Christopher Timmons were born 1810, 1816, 1855 and 1857, both 1810 & 1857 had a father Michael. Elizabeth Perkins births 1815 and 1859 - no marriages 4 Marriages for the name Michael 1854, 1873, 1882 and 1899. No records for Dublin City. Griffiths Valuation is a census substitute but guessing at Michael's age as born 1849 he would of been too young to have his own land. Thee were two Timmon's in Kildare at this time Patrick Timmons, Churchtown Parish, Cardington Townland leasing 19Acres; Stephen Timmons, Parish Killashee, Mullacash, N. Townland leasing house, office and land 15Acres. In the Directories there were 4 names which came with two spellings, Timmins, Timmens and Timon. Timmins for 1894: Dora Timmins, Shopkeeper 1 Clarendon Row, Dublin James Timmins, householder 14 Summerhill Parade Joseph Timmins, bootmaker 175 James St. Samuel Timmins, clothes broker, 1 Dawson Row Kildare: 1824 Patrick Timmons, Public House, Kildare, Kildare 1881 Catherine Timmons, Williams St. Athy, Kildare Two of my favourite websites for Ireland do not have much for Kildare: www.censusfinder.com United Kingdom Ireland Kildare www.igp-web.com Kildare www.familysearch.org now has a new PILOT program where there are records for bmd's. This program is found under 'search records'. For bmd's after 1864 you can get copies from www.groireland.ie or take the microfilm numbers to your nearest Latter Day Saints History Center to view the film. I have a CD of Civil Registrations but only for the years 1864-1875, and Christopher 1869 is not on it for Kildare nor Dublin (County Dublin). I then removed the county and made it all Ireland, but the only Christopher had different parents. The only explanation I can think of that this CD doesn't include Dublin City itself. I also tried leaving the children blank and just putting Michael Timmons and Elizabeth Perkins as parents-no matches. I looked at the 1911 Census but couldn't find a Christopher that would of been around 42 in Dublin. No Michael age about 72, nor an Elizabeth Timmons of the right age. Thought I could be helpful but I can't be. Annette Code 'genealogy for fun' Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
