbourhood. >From the construction of the drying-rooms, clothes can be quickly got up and well aired, under the direction of a perfect laundress.

Can anyone tell me if there is a Sisters of Mercy convent near Dublin and in or near Newbridge? thanks very much, Linda Dolan

I'm new to the list and happy to have found an Irish Ancestor for my husband. ELIZA CALLANAN a native of DUBLIN was tried in 1830 and sentenced to 7 years transportation to Australia for "stealing ribbon". She arrived in Sydney aboard the PALAMBAM in 1831 aged 18 years old. Would anyone have access to baptism records for Dublin c1813? Eliza was Catholic and it's thought that her full name may have been ELIZABETH FRANCIS CALLANAN. Thanking you in anticipation.

For sharing this Bill as the Halpin family located in Co Wicklow are also linked to a George and they all had sea going backgrounds I feel that one day we will find that connection. Great to see people willing to share what they learn, makes me warm and fuzzy to know this still happens in this day of busy research.

I'm interested in your reference to your BYRNE family in 1901 on Great Georges (N or S) Street in Dublin. I don't have access to the 1901 Census either, but I have a connection to BYRNE and N. Great Georges Street. My gg-grandmother, Catherine KING (born 1826), lived at 19 N. Great Georges Street in Dublin. She married Edward BYRNE, and they are found living in 1867 at 11 Upper Mercer Street. I am curious if your BYRNE family resided at the same address (19 N Great Georges). If so, a branch of my BYRNE family may be connected to yours. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

Hello Engineering has not always been a university degree as it is to-day, you were an apprentice. Maybe there is a Guild.

Sorry to flood the list at the moment but, because of my previous mentioning that George Halpin junior was a 'qualified civil engineer', it may be that he was educated at Trinity, probably some time between about 1820 - 1835. May I ask what records exist from Trinity for this period? Best wishes Bill.

Regarding recent postings from Charles and others involving the name Halpin, I have yesterday received the following detailed response from David Bedlow for Head of Marine Irish Lights Office16 Lower Pembroke street Dublin 2 Ireland www.cil.ie, for which I thank him greatly. George Halpin was appointed as Inspector of Works to the Corporation for Preserving and Improving the Port of Dublin in 1800. This was the Port Authority for Dublin, also known as the Ballast Board. Halpin was a builder by trade, with no academic engineering qualifications. He was responsible for supervising various engineering works around Dublin Port, from Sutton on the north side of Dublin Bay to Bullock Harbour on the south. In 1810 the Ballast Board was made responsible for the lighthouses around the coast of Ireland, and the Board extended Halpin's responsibilities by appointing him Inspector of Lighthouses as well as Inspector of Works. Halpin was an administrator of exceptional ability. Under his direction the Ballast Board established an effective management structure for the lighthouse service, standardised the level of service provided, and regularised the employment of lighthouse keepers. Gradually during the nineteenth century a proper marine aids to navigation infrastructure was put in place. George Halpin died suddenly in July 1854 while carrying out lighthouse inspections. His date of birth is unknown. However, his headstone in Mount Jerome Cemetry, Dublin, gives his age at the time of death as 75 years. When the Ballast Board took over responsibility for the Irish Lighthouses in 1810 there were only 14 lighthouses around the Irish Coast. By 1867, when responsibility was transferred to the Commissioners of Irish Lights, there were 72. George Halpin directed the construction of most of the 58 additional lighthouses, and of a number of others subsequently discontinued because their location proved ineffective. He also oversaw the modernisation and re-equipping of the previously existing lighthouses. This was in addition to supervising the construction of new docks, bridges and other projects for the expanding Dublin port - a remarkable achievement. So far as I am aware, virtually nothing is known of his family history. We do know, however, that his son, also George, who was a qualified civil engineer, was employed by the Board as assistant Inspector of Works and Inspector of Lighthouses from 1830 and when George Halpin senior died George Halpin junior was promoted to the post of Inspector of Works & Superintendent of Lighthouses. A History of The Port of Dublin by H.A. Gilligan (published by Gill & Macmillen Ltd, Goldenbridge, Dublin 8; 1988; ISBN 0-7171-1578-X) gives an excellent overview of the achievements of the two George Halpins. There was also a Robert Halpin who was chief officer and later master of the Great Eastern, originally a passenger paddle steamer which was later converted to a cable layer and which laid the first transatlantic submarine cable from Valentia Island, Co Kerry, to New York. I do not know whether Robert Halpin was a relative of the George Halpins. The lighthouses in Dublin Port are the responsibility of Dublin Port Company, see www.dublinport.ie There is a lighthouse at the end of the North Wall, but I do not know whether it is the same one. As far as Charles' queries go, I may be subject to correction but, as the descendents of these men were avowedly Protestant/Anglican, I assume that they were also. We may know more whenever I can obtain their Mt Jerome burial records and I will so advise. Best wishes Bill.

Hi.. If there is a guild for engineers I would love to find out about it. I am looking for any infromation on: Francis Mangan...civil engineer circa 1850 and of course James Rawlins who was chief engineer at grand canal prior to becoming superintendent of the Dublin and Kingstown RR in 1843, Thanks, Bev W ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

There is the Alumni Dublinensis which lists all alumni from 1600's to last century. It is available in most university and large city libraries.
