Carole In Wicklow County, I have a Lawrence Byrne (1795 - 1866), he was the brother to William Byrne (who is in the line I'm researching) ( I have 5 brothers - William, George, Owen, James and Lawrence) sons of George Byrne (1765 - 1830) . I have limited info on Lawrence, but it at some point you think there's a match let me know, and I'll make sure to share what I find on him.

I have just uploaded more of Part 4 Enniskerry graveyard. The photos and transcription was done by Joyce Tunstead. The name is -- St.Patrick’s, Enniskerry. Part Four To view go to: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ Click on WICKLOW and then Headstones. Cheers, Christina ===============================

I meant to say That Patrick Byrne, a mariner on his marriage certificate wed Letitia Holt (not Byrne). Cheers Carole

Since we're talking about Byrne, I have a Patrick Byrne married Letitia Byrne 1845 in Liverpool, England. I think Patrick was born in Ireland as my Holt family came from there about 1826. The marriage certificate gives his father as Lawrence Byrne, corn dealer. Patrick was full age so born before 1825. Witnesses to the marriage were Michael and Ann Carroll. I would love to know more about this Byrne family. Regards Carole

Thanks Pete - I hadn't heard of this one. I am trawling physically through the Cork depositions (1900+ of them - I'm about two thirds through) and found many placename variations. Also name spelling variations - a challenge for researchers!! In addition, there are names there which do not come up on the search function, so the trawl could be worthwhile, expecially if you are interested in a county with less depostions than Cork. But what a resource - stunning.

As you can see I have left nothing of the previous mails in this mail...........I would appreciate it if you all took the time to do this also, in as much just leave in the mail was is relative to you mail. As it is the Cullen Byrne etc mail has become so congested no one would be able to decipher it at all. So may I begin the mail again by asking some questions 1- Has a passenger list been found with these names on it proving when they left Ireland and from where? 2- The religion has been stated as Roman Catholic 3- I became a little lost on whether James Fitzpatrick was a man or a woman 4- What did they work at in their new place of living 5- Could children be listed with full names and ages of births 6-1857 is around a time when a lot of people were leaving certain areas as work was scarce, and some folk went to England before branching out and moving on to Australia, or Canada, New Zealand and even Tasmania. 7- No passenger registers exist for anyone who left Ireland in this time frame, as they were place aboard a steam packet, or used as human ballast heading to anywhere, destination unknown. Or they caught a mail boat from Dublin and crossed to Liverpool and such and went from there to their new homes. 8-And although this seems a little bit pedantic it does fine tune the search a little more 9- Feel free to share an email with who ever you like, but at least those returning to the list need to have some of the body of the mail removed. 10 - Change the Subject line to suit the body of the mail please. Sorry to be a bother but in the past these sort of mails have only ever been (proven over time) a wast of space in the archived material, and most people simply delete a mail that has no interest to them so therefore you need to make you Subject, direct and eye catching and be held together by the content of the email being posted.

I have a Richard Burne who married a Margaret Unknown and had a Mary Burn in 1845 In Avoca area dont know if they are yours as I dont have much more on them. Let me know if you need to know the townland. The problem is that the Burne/Burn family in this area were in the beginning linked to the protestant religion and a family of that said name still live in the area. If you were to visit the man who is related to the Burne/Burn family he will relate that one of the girls went out the window and run off to marry, possibly a Catholic but he has the happy knack of changeing the name of the girl to suit the people researching the family.

Hello Ann, You may have contacted the wrong person as your email was addressed to Mike, however I am pursuing the Short/Byrne family from Glendalough and finally Kilegar/Keelogue before the emigrated to Australia. Interestingly they emigrated with the Cullen family and some marriages took place between the Byrnes and Cullens. James Short b? married Anne Byrne b30.01.1824, married in Glendalough 08/02/1850, emigrated to Australia with family 1881. Good luck with your search, seems the Irish connection is a bit of a conundrum. Thanks for the search tips. Good luck with your quest. Regards June.

Carol and Patsy, === Do we already know about this site from Trinity College? Its about a rebellion in 1641, that i have to admit know anothing about--- yet:) http://tinyurl.com/5t2mfk3 === It's interesting to see this website, as I have recently received an interlibrary loan (from Oregon, no less - a distance record for me) of Mary Hickson's 1884 two-volume set, "Ireland in the Seventeenth Century or The Irish Masscres of 1641-2". This book is the first reference listed on the above Trinity College website, under the section on "About" and then "further reading". The Hickson book might be useful as an adjunct to the Trinity College site, if it contains the desired deposition(s). The book has far-fewer depositions (only about 205 or so), but it includes additional information, such as some Records of the High Court of Justice, from 1652-4, and many addenda sections relating to various plantations, letters, misc. documents...... over 150 pages of these. Additionally, the depositions in the book have occasional placename-spelling variations when compared with the website, and the book includes notes and comments on most of the depostions - which don't appear in the Trinity College website. It might be worth your while to take a look at this book, if you're interested in the depositions. I don't know just how available this book is......you'd probably have to search www.worldCat.org for libraries near you, or check nearby academic libraries.

Yes, these are a great resource and it's wonderful to see them online at last. Astonishing that the handwritten 'minutes' of these hearings have survived almost 370 years, and the transcriptions make searching much easier. County Cork has almost 2000 depositions, many giving great family relationships. Of course, the deponents are largely English Protestant settlers seeking compensation for losses during the 'rebellion' so they are most valuable for those researching Anglo-Irish ancestors. However, there are plenty of 'locals' named in them as well. A fascinating glimpse at the times, in the people's own words. Thanks for posting the tinyurl - always really handy to have!

