I wish an end to all of the complaining that goes on on this list. If something can't be found,maybe it is not there! There are a great many brick walls in Irish research, no fault of organisations like IFHF. Far to many people get angry if they pay money & there are not results, this is what research is all about. If you can't afford to research maybe you should give it away, I don't think that it is going to get any cheaper as more & more people are researching these days. I have many books & Irish records are very splintered, a lot of them are not complete. I have been told that there are many many records that are still not cataloged as yet & there lies another problem, finding volunteers. A great many of us get good results from these places, we are the silent ones. Robyn

The New York Herald (New York, NY) Sunday, January 20, 1861; pg. 4; col F Obits OBITUARY. Death of Lola Montez, the Actress, Danseuse and Lecturer. [Transcriber's Note: birth name: Maris Delores Eliza Rosanna Gilbert] This remarkable woman closed her earthly career in this city on Thursday last, after a long and severe illness, and was quietly buried yesterday. But few women have seen so many ups and downs in life as she, or been obliged to battle with human nature in so many forms as it has fallen to her lot. She had known society in all its varied forms -- at one time greeted with applause from a multitude of votaries, and then again being obliged to flee in disguise from the enraged populace. Lola Montez was of Irish and Moorish-Spanish descent, and was born in the city of Limerick, Ireland, in 1824. Her father was a captain in the Forty-fourth regiment of the English army, and a son of Sir Edward Gilbert. Her mother was an Oliver, and a descendant from Count de Montalvo, who at one time possessed immense estates in Spain. The Montalvos were of Moorish origin, and emigrat0 ed to Spain during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, the Catholic. Her father was only about twenty and her mother fifteen when they were married, and Lola was born during the second year of their marriage. AT her baptism she was christened Maris Delores Eliza Ro- sanna Gilbert, she was afterwards called Dolores, from which she derived her name Lola. But a short time after her birth the forty-fourth regi- ment, in which her father was captain, was ordered to India. After a long and tedious voyage they landed at Calcutta and remained there nearly three years, when the army was ordered to Dinapore, some distance in the interior, by the Governor General, Lord Hastings. They had not been on the Ganges but a short time before the cholera broke out in their ranks with terrible violence, and the father of Lola was one of its first victims. The widow Gilbert, being young and handsome, soon found herself the centre of attraction. She however, re- mained in widowhood but a short time, and was let to the altar the second time by Captain Craigie, of the same regiment as young Gilbert and a warm friend of the lat- ter. Her husband had committed her and little Lola to his charge on his death bed. Soon after the marriage Craigie was advanced to the rank of major. At the age of six Lola was sent to Europe and placed in the charge of Major Craigie's father, residing at Mon- trose, in Scotland. The latter had been Provost of Mon- trose for nearly a quarter of a century, and every event connected with his household was a matter of public note. The arrival of Lola was, therefore, soon known to all Montrose. For some cause or other her parents obtained the idea that she was being petted too much, consequently she was removed to London and placed in the family of the Commander-in-Chief of the Bengal forces, Sir Jasper Nichols. With the daughters of Sir Jasper Nichols she was sent to Paris to school, and after spending several years there Miss Fanny Nichols and young Lola were sent to Bath to finish their education. She remained there about eighteen months, at the expiration of which time her mother returned from India. Lola was then about fourteen years of age. She was informed by her mother that she had come home to take her back to India. The enormous amount of dressmaking caused suspicion in young Lola's mind, and upon further in- quiries she was informed by Captain James that her mo- ther had promised her in marriage to Sir Abraham Lum- ly, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of India, and about sixty years old. This piece of intelligence aroused her anger, and in a defiant tone she informed her mother that she would never consent. A family quarrel follow- ed, and in her despair she appealed to Captain James for assistance. On the next day the latter eloped with her to Ireland, where Captain James' family resided. After a great deal of trouble they were finally married. They had been married but about eight months when Captain James left for India to join the army. Spending a season at Calcutta the army was ordered to Kurwai, in the interior, where, but a few months after their arrival, her husband eloped with a Mrs. Lemer, leaving her, as she termed herself, "a little grass widow" at the mercy of her friends. Lola was immediately sent back to Calcutta, where her mother resided. Her reception and treatment there was somewhat cruel. She was locked up in her chamber by her mother until a certificate was procured from a phy- scian that she was in ill health and must be sent to Eu- rope. Her stepfather showed his disapproval of this treatment by handing her a check for a thousand pounds as she stepped on board of the vessel to sail for Europe. Those who had charge of her on this voyage were di- rected to place her in the charge of Mr. David Craigie, re- siding at Perth, Scotland. But upon her arrival at Lon- don she refused to go there, and went to reside with a gifted lady by the name of Fanny Kelly. She decided upon becoming and actress but being deficient in English it prevented her from making an immediate appearance. It was therefore settled that she should become a dan- suese. Studying that art for four months, under the in- struction of a teacher, she paid a brief visit to the Mon- talvos in Spain, when she returned to London and made her debut at her Majesty's theatre. As soon as her mother received the news of that event, she put on mourning and sent out funeral cards to all of her friends, and has to this day refused to see or com- municate with her. The debut was considered a success- ful one, but owing to some financial difficulty the en- gagement was broken off, and she soon after appeared at the Royal Theatre in Dresden. Her appearance there created a great furor, and she at once became a favorite of the royal families. Leaving Dresden, she made a suc- cessful tour at both Berlin and Warsaw, attracting marked attention from the royal families whenever she appeared. At the latter place, on being hissed, she rushed to the footlights, and declared that they came from the director, because she had refused gifts from his master. For this expression she was obliged to leave Warsaw, and it was only through the interference of the French Consul that her arrest was prevented. Her next appearance was at St. Petersburg. On leav- ing the latter place she visited Paris, and forming the acquaintance of Dujarrier, editor of La Press and one of the leader of the republican party, in his society formed a taste for politics, and learned from him to hate tyranny and oppression in every form that it showed itself, and became an enthusiastic republican. She pledg- ed herself in marriage to Dujarrier, but before the day fixed upon for the nuptials her betrothed was killed in a duel by Beauvellon. After this melancholy affair she left Paris for Bavaria and again appeared on the theatrical stage at Munich. Her manners and originality attracted the notice of King Louis, who, ascertaining that she was versed in political matters, received her counsels and promoted her to the nobility as a reward for her political services. She soon after became Countess of Lansfeld, with an income of seventy thousand florins per annum. In this influential position she used every effort to put in practice those principles that she had learned of Dujarrier. Her first effort was to induce the King to abolish the Ministry? which had stood for a quarter of a century, and prevailed upon him to form a new Cabinet without any regard to the nobility, taking them from the ranks of the people. This act aroused a furious rage against her, not only in Bavaria, but throughout Germany. With a storm gathering about her head, she continued her reformatory movements, to the great consternation of the tyrants that had grown fat with power. Her next effort was an attempt to introduce the Code Napoleon as the laws of the land. This was more than the enraged nobi- lity would bear. All manner of devices were resorted to by the Jesuits, as well as the nobility, to get rid of her. They tried coaxing, bribing and then threatening, but to no avail. At length a revolution broke out, and she finding herself unable to resist it, left the country dis- guised as a peasant girl and sought refuse in the land of William Tell. Her career in Bavaria brought down upon her head the most bitter calumnies from the Jesuits, which has fol- lowed her, poisoning the atmosphere wherever she went following her even to this country. Remaining in Swit- zerland a short time, she visited the King of Bavaria disguised in boy's clothing. Returning to Switzerland she hastened off to London, and afterwards to Paris where she resided a number of years. Shattered in for- tune and broken in health she turned her attention to this country, and found her way to our shores in the same ship that brought Kossuth. About two months ago, she, then being ill, came to this city, and, by invitation, took up her abode with Mrs. Bu- chanan, the wife of the celebrated florist, who knew Lola in Scotland, they being in their younger days school com- panions. Lola gradually grew worse, although the best of medical skill was employed and everything supplied her calculated to alleviate her sufferings. About two weeks ago she began to sink, and being aware of the fact her whole time was occupied in devotions exercises. But in this respect, anterior to the period we allude to, she exhibited a marked change of her previous life. Her whole desire seemed bent toward engaging in religious conversation with everybody with whom she came in contact and in them she exhibited deep knowledge on theological subjects. During the last week of her life she sent for and was attended by the Rev. Dr. Hawks, of Calvary church, and was also attend- ed by members of the congregation of the church, and to them while engaged in religious conversation, she ex- hibited a thorough repentance for her past errors? in? life. On Thursday, the day she died, Dr. Hawks was at her bedside and when asked by the clergyman if she still thought she had found forgiveness with her Savior, not being able to speak she nodded assent. She was then asked if she thought she had found full forgiveness for her past and she promptly signified the affirmative. After her death the kind friends who attended her in her sickness took pains to make the funeral as respectable as possible and indeed, we may say it was all that an event of this pecu- liar nature could be. The funeral took place yester- day. The Episcopal funeral services was at Mr. Buchanan's house, and the funeral cortege which was quite large and attended by some of our most res- pectable citizens and their families, proceeded to Green- wood, where the body was enterred.

