Hi list I know I've put this query up before, but here it is again ........ My gg-grandfather, John Byrne (wife Dorothy Fitzpatrick), born c. 1840 (probably) in Arklow, drowned at sea. He was a fisherman. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea when or where (except that it had to be after 1869/70)! One of his sons (John jnr or Michael) is also supposed to have been drowned at sea, but NOT in the same incident. Again, no idea where/when, but Michael was born 1870, and John jnr c. 1867. I've browsed different sites over the years, but never found anything. Can anybody point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advance Colette

On November 2, Cara asked to be 'unconfused' about the Masseys. I will do my best ... <James Blakeney Massey and Harriet Chapman 1- George Blakeney Massey born Delgany 29th May 1868 2-Anne Massey born 29th May 1868 Delgany 3-Harriet Massey born 5th December 1873 ( Married When ?)> James and Harriet are MINE - my great great grandparents. James is a son of George Massey and Ann Mahon. James and Harriet were married on 6 May 1867 at St. Kevin's Church, Dublin. Their third child was William, my great grandad, born 28 Jan 1872 (in the Delgany records). Harriet was the fourth child, died in infancy. James was a land steward and they moved to Kerry, Cork and Wexford and had five more children. <Richard Massey and Anne Donnelly 1- Dora Massey born Newcastle 6/8/1868 2-William Massey born 2/7/1871 Delgany ( Married When?)> Richard and James B are related - I think James is a cousin of Richard's father. Richard and Anne married on 24 Dec 1860 in Taney, Dublin. Their children included: Katherine (1864), Marianne (1866), Dora (1868) William (1871), Samuel Richard (1874). <Thomas James Whitton son of Daniel married Jane Massey daughter of Edward 31/5/1862 Delgany at this marriage for a Jane father is listed as George Massey of Delgany> This Jane Massey is the daughter of Edward Massey. My notes of their marriage are as follows: "1862 May 31 Thomas James Whitton farmer of Windgates son of Daniel Whitton farmer, married Jane Massey of Newtown ??{Vevay?] parish of Bray daughter of Edward Massey farmer married at Delgany." <But to add further mystery to my own files there is another Jane a daughter of Edward who married Edward Massey son of Edward She was aged 22 and her groom aged 26. and daughter of George Massey.> This Jane Massey is a sister of James Blakeney Massey and the daughter of George. Jane was born 30 November 1834. My guess (unproven) is that her groom Edward Massey had a sister Jane Massey and their father was Edward. Jane and Edward junior emigrated to London, Ontario, Canada to join other Wicklow rellies. They did not seem to have any children are both are buried in London, Ontario. My notes say: "1855 May 19, Edward Massy 26 farmer of Templecarrig son of Edward Massy farmer married Jane Massy 22 of Redford daughter of George." <So is there two families with fathers named Edward? one who has Edward who then married Jane Massey daughter of George ( yes I am repeating myself) but I have myself confused at the moment> I think there is one Edward father but there are two Jane Masseys - one is Edward's daughter and one is George's daughter. Cheers, Annie

<Saturday 3rd March 1906 The Times DEATH MASSEY Massey at his residence Redford, Greystones Co Wicklow James B Massey aged 78.> <snip> Hi Cara - thanks for posting this - this is one of three James Blakeney Masseys all born within about five years of each other in this neck of the woods (Delgany, C of I parish). He is not my direct ancestor James Blakeney Massey (who died a few years earlier, we know not where exactly), but he would have been a cousin of some sort. Annie

Tim asks: === Could SKS please let me know the location of Ballsallagh === Tim, There are the adjacent townlands of Ballysallagh East and West, "way across" the county in Dunganstown civil parish, about 6 miles NE of Arklow town and just a mile from the sea. But these townlands are more than 25 miles east of Baltinglass town. I think a more likely choice could be found across the border into Co. Carlow. There are two Ballysallagh townlands - Upper and Lower versions - just a mile or so SE of Hacketstown town, in Hacketstown civil parish. These townlands are about 9 or 10 miles SE of Baltinglass town. Pete .................................................... Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts </HTML>

I have started trying to piece together the Douglas family who seem to have been around Baltinglass in the 1700's. In particular The family of George Douglas born 1784 died 11 May 1862, they seem to be linked to Colemans, Winders, Cramptons, Phoebe Douglas, and Dunckley clans. The name Marlborough seems to be a popular middle name ? Could SKS please let me know the location of Ballsallagh, as George's son William who married Margaret Winder on 12 sep 1846 farmed there ? any help would be much appreciated Tim Kelly

Cara - Have not discussed this family w/Barbara Dowling. 1847/1851 Fitzwilliam Tenant family group ID #601 Laurence Kavanagh 38, Anne Foster Kavanagh 38, James 19, Thomas 16, Laurence 14, denis 12, Ally 10, Charles 8. Both Margaret 22 and John 18 "scratched from list."

Just to let the list know that I found the marriage of GEORGE JENKINSON to HANNAH SMYTH in England in 1866, but I am still looking for the marriage of WILLIAM JENKINSON to HANNAH (may or may not be SMITH) early 1820s.
