Susan I don't think there is a connection but the details of my Geraghty ancestors are as follows: Grandfather - Andrew Geraghty - born 1881 in Russellstown near Mullingar. G. Grandparents - Joseph Geraghty - Born 1850, married in 1869 in Mullingar Rose Cuffe (born in 1849) G.G. Grandparents - Edward and Rose Geraghty I am currently trying to find out more information on the Geraghtys and have looked in the current Irish telephone directory for the number of Geraghtys in Westmeath and there are lots! If I find any further information which may be a connection to your family I shall forward it to you. Maire

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank the following who very kindly and quickly responded to my query regarding Kenny - West Meath (was it really only yesterday?). To Kate Miller Thanks for the comprehensive list of ideas to pursue. It almost reads like a "do-it-yourself" genealogy manual. Thanks for your time. To Jackie Neal Thanks for your specific Kenny information. I will look forward to receiving any further info. If there is a connection between the families I do have much information upon William Kenny of Liverpool and his descendants if it would be of any interest. Thanks once more.

Hi Tony, Vicki, and listers, Could I throw my Moran clan into the mix??? My ggg gm Elizabeth Moran was b in Co Westmeath 1783. She had at least one known brother, Charles Moran, b 1783. My best guess is that they were prob from Rathowen, or perhaps the Boherquille - Streete vicinity. Elizabeth m @ 1810 to John Mahedy, b 1781, Co Longford...perhaps Coolamber/Steete They settled in Sherrington, Quebec, Can 1829/30.... Chas may have gone there earlier....... Thanks, Dan

Hi, Jim of Florida: I would appreciate receiving the information you have on the children of Elizabeth Kelly and Patrick Eighan. Of course, my basic problem remains, i.e., to prove a relationship between the Elizabeth Kelly and Patrick Kelly you mention and my Peter and Michael Kelly. Maybe I'll be able to solve it one of these days. I'm curious - how were you able to research the marriage and baptism records of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rochfortbridge? When I was there about 20 years ago, the priest just opened the register, pointed to an entry for Peter Kelly and filled out the form certifying that Peter Kelly was baptized in 1842 and that his parents were Michael Kelly and Ann McDonnell. Have times really changed there? Were you given access to the registers themselves and allowed to go through them yourself? Were you given a printout of all computerized records or purchased same? I'd like to get copies of these records myself to be able to search for information on the marriage or Michael Kelly to Ann McDonnell and on any siblings of their son, Peter Kelly. Obviously, a printout would be preferable, as I may never get back to Ireland to do research again. I'd appreciate receiving any thoughts you may have on how I can solve my research problem. Thanks, John M. Kelly __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Share your holiday photos online! http://photos.yahoo.com/

Message text written by INTERNET:[email protected] >< Jim: Will look through the marriage records for St. Anthonys when I next travel into the Liverpool Record Office & if I see some Claffey births I will mention them too !!. I looked through The Tubber Parish records recently & there were a number of entries linking Geoghegan & Claffey but I presume you have searched those records already regards Peter G

I have done alot of research in Westmeath on KENNY That's my husband grandfathers family. They were from Rochfoirtbridge Meedin area. I have a print out of the births. I just took a qick look and there is a Patrick married to a Bridget but they have children same year about as your Daniel. I will work on it in the morning. I also have notes from Mullingar about Patricks and thought maybe we were related to them. I only have three children born to a blank Kenny in the year 1811. Haven't been able to find their first names. The children were JOHN, THOMAS and JAMES. They lived in CASTLELOST. I will write asgain tomorrow. Jackie

Hi everyone, my name is Angela Allen & i live in Banbury Oxfordshire. I have joined this list hoping someone may be able to help me with information on the following; George YOUNG, was my great grandfather & came from somewhere in Ireland. ATHLONE, seemed a good place to start looking for him as i have postcards he sent to his wife in 1914 from Saint-Nazaire to, no.12 High Street, Athlone. Another postcard sent in 1917 was to a Mr HANLON, c/o Mrs A YOUNG, no. 8 High St. Athlone, from their friend 'Darkie', along with a christmas card from him with 14th (Light) Division on the front of it. >From the family bible; George YOUNG, was born 18/7/1880 but we don't know where! Marriage cert. 5/2/1906 at Parish of St. Michael,Coventry, in the Counties of Coventry & Warwick. George YOUNG, age 25, bach, Gunner in Royal Artillery, place of residence 'The Barracks', father CHARLES YOUNG, profession of father 'Carter'. & Annie Eleanor ARIS, age 20, spin, place of residence 'White Lion Hotel' father Mark ARIS, Labr. of Middleton Cheney Northants. Children found for George & Annie( these dates are from the family Bible, & i have not found baptisms around Oxon or N'hants for the first 4 girls, so i think George & Annie must have returned to Ireland soon after their marriage at Coventry in 1906. At some point they came back to live in England in Middleton Cheney, N'hants) Phyliss Elizabeth, born 26/10/1907 -, Bapt ??, died 3/11/1907 Dorothy, born 26/11/1908 - , Bapt ??, died 22/11/1961, (My Grandmother) Kathleen, born 4/6/1911 -- bapt 14/5/1912 at Presbyterian Church of Athlone , by R. Wallace?, died 8/9/1987 ( I have the blue, Certificate of Baptism for this , dated 24/7/1915 at the very bottom) Annie, born 28/8/1914, bapt ?? , died 18/4/1997 John Richard, born 24/10/1919, bapt 20/6/1922, died 25/6/1922 Ada Adelaide, born 14/9/1921, bapt 20/6/1922, died 30/7/1945 Richard Arthur, born 27/1/1924, bapt ??, died 7/2/1924 George YOUNG died 23/11/1944 at Middleton Cheney, N'hants I'm not sure how Irish records work never having used them. But if any info can be found Re. where George was born or his parents names or brothers & sisters he might have had, that is if anyone can find him! I will be SO grateful, because i have always promised my dad i WILL find out where his doting grandfather came from, & time is running out on that promise for dad & me! The only thing i can add to this rather long first enquiry is, i remember as a child my gran saying something about her dad living in Belfast. If anyone ever requires look-ups for Banbury i'm more than happy to do them for you. Thanks for making it to the end of this, Best Wishes Angela Allen