Like Kathy, I think it can't hurt to consider the sponsors. Trying to pin down my NESTORS, supposedly from Ennis, but knowing that Mary Ann was baptised in Askeaton, I had a little trawl through the IFHF, and this is what I found. My Mary Ann NESTOR'S sponsors were Thomas NESTOR and Mary DOWNES. (Thomas is a name in my family even today) A John NESTOR (not mine, but one of 'my' names) born 1845, had as his sponsors Thomas NESTOR and Margaret COSTELLOE. A Mary NESTOR was born 20 October 1845, her father was Thomas Nestor, and her mother was Margaret NEVILLE. The sponsors were Michael and Mary O'BRIEN. Place of baptism, Askeaton I don't know what the significance is, but I'm sure it's not all coincidence. Perhaps someday it'll all tie together. I wish! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ellen Chambers" <maryln61@sbcglobal.net> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 2:22 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] Questions on Sponsors on Roman Catholic Baptisms > Kathy~ > I do not think one should ignore the sponsors in any sacramental > record found.

Limerick papers please copy. Note1: One portion of this cemetery is in Brooklyn with the other portion of it being in Queens. In 1852 the Common Council of NYC passed a law prohibiting any more burials in Brooklyn/Manhattan--so based on the date of death this person is likely buried in the QUEENS portion of this cemetery. Most of the burials in the Brooklyn/Manhattan portion of the cemetery were of poor Irish children under the age of 7. The very first Shanahan in my family line to be born on USA soil [Patrick Joseph Shanahan 17 Mar 1862-16 Aug 1862] is buried in the Queens portion of the cemetery.
