Both Yvonne and I wish to say "thank you" to all those who have shown their appreciation of our work in transcribing Headstone inscriptions for IGP Archives. We have been delighted to hear from a number of people that the Headstones have helped them with their family history and hopefully that will continue in 2009. Just keep praying for some nice weather here in Ireland and we shall soon be out again with our Cameras !! However, we have still some 2008 work to process so keep checking the IGP Archives. We both send "Get Well Soon" messages to Cara, and to all, we wish you a Very Happy, Peaceful and Healthy 2009. Joyce and Yvonne

Tis a fine thing t'do, in the season of Lent. Paul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roger Bury Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 7:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IRL-WICKLOW] Happy New Year! Happy New Year And a bit of irish humor... An Irish man shows up in a pub one day and orders three pints of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty and calls the bartender for three more. The bartender says, 'Sure it's up to yourself, but wouldn't you rather I was bringing them one at a time? Then they'll be fresh and cold.' 'Nah...' your man says, ' I'm preferrin' that ye bring 'em three at a time. You see, me and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good times. Now one is in Australia, the other in Canada and I'm here. We agreed before we split up that we'd drink to each other's honour this way.' 'Well,' says the bartender, 'that's a grand thing to do, all right. I'll bring the pints as you ask.' Well, time goes on and your man's peculiar habit is known and accepted by all the pub regulars. One day though, he comes in and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally, everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A group of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him to find out what happened. With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two pints and says, 'Here's your pints... and let me offer my sincerest condolences. What happened?' The Irish man looks extremely puzzled for a moment, and then starts laughing. 'Oh, no, no, no! 'Tis nothing like that. You see, I've given up drinking for Lent...' *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Jean........ (Aussie - Springbok !) Greetings for New Year I'm just doodling............ Note your ancestors Origins McShane (yr maiden name ) Mayo Thornton Mayo McHale Mayo Brogan Mayo Auld Scotland Old (husband) Cornwall I thought I saw the name Old in the records of Mining employees at Avoca mines in Co Wicklow. However I am unable to access the site today to check at http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ I have a friend Edie Oldham (age 100) with great faculties I understand there is a town of Oldham in greater Manchester England You have probably Googled 'Auld' which is interesting ! There are lots more names Internet - a wonderful resource and McShane has some colourful coats of arms. ! Best wishes in your research Golding Surname: Auld This unusual surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is derived from the Middle English (1200 - 1500) "old", from the Olde English pre 7th Century "eald", meaning old. The word was probably used as a nickname, not necessarily implying old age, but rather used to distinguish an older from a younger bearer of the same given name. A sizeable group of early European surnames were gradually created from the habitual use of nicknames. The nicknames were given in the first instance with reference to a variety of characteristics, such as physical attributes or peculiarities, mental and moral characteristics, supposed resemblance to an animal's or bird's appearance or disposition, habits of dress, and occupation. The modern surname can also be found as Old, Ould, Ault, Aude, Olman and Oldman. The marriage was recorded in London of James Auld and Margarett Brown, on September 18th 1694 at St. James', Dukes Place. A Coat of Arms granted to the family is ermine on a chief red two griffins respecting each other silver, the Crest being a cherub's head proper wings in saltire. The Motto "Virtute et constantia" translates as "By valour and constancy". The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Wulfstan Ealda, which was dated 1060, in the "Old English Bynames", Kent, during the reign of King Edward, known as "The Confessor", 1042 - 1066. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Taken from Parish registers transcribed by myself so all spelling is written as I saw the names, but of course some may be spelt wrong, all corrections gladly received. Cara

Well the time has come ( almost) to say goodbye to the year 2008, and it is almost time to raise the glasses, high, and toast a new year in, so for those of you who have a wee drop,or dram or even a pint or two~ fill your glasses and whether it be half full, or half empty, raise it to your lips and enjoy the thought that the year 2009, has 365 days to ask more questions about your ancestors, and perhaps this may be the year where the mortar holding your brick wall together crumbles, and you find that one piece of the family jigsaw that binds your families past together. Although my walls are full of cracks, I long to see it crumble and fall and find that missing grandad's birth.........see even I am forever hopeful. So I am wishing each and every one of you, a warm and hearty New Year, May all the things you have set as goals, be fulfilled. I sincerely hope to see you all back in the New Year with a few more new people joining daily, the lists membership is growing, so be aware we have new listers, be kind to one another and may 2009 be a good year for all. And the Luck of the Irish be with you. God Bless Cara

Happy New Year And a bit of irish humor... An Irish man shows up in a pub one day and orders three pints of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty and calls the bartender for three more. The bartender says, 'Sure it's up to yourself, but wouldn't you rather I was bringing them one at a time? Then they'll be fresh and cold.' 'Nah...' your man says, ' I'm preferrin' that ye bring 'em three at a time. You see, me and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good times. Now one is in Australia, the other in Canada and I'm here. We agreed before we split up that we'd drink to each other's honour this way.' 'Well,' says the bartender, 'that's a grand thing to do, all right. I'll bring the pints as you ask.' Well, time goes on and your man's peculiar habit is known and accepted by all the pub regulars. One day though, he comes in and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally, everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A group of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him to find out what happened. With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two pints and says, 'Here's your pints... and let me offer my sincerest condolences. What happened?' The Irish man looks extremely puzzled for a moment, and then starts laughing. 'Oh, no, no, no! 'Tis nothing like that. You see, I've given up drinking for Lent...' *************************************** 1- Only leave in the body of the mail what is relevant to your answer 2- Change the SUBJECT LINE to suit the body of your own Mail to List. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Jean I know it's tough trying to trace but it takes a lot of patience and perseverence . I have seen the name Old in my research and I believe it was on the Wicklow Cemetery lists or text. Will keep a note as I browse again but you may also do some browsing - if not done already. Other associated names would be useful too. That is a nice message from Cara ......the words roll off her (tongue) pen like a poets but then having so much association and being influenced by the beautiful Vale of Avoca immortalised by Thomas Moore one would expect those poetical utterances . Thank you Cara and you are wished a healthy and happy New Year after your eventful 2008. So looking forward to giving you a leg up Jean during 2009 Seasons greetings Golding ----- Original Message ----- From: "jean old" <[email protected]> To: "Cara_Links" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-WICKLOW] NEW YEAR ROLLS AROUND > Hi > Even though i dont know if any of my ancestors came from Wicklow > they did come from ireland like everyone else still searching makes it > hard though > when you dont know which part LOL for some of us its only three hours > away.