An authentic history of the Lawrence calamity, embracing a description of the Pemberton Mill, a detailed account of the catastrophe, a chapter of thrilling incidents, list of contributions to the relief fund, names of the killed and wounded, abstracts of the sermons on the subject, report of the coroner's inquest, &c A large number were Irish http://www.archive.org/details/authentichistory00dyer _________________________________________ Victims Names on pgs 54 - 57 in above e-book Estimates of the number killed by the collapse and subsequent fire vary from 90 to 145. Most were recent immigrants, either Irish or Scots, many of them young women. A 2002 fictionalization of the disaster recounted: Flames spread rapidly, and now terror of fire threatened those waiting to be saved. Mary Bannon, pinned in the wreckage, handed her pay envelope to the friend comforting her and asked that it get to her father. 'Bid him goodbye for me,' she said, 'You will be saved; I will not'. While Irish and Scots were the majority, the list of the Pemberton Mill's casualties is indicative of New England’s labor force at that time. There were also Yankees from Maine and New Hampshire, immigrants from Germany and Switzerland, and others. All the churches of Lawrence — Baptist, Catholic, Congregationalist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian, Unitarian, and Universalist — had parishioners to console after the disaster.

Hi Mike All of this information is just a shot in the dark. I have nothing more to go on other than the fact that my family (Byrne) came from the Fitzwilliam Estate in Co Wicklow in 1847. If indeed your family had an estate there is no chance of a connection to this bunch but here goes. There were Cullens and Fitzpatricks living near my Byrne family in Ireland and where they settled in Canada. They are all fairly common names - Byrne is the most common surname in Wicklow. Our bunch settled in Ontario and some of the children moved to Ogdensburg NY area with their families in the late 1800s, to work on the lake boats. One of the Byrne grand-daughters married a Matthew Cullen circa 1905. My great grandmother was a Fitzpatrick but her family was from Co Cavan I believe. You could check Griffiths Valuation which is online. I have some FW estate papers from one or two townlands for 1860 and earlier. They do not provide wives or childrens names, just numbers of sons and daughters but it gives the occupation of the father. If he was something other than a farmer it could be a lead. I could send them to you offline if you like. It's from a very very small area and if they happened to be from there it would be quite a coincidence. However, that's how I found my bunch. If they lived near the border of Co Carlow you might find some baptism records in the Parish records of Clonegal which are online. My family lived in Wicklow but went to church in Clonegal, Co Carlow just a few miles from their home place. As an aside I now have relatives living in Baldwin, Maryland, near Baltimore. They are a Byrne/Burns connection but have a different family name now. Our extended family uses every variation of the spelling of the original Byrne.

She immigrated to America in 1877 (per U.S. Census records). They were Catholic. Death record for Katherine Fitzpatrick, and it lists her father as a Cullen and her mother as a Burns. Rose Cullen (probable sister to Katherine) born Dec 1849 in Ireland. She immigrated to America in 1872 (per U.S. Census records). She was married to John Murphy , also of Ireland. Sarah Cullen (sister of Rose), born Nov 1861 in Ireland. She immigrated to America in 1884 (per U.S. Census records). Have limited information on Rose Murphy and her sister Sarah Cullen, basically 1900 and 1910 Census records. Have not been able to locate 1880 Census information, U.S. Immigrations records, nor Death records. In 1900 Census, Rose Murphy (age 50) and her sister Sarah Cullen (age 38) are living a few doors away from Katherine in Washington, D.C. Rose is a widow who had five children. Sarah is single. 1910 Census, Rose (age 65) and Sarah (age 56) are still in Washington, D.C., Sarah is still single at age 56. Mary A. Fitzpatrick (sister of James), born about 1850 in Ireland. Listed in 1870 Census living with probable sister and brother-in-law, Catherine (age 40) and John Burns (age 37), and brother James Fitzpatrick (age 25), and in 1880 Census living with brother and sister-in-law, James and Kate Fitzpatrick. Catherine Burns, nee Fitzpatrick? (probable sister of James) born Aug 1826 in Ireland. Married to John Burns, born Dec 1830 in Ireland. Listed in 1860 Census (age 33) in Washington, D.C., with husband John (age 28). In 1870 Census, she (age 40) is listed with husband John (age 37) and last name shown as Barsons vice Burns.Also listed are children James (age 7), John (age 5) and Aloysius (age 3), as well as James Fitzpatrick (age 25), Mary A. Fitzpatrick (age 20), and Bridget Donahue (age 9). The 1880 Census has Katherine Burns (age 54) with husband John (age 55), children James J. (age 17), John F. (age 14), and Francis A. (age 12), also nieces Katie (age 6) and Mary (age 18) Keough. The 1900 Census shows Catherine (age 73) immigrated to America in 1856, and John (age 69) immigrated in 1857. Family lore has said that both families lived near each other in County Wicklow, but never met until after their arrival in Washington D.C., where James and Kate were married. There is also rumor of a Castle/Estate in the family which may have been lost to taxes in the 1950's. My Great-uncle, Robert Nicholson, offered to pay the back taxes if my mother or her sister would go there and live for a year, but both declined the offer. I know nothing further of this castle or its' location. Two other names of interest were given to me by a family member - William Fitzpatrick of County Cork, Ireland and his wife, Mary Marguerite of Dublin, Ireland. Not sure how they fit in to this picture. Cheers, Michael Kent Island, Maryland
