Hi Joyce, Many thanks for your email. I will order the civil record certs soon (which will have parents names) unless I receive the info from other sources beforehand - it takes two to three weeks to get the records from Roscommon. A search on the List Archives gave the 1866 marriage at Glenealy Church and the bride's father as Robert Manning of Avonbank. I have a connection to Mary-Anne Manning through the Bestall/Mannings of Redcross and as I also have connections to the Ruskell/Johnsons of Castlemacadam, it would be nice to see where it all ties together. Kind regards, Frank The cricket is going very well so far but there's still the Aussies to face! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 1:35 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-WICKLOW] Daniel Johnson and Priscilla Russell > Hi Frank > > In 1854 the fathers' names should have been recorded.

Hi, saw your thread and thought you may be interested in some of my data. I was chatting to my Dad, Joel James (Jim) HIGGINS,(82 years old with a fantastic memory) and he could recall going to Castlemacadam C of I church, where each family had it's own seats and Dad'a pew number was 13. Dad was one of 12 children born to Sydney Patrick HIGGINS 1886-1964 and Ellen nee JOHNSTON 1889-1964, most born at Mill House, Kilcarra, Avoca, Co. Wicklow. Two girls died young, but the rest married (Beck; Lawrence; Carnegie; Ennis; Kendrick; Bower; Dyer; Nichol; & Everett) and I have contact with most of their offspring, as only Dad and two his sisters are still alive. My Dad loves recalling his childhood, so if you have any queries re 1900-1950 in the Avoca area, please let me know, likewise, my Ancestry.com tree is available to view (free of charge); contact me at [email protected] . The Johnson side of my family have been in Wicklow for generations and owned the Avoca store for most of the last century, with Dad and most of the siblings working their at some point in their life. Dad's paternal Grandfather was Captain James HIGGINS 1842-1920, who was brought over from Cornwall, England c 1870, with his wife, Sarah Jane nee Luke 1846-1936, to run the Avoca mines. Captain James became a local JP and they produced 15-17 children. They lived in Tigroney House, Avoca and employed local miners to work the mines. I have a copy of Sarah Jane's obit' that describes life in Avoca during their time there. Also have a group photo of schoolchildren taken at Castlemacadam School c 1924, with most of the children named below the picture, again, just send me an email. I have had some great feedback from rellies, local and sites like this (Cara is an Wicklow data angel), but would alway like to receive some more, as I love this period in my ancestry. Could chat for hours, but must go, but do drop me an email for above info.
