Hi Mary, Have you purchased any of Timothy's children's birth certificates? For years my GGG Murphy just had Cork, Ireland on all his documents too. I had all his 12 children from the indexes, however 10 yrs later (and for another reason) I purchased one of the children's birth certificates and it gave me the town in the County. :) You might just be lucky enough to find a County mentioned on one of the children's Birth certificates. Kind regards, Sherrie. --- http://www.silkweb.com.au/ On Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:05:59 +1100, Mary <[email protected]> wrote: > Sadly not so true for me Ray.

Hi Sherrie, Unfortunately, I do not have any info at the moment about where Timothy and his other children were born, only Ireland. I was sent a printout of a census of Mons. showing a Timothy Felscharold, widower, with 2 daughters Eleanor,b.1825 and Mary Ann b.1835. This looks like him but cannot trace his movements until Mary Ann married Thomas HOOLEY in SwanseA 1857. No mention of Eleanor anywhere, even in Mary Anns childrens namesOn her marriage certificate, she is shown as being born in Ireland, but I have thought that maybe she was really born in Wales with her parents from Ireland. Checked this out but no results. Timothy was shown as a widower in all the cencuses I have seen until his marriage to his housekeeper in 1865 and dying in 1872 all Swansea. I have both these certificates and have searched them for clues but only Ireland mentioned as birthplace.. He named his father as Redmond but cannot find him at the present Lots of interruptions at the moment so not getting too much searching done. So if anyone on this list can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful. Thanks for you reply Sherrie, Kind regards, Mary Original Message ----- From: "Sherrie Blackman" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-KERRY] Finding ancestors in Ireland without a tip > Hi Mary, > > Have you purchased any of Timothy's children's birth certificates? > > For years my GGG Murphy just had Cork, Ireland on all his documents too. > > I had all his 12 children from the indexes, however 10 yrs later (and for > another reason) > I purchased one of the children's birth certificates and it gave me the > town in the County. :) > > You might just be lucky enough to find a County mentioned on one of > the children's Birth certificates. > > Kind regards, > Sherrie. > --- > http://www.silkweb.com.au/ > > > On Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:05:59 +1100, Mary <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Sadly not so true for me Ray.
