Hi Maire. I'm sorry I'm so late in replying to you. As always, your information is much appreciated. I noted that you were replying to a very old email correspondence between Pete Schermehorn and myself. I haven't had MSN for quite a few years. I wonder if any Listers know if it's possible to go to the Lists and Boards and change outdated email addresses. I'm guessing the answer is 'no'. We probably miss a lot of contacts because of old addresses. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Griffiths Valuation shows 3 NUGENTs in the Ballinasloe Union. Maryanne at Brackernagh, Kilcloony, Thomas at Kilmalaw, Kilgerrill and Francis at Carrowholla, Mallymacward. This is said to be only part of the Ballinasloe Union so there may be more elsewhere. Hope this helps. Apologies if you have already looked into these.

Hi, I noticed that you mentioned Oates from the west of Ireland. My father Martin Oates (and his twin Thomas) were born in 1905 near Frenchpark in Roscommon. They were part of a big family, several of whom moved to the US. Let me know if this is of interest. I have a fair bit of information about my Oateses.

Here in the Funeral Register all of the articles mentioned were supplied by the Funeral Home and an itemized bill was given to whoever was paying the final bill! It is recorded as Funeral Bill(wake was included). This was in 1904. Helen

Parish schools five of them here is a good site for family http://www.landedestates.ie/LandedEstates/

I am pretty sure it was the supplies FOR a wake, to feed the mourners. Not the cost of PAYING for a wake. I got the impression some thought it was the cost for having a wake like paying a funeral bill. The families all supplied clay pipes to give out at the wakes and tobacco and everyone was delighted to receive them as clay pipes would smash easily. You still find clay pipes in the earth in bits. Snuff was for the ladies. My mother said you had to be a granny to get snuff. I suppose the bar of soap was to wash the body and what else, not sure but they didn't use it to wash delph as only boiling water was poured over dishes to be washed. Some still practice that today in Ireland. Usually a neighbor would come to wash the body to save the widow or whomever the sorrow of this task. Same with delivering babies, a neighbor would help. Usually one reliable soul would be the one to call for all. Not sure what the coffin mounted meant. A cross was usually mounted on the coffin. Most were hand made by the family. Graves were dug by the neighbors and they were fed for digging the grave. Even in recent times in country graveyards, still the same. No undertaker involved. My friend who is 53 recently dug a grave for a neighbor (Co. Galway) and another neighbor woman came with sandwiches and tea to the graveyard and said it was the request of the dead man that she feed the grave diggers. Nice to see the list. Thanks for sharing.

I found similar list in the payment of a funeral for one of my g.g. grandfathers in "The Funeral Register" at a local library. I never knew such lists existed-mine was in Hopkinton, Middlesex, MA. This book was wonderful and gave me names I had never had before in my lineage. Check at your libraries, may be many have these records and we don't know about them! Helen

Which was nothing found. the best records are church records here in the states on a marriage record MOST time the place of birth is correct. Phyllis PS I just found in that stuff my book one of the Birmingham cousins I met in Milltown gave me. Milltown Sketches, ithas some old reords of the families and some 1900 ones to.
