I am researching the BURROW(E)S family and would be interested to hear from anyone with information between 1750 and 1850. Any connections with the following, in particular, would be most welcome. 1. Doctor Thomas BURROWS b. abt 1801 Ireland. Married Jane MOTHERWELL and had at least 4 children, Thomas, Alexander, William and Emma - born mid 1830's - 1840. Dr. Thomas BURROWS died 6th August 1883 aged 81 and is buried in Ballysumaghan, Sligo county, Ireland. His wife died 10th December 1875 aged 66. 2. Thomas BURROWES b. 26th July 1801 Dundalk, Louth to Lt. Johnston BURROWES and Mary BURROWES (nee DEVEREUX). 3. Andrew BURROWES b. abt 1813 County Sligo. Convicted of highway robbery and sentenced 1835 to life in NSW Australia. Transported on the ship "Hive" which was shipwrecked and finally arrived Sydney 24th December 1835. Regards David Burrows Australia

Thank you Christina, I will try the research and pray for luck, as I do know the parish but not the town only Co. Longford. Helen

As soon as she had finished parochial school, a bright young girl named Mary shook the dust of Ireland off her shoes and made her way to New York where before long, she became a successful performer in show business. Eventually she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night went to confession in the church which she had always attended as a child. In the confessional Father Sullivan recognized her and began asking her about her work. She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer, and he wanted to know what that meant. She said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she did on stage. She stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father Sullivan, she went into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and backflips. Kneeling near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two middle-aged ladies. They witnessed Mary's acrobatics with wide eyes, and one said to the other: "Will you just look at the penance Father Sullivan is givin' out this night, and me without me bloomers on!"

Just found on Ellis Island that my husband's grandmother Lizzie DEVINE says she is going to her cousin George CALLERAN in Brooklyn. Below is the family in the 1901 census of Ballymahon. When Bessie (Elizabeth) Calleran and children go to Brooklyn in 1909 she has children named Mary, George, Bridget, Norah & Patrick. Does anyone know about this family???

I'm My Own Grandpa Many many years ago when I was twenty-three I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife. To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter who,of course, was my step-mother. Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild. For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.

IRISH DOG Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only his pet, an Irish Setter, for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, my dog is dead, could ya' be sayin' a Mass for the poor creature? Father Mooney replied, "Im afraid not, we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there is a new denomination down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature. Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough to donate for the service?" Father Mooney exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn't ya' tell me the dog was Catholic?" Regards to all... Mary

Patrick moved to a small town in the USA and one night he went to the local bar and ordered three drinks at once, and after drinking them he left. Over the next week he went to the bar several times and each time he ordered three drinks and after drinking them he left. The other customers were curious why he always ordered just three drinks, so the next time he came in one of them asked him, and he said that he had two brothers, Sean in Ireland and Hugh who was in Australia and as they were very close he liked to remember them each with a drink. Well, that's great the other customers said, they must be very close those brothers. Some days later Patrick was in the bar again but he only ordered two drinks, a buzz went around the other customers, and whispered talk "one of Patrick's brothers must have died", and eventually a customer approached Patrick to offer his condolences on the death of his brother, but Patrick said his brothers were both alive and in good health. Well why did you only order two drinks then said the customer, "Oh that, my brother Sean has given up the drink for lent" Michael Woodwards Leighton Buzzard

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave. "S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?" "Nothing," said the Irishman, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives." Susan in rainy BC

To Ron and list, As Ron now knows, but I thought the list might like to know, if you send a message with an attachment or which is written in html rather than plain text, the message will not go through. So, no need to worry. We all do it. I keep my email program on plain text all the time because of the bouncing of html messages.

Hello all, My prior post in response to humour week was inadvertently sent to the list rather than to Christina. It was intended as a private message as is obvious. I apologize to all List members - and especially to Christina - for my late night hours boo-boo. Please use your `delete' key. Oh yes, the attachment intended for Christina, also was a boo-boo being written in RTF format. Ron Davies - he of the red, red face.

Today begins humor week. Feel free to send in your Irish or Genealogical jokes through next Saturday. Cheers, Christina >From a very gloomy, cold Charlotte North Carolina

Me, too. I forwarded your last email to my cousin to see if she has any more information than I have. I don't see where the two sets of Dolans might be connected and there's 100 years separating these Masterson's. If you are interested in the William Dolan line. He had three children who had many of there own, I'll send that info on to you after hearing from my cousin.

Helen, Your best bet is probably church records. Depends on the time frame and the religion. Since you know the townland, you need to figure out the parish and see if there are church records. Longford is blessed in having some church records on film, but what I have seen is hard to read. There is a Longford Research Center too, that will conduct a search for a fee. http://www.mayo-ireland.ie/Geneal/Longford.htm Christina On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 19:08:57 -0500, helen ware wrote: | After finding ancestors(perhaps) in the tax lists of Longford, | before the famine, where do I look now for any records that may be | available once I have townland of person?
