According to Margaret marriage record it shows her birth date as May 15 1880 Dunmore Co Galway. this is a second marriage mom name changes from Anne Carroll to Mary Rafferty did Thomas Birmingham die? then Margaret death record from Boston Ma states she was age 50 years-3 months- 4 days. Who makes the date to be this way??? Doctor or what? I had a program to get a correct date but lost it.

I sent my money in to the GRO Roscommon which now holds all the records. and they could not find it and sent me back 2 euros for my ten dollars. When I went to GRO Dublin it was very time consuming and not like our Achieves. You got the book for the date range and I found more then one of my name. They told me to come back the next day.

Since you have a birth date and it's after 1863, you should be able to find the birth in the Irish civil birth registry. You can let the GRO do it (groireland.ie) or do it yourself via the LDS index and registration films. Diane

Hello Joy - I have some papers regarding my ggrandfather who also served in the 88th, mainly stationed at Boyle, in Co Roscommon. He had also served in India at some time. I used a researcher to find the papers at Kew in London, it was a cost but it is wonderful to have these records. There is an active Connaught Rangers Association which you have probably found - I have met with one of the members, Danny Tiernan of Boyle, who is also very knowledgeable on the Rangers. The UK Military mailing list might be able to give you more helpful advice on searching at the Archives.

I have the privilege of having been given a letter written in 1878 by my great-great-uncle John McCusker to his sister, my great-grandmother. He put his address as: N1280 B Company, 88 Connaught Rangers, Komgha, Cape Colony Frontier. It is a fascinating letter, about family and friends, and the world situation. I have searched the internet and found interesting sites about the 88th Foot Connaught Rangers, and information about Robert Seavers whom he mentioned as having been wounded.   Does anyone know if it is possible to find the service record for my great-great-uncle? Thank you.   Joy Dean

Hi Joy, I also have Hamilton ROSS in the Connaught Rangers but back in 1801. I haven't been able to find much out except when he was retired on half in Cape Town, South Africa. I haven't checked the internet for about six months.

This is a bit off the Cemetery issue. As a final wrap up to my research I have been meaning to contact the churches in the areas that they lived. Just to see if they would have any additional information. I know that there are at least two children we are missing. It looks like most of the children did immigrate. One only made it to Scotland. He said in 1914 That he and his two sisters Matilda and Annie Josephine were the only surviving children of the 9. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There are a couple of problems with this. As the mother was Catholic and the father was church of England. I am not sure how the family dynamics worked. I probably need to contact both sects. as they may have had dealings with both or none. I found one of the earliest baptism in the Catholic Parish film 1860 Calla listed as residence.

I think there are others on the Galway list who might be able to help better than I can. I don't know much about Irish census returns. I'm afraid I lost some of your details in transferring files to a new computer. From memory, you had some Malleys in Calla - still there in the 1870s? If you do manage to get out there, John Malley has a little farm on Strand Road, Ballyconneely and rents out a very nice cottage with its own little beach - [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) Roundstone is only a small fishing village - popular with painters and photographers. It's not on any town map. You could get a disc of the original, 19th-century Ordnance Survey map from Galway Library or buy the modern OS map - Discovery Series #44. They sometimes have copies on eBay. Tim Robinson's Gazetteer of Connemara is a poor map but would give you a few details about Roundstone parish - he lives there and has a small shop in the village. Calla is in Ballindoon parish. I think I should tell you that on January 28th 1873, Patrick Malley of Calla was murdered by his own son, William. The police report said that he was hit over the head with a loy (turf spade.) There's a brief reference to it on _http://aoh32.org_ (http://aoh32.org) The Playboy of the Western World is based on the killing of Patrick Malley of Calla. Synge probably read about it in the local press. William Malley is Christy Mahon in the play, a great hero with the local girleens for having killed his da! Sara: 'And asking your pardon, is it you's the man killed his father?' Christy: 'I am, God help me!' Sara: 'Then my thousand welcomes to you, and I've run up with a bra ce of duck's eggs for your food today.' Christy: 'They're a great and weighty size.' Susan: 'And I run up with a pat of butter, for it'd be a poor thing to have you eating your spuds dry, and you after running a great way since you did destroy your da.' Christy: 'Thank you kindly.' Honor: 'And I brought you a little cut of a cake, for you should have a thin stomach on you, and you that length walking the world.' Nelly: 'And I brought you a little laying pullet - boiled and all she is - was crushed at the fall of night by the curate's car. Feel the fat on that breast, mister.' So if you can claim descent from those two, you've reason to go round to the stage door and brag about it! Brian

Karen, Travel from London to Gort is a snap. Fly from London-Stansted to Shannon with Ryanair (1:25 flight time), for example, rent a car and in 45 minutes you are in Gort.

And check the LDS catalog, too. No point spending time in London or Dublin reviewing records the LDS have filmed and you can view from a local library. Diane

In a message dated 19/01/2009 19:23:30 GMT Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Would it be productive to do research in London? I would appreciate any research and/or travel suggestions. London can be as good as Dublin for research, depending on which specific records you want to look at. The LDS centre in South Kensington has an enormous collection of Irish records in stock. For example, all the Irish BMD indexes, all the Irish Birth records 1864-80,1900-1913,1930-1955. Marriages 1845-70, Deaths 1864-70. Gort RC records. If you know which records you would want to look at in Ireland, check if they are available on LDS film, then check against the London catalogue _www.hydeparkfhc.org_ (http://www.hydeparkfhc.org) This is the flagship LDS library outside the US and they have made a deliberate effort to stock as many Irish films as possible. There are still records that are only available in Ireland, of course, but if you can determine what exactly you want to look at, you will have a better idea of how and where to best spend the time. Shannon airport is ideal for Gort, as someone pointed out, and there is a bus always waiting just outside to take you to Gort - about an hour. Belfast is a different option altogether, as far as research goes. Necessary if you have Northern Irish ancestors and want to look at certain records, such as the Revisions, but if you just want to cover Gort, then you would do much better in London or Dublin. Dublin has the Valuation Office, the National Library and the National Archives. Without knowing exactly which records you want to see - and you will need to have a really good idea if you can only spare a day or two - it's difficult to be more specific. If you do have a definite agenda, contact me off-list and I will see if I can help. Cathy ( from just outside London)
