Hello Roisin We have corresponded over the years - you may/may not remember that I am researching Fagan/Hanratty families. On reading this email again I felt I should reply to it - for the reason that Hammill's featured as sponsors for my Fagan/Hanratty birth entries. I would like to find out the connection of this family as I believe its possible that they were cousins or related in some way. I got the information about the sponsors from the St Cuthbert's Parish records of North Shields where the Fagans lived. They to'd and fro'd from Monaghan and Louth to North Shields over a 9 year period - according to the birth entries for their 9 children. Was the Hammill referred to in your email related to your Duffy? I'd be interested in reading about this case and would appreciate it if you could give me the link to it. Still searching.

The Northern Standard July 10th 1880, gives the account of the case being referred to the next assizes which may have been soon afterwards... I am searching for the follow up and/or end of the case and would be grateful for any suggestions... apparently Hamill was acquitted. .
