Hello Listers I am back again after a short holiday break and have found exciting information that a SIMS ancestor I have been searching for came from Limerick. Anthony Sims baptized 1820 St Munchin, Limerick, son of Hugh Sims & Lucinda/Lucy Carr, may have been my ancestor who went to Madras as a Private in the 2nd European Regt in 1839. Anthony married in Madras to Charlotte Barker in 1849. However there was a Thomas Sims born about 1843 in Madras with father Anthony and I believe he could be the son of Anthony who was born in Limerick and later married Charlotte Barker. It was not unusual for military men to marry sometime after children were born especially if the mother was an indo-briton or native woman, or perhaps Thomas' birth year was incorrect on his marriage in 1863 to Lydia Thorpe, my ggg aunt. Is anyone researching the above names please, if so I would be delighted to hear from you or if anyone has any information regarding the above families I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you Joan in NSW, Australia

I am also looking for the death of William Higginson sometime after 1792. There is an unknown Higginson death on IFHF 1798 in Limerick - any chance of finding out who it was ?

HI, I have the film for the St. Mary's Cathedral records. What you listed below is the only thing that is listed. There is no mention of parents. I contacted the C of I Archives to see what was listed for my ggggrandparents Paul Hughes and Maria Louisa Fitzgerakd and the only thing listed was what was on the film. I was able to check the newspaper and it provided me with her father's name. What may have helped in my case is Paul was an Ensign with the 79th Cameron Highlanders and Maria's father was an Attorney and Notary.

Valerie, First I would start by trying to get a copy of the marriage certificate from St. Mary's Cathedral in Limerick.  This should give you the name of the father of the bride.  IFHF's marriage certificate should at least also give you the father's name.  It seems almost certain that this is the same gal.  The Griffiths Index could also be of help to you to find out where James and Margaret lived and what he did.  With that info you could prove that you had the same James Russell.  Good luck with this puzzle but think you struck gold with this one, lucky you.   Happy hunting,   Diane ________________________________ From: Valerie B Garton <vbgarton@optusnet.com.au> To: irl-limerick@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, May 6, 2012 10:08 PM Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] Higginson, White & Russell - Are these two women the same person - how can I prove this ? 17 Nov 1787 At Limerick - Married last Saturday, Mr James Russell to Miss Crowe, daughter of the late Mr William Crowe, merchant, handsome fortune. 17 Nov 1787 James Russell married Margaret Crowe at Cathedral St. Mary [C/I] , Limerick, Limerick, Ireland – familysearch.org [16 Jan 1792] Died last Monday on Charlotte Quay, Limerick, Mr James Russell, Pewterer.

