Hi All on the DUBLIN List, It is a long time since I visited (2003 I think) and thought it might be worth visiting again to ask much the same question I asked last time. My ancestor John GITTINS of Denbigh, Denbighshire in North Wales, married an Irish woman named Isabella (surname unknown) sometime in the last years of the 18th century and the first years of the 19th. They had at least two sons born in Ireland - another John and a Daniel. Seemingly Daniel continued to live in Ireland but by 1841 John and Isabella were in Denbigh and Daniel (aged 30), his wife Julia (25) and 1 month year old Thomas were visiting. Son John was by then serving in the British Army and didn't return until about 1850, when seemingly John and Isabella had passed away. All I know is that John junior was born in Dublin in the first years of the 19th century - all census reports and death certificate vary but it may have been as early as 1802. John senior had served in Ireland during the 1798 Uprising and despite bad press about the Welsh soldiers at least one Irish person liked John and so my family are linked to Ireland. I would be interested to hear from anyone who may know something about GITTINSes in Dublin. Best wishes, Charles
