Hi Cara I have very little info what I have is storys told by my gr grandmother their grandaughter She said they left dublin intent on going to New York, Anastasia's parents were with them, she gave their names as Joseph & Mary Kelly from 'the foot of the wicklow mountains', Mary became ill & died so they settled in liverpool. My nan had a bit of the blarney in her and some storys were greatly embellished but usually Ive found her storys to be fairly right Laurence & Anastasia eldest son laurence jrn was brn 1848 in dublin he became a french polisher, Laurence 1821-1885 occupation was only ever described in census records as labourer, their 2nd son was a Isaac B 1849-1851 in Liverpol the name was reused many times in our family their eldest daughters name was Mary brn 1852 - 1891 in liverpool (my line) they were RC and very devoute Anastasia, Laurences wife was born 1826 in Dublin she died 1888 in Liverpool, and that other than naming order of children are the only clues Im not in Ireland so have to rely on the net do you know if there are any web sites that may help in my search Kind regards Glen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara_Links" <cracker@hotkey.net.au> To: <irl-dublin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 6:43 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-DUBLIN] re-SKS > > > Registration of Births began in 1864 and was compulsory, and doesnt cost > to > register, but in the time frame you are looking at > they will most certainly would have been placed in a parish register when > baptised and this was their form of registration > And as most parish priests were probably paid in kind I feel that your > family of Nolans would have been a God Fearing family and have registered > them. > Because the parish priest would have called on them in those days to make > sure. > > What you are needing to locate is the Parish that they are from to locate > the parish register you will need to look into. > Have you any other clues of where they are from other than Dublin? > DO you know what they worked at before leaving Dublin? > and what religion were they I am assuming RC but they may have been Church > of Ireland or wheelbarrow or something. > > Regards > Cara Toole > Cara_Links > Researching -Irish Headstones, and Linking Irish ancestors. > Toole, Critchley,Beatty Byrne, Murphy,O'Toole,Barry- > Wicklow, Wexford, Dublin,Clare > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "glensi" <glensi@xtra.co.nz> > To: <irl-dublin@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 10:30 AM > Subject: Re: [IRL-DUBLIN] re-SKS > > >> Yes thanks Norma not my fellow my lawrence was definatly born Dublin Ive >> checked that lawrence's records and he is no connection my lot were very >> poor and I feel registering their many offspring wasnt high on the >> financial >> list >> >> regards Glen > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > IRL-DUBLIN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message