I found the name Theobald Barry on "A list of the Rebel prisoners held in Limerick Jail following the Rebellion of 1798, with their sentence", which was reproduced on p. 301 of the book Irish Records: Sources for Family & Local Historians by James G. Ryan (Flyleaf Press, 1988). You can see this page of Ryan's book (p. 371 in a later edition) online here. http://books.google.com/books?id=2zON979t8o8C&pg=PA371&lpg=PA371&dq=%22theobald+barry%22+limerick&source=bl&ots=ctcY5DsMUV&sig=CfAk7a8pxyUbBkS1oDpAOt8ZI2c&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2YqlT6XrDOjWiAKLi73mAg&ved=0CEsQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22theobald%20barry%22%20limerick&f=false This list, which includes many more names than Barry's, was originally printed in North Munster Antiquarian Journal 10 (1) (1966). In trying to learn more about this Theobald Barry, I Googled "Theobald Barry" 1798. One of the hits was from a period newspaper called "True Briton", edition of 13 July 1798, p. 2, image online at http://newspaperarchive.com/true-briton/1798-07-14/page-2/ The article mentions other men too, so I thought I would share it with the list. Here is my transcription of the newspaper article above from True Briton (13 July 1798, p. 2): === LIMERICK, JULY 4. William Ryan Stephen [called William Ryan Stephens in most places - GWB], convicted of breaking into several houses in the county of Limerick, and taking thereout arms, and also swearing several people; was yesterday taken to Cahirconlish, by a detachment of the Royal Limerick cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant BRISCOE, and hanged pursuant to his sentence. His body was brought back and thrown into Croppies' Hole, in the New Jail Yard, appropriated for the interment of Rebels. Messrs. John O'Hogan, William Crowe, -- M'Knight [called Thomas McKnight on the list in Ryan's book - GWB], Andrew Kenny, and M. Considine [called M. Considine in Ryan - GWB], were ordered by the General Court Martial to be liberated from prison, on giving bail, which was complied with, and they were discharged. Yesterday Thomas Madigan was released without bail. Theobald Barry to be liberated, on giving bail for future good behaviour. John Quinn acquitted, and liberated. Patrick Wallis [called Patrick Wallace in Ryan - GWB] was yesterday convicted, on the most unequivocal of testimony, of raising a subscription to pay for the assassination of Charles S. Oliver, Esq. and conspiring against the life of ---- Barret, who had given Mr. Oliver the information; also with a deep plan of subverting the Constitution. He is to be hanged to-morrow at Kilfinan, and his head to be affixed on one of his own pikes, and placed on the Castle of Kilfinan [sic, Kilfinnane - GWB]. === To use newspaperarchive.com, you need a subscription (which I have), but it seems anyone is allowed to view two newspapers per day there as a guest user without a subscription. With a little more research, I discovered that the name Theobald Barry appears in Griffith's Valuation as an occupier in the townland of Cloongowna, civil parish Kilnamona, County Clare (printing date 15 September 1855). Whether he was related in any way to the Theobald Barry of 1798, I cannot say. However, some of the other surnames appearing in the above paragraph with Barry also appear in the civil parish of Kilnamona. Were they perhaps all perhaps from Clare (rather than County Limerick) and arrested together in the same "event"? I have so far not found out any more... If anyone happens to know more about this Theobald Barry or the reason he was arrested, please let me know. Most of the references I have found to the names in the article above concentrate on those who were hanged.

Updated extracts from US Consulate in Ireland - identify the townland 1914 - 1934 a few with earlier dates This month, I have added 900 extracts of names, dates and Irish townlands from documents in the correspondence files of the United States Consulate at Dublin, Ireland written in the years 1914 to 1934, a few of the items have information on births prior to 1864. The United States had Consulate offices, which are the official representative of the US Government, in several cities in Ireland. Many individuals living in Ireland and the United States would write letters to the US Consul requesting help with topics such as citizenship, estates, birth & death records and pensions. The site is at http://sites.google.com/site/irishgleanings/ These records exist for only a small number of Irish people and only for limited years. Use the search function of the web browser to locate names and places. If you don't find your ancestor, search for their brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or cousins. Hope this helps your search.

John: Just happened across this message. I am wondering what (hopefully) you man know about John and Mary O'Connor who lived at 27 Williams street in Limerick City. John died of cholera in 1849 and Mary (O'Mara O'Connor) died in 1851 leaving children Reginald (aka Gerald/RJA/O'Connor age 9 and Mary Anne aged 7. The cildren were care for by their aun and uncle (Ellen OMara and Patrick Guthrie) and were taken to the US to join other family members in Illinois in about 1855. RJA was killed during the Civil War as a Union soldier. This family continues to be a BIG brick wall. The Guthrie family members ended up settling in the vicinity of Des Moines, Iowa. The father (Patrick) died in Ireland in 1849 . The mother, Bridget Cusack, died in Iowa in 1872. Please keep us in mind !!! Thank you.

My great grandfather was Jeremiah Buckley who died in Moyvane Co Kerry on 23 October 1885 age 59. I've always regarded him as a Kerryman, but recent research suggests that he may have originated just across the border in Co Limerick from the townland of Knockbrack in the parish of Abbeyfeale (or perhaps Rathronan?). Certainly the Tithe Applotment for Knockbrack shows a Darby Buckley paying a tithe of 15s 2d. Griffith's Valuation shows Jeremiah Buckley, Michael Buckley & Timothy Scanlon sharing a couple of plots amounting to about 65 acres. I believe Darby and Jeremiah are the same name. A Jeremiah Buckley aged 62 was enumerated at Knockbrack in the 1911 Census. I believe he lived near a place called Buckley's Cross. I believe this was the same Jeremiah who married Catherine Buckley from Kilbaha at Moyvane on 26 March 1875. Is there anyone on this list researching this family? John Buckley

Corrine, The site is: https://familysearch.org/ You will see the link to the Catalog at the top. You can search for the County or try a Keyword search for naturalization.
