You are welcome at any time to send in your research interests..... however, Rootsweb frowns on putting the term "roll call" in the subject line (tho I know many lists do it....). It messes up the archives as your email is listed under Roll Call not your surname. You should always list SURNAME, first name in subject line. -- note the only thing is caps is the surname, firstname, locations etc are in lower case. See the section on how to write a successful query on the Helpful Hints page url below.

I am hoping that maybe someone else is researching these names and can help to break down my brick wall. The families I am searching are: KING, JAMES possibly from the Portlaw area. Their eldest son Thomas was born in Kilmacow Kilkenny 1811. The remaining siblings, James born 1815, Mary abt 1816, Margaret abt 1827 and Catherine abt 1839, birth place unknown. However, James King son of Thomas baptised 1836 in Parish of Portlaw Diocese of Waterford, has Mary King and C. Gillaker as sponsors and the Rev M Rourk as priest. James King was a miner. He wed Mary or Anty Fitzgerald place and date unknown. Margaret King living in a Workhouse in Waterford came to Australia 1849. Shipping records state both parents were deceased and place of residence was stated as Waterford. Nothing is known of remaining siblings James, Mary and Catherine. FITZGERALD, Mary (Anastacia/Anty) place unknown Where they were born and where they married is a mystery and would love to hear from anyone else researching these names. Denise Pianta Sydney Aust

I am a new subscriber to the WATERFORD list - hoping that maybe someone recognizes the names and can help to break down my concrete wall. The families I am searching are: FOY, RICHARD b 1816 IRELAND. GORMAN, MARGARET b 1811 IRELAND. Where they were born and where they married is a mystery. I checked with the PRO in Dublin and I was told their records start at 1864 - so I was out of luck there. RICHARD/MARGARET had two sons JAMES b.1837 and JOHN b.1839 both born in ST.HELENS, LANCASHIRE,ENGLAND. Would appreciate any help or suggestions.

While doing research on my family's occupation of lands in County Waterford c 1850 I came to find that 4 of the plots they had leased were leased from a LORD CAREW. I did a Google on him and discovered he owned at least 84 acres in the Woodstown area and had been involved in that area for generations. Evidently the family and the name died out in the 1930s but does anybody know anything about this guy? Would there be any lease transactions extant from the 1850s held privately? My family shows about 50 acres leased from him. Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim in North Carolina

The following message was sent to all Rootsweb List administrators, and we were asked to share it with our lists.

PLEASE let us keep this lists as a "haven" for genealogy. Rootsweb (and yahoogroups) provide these lists for genealogy research, and are intent on having them free from political discussion. Therefore, any references to the present political situation will result in being unsubscribed from the list. If you have any questions, please contact me off list.

Could anyone tell me if I can find out anything about a person who listed his occuption as "Attorney's Clerk" and who lived in St John's Avenue Waterford in 1866. His name was John Flynn and his wife's name was Mary Anne Flynn (nee Stoney). I know that they had a daughter named Mary Kate who would have been born around 1845. That's all I know. Where do I start? Help! - Kathy

Somebody was asking if Mayor's Walk in Waterford still exists. Unfortunately, I deleted the posting. That person can get details at:- http://www.sunnywaterford.com/interactivewaterford/streets/mayorswalk.htm Regards Dr Con Power

Hi Listers, I just found out that my g.grandmother lived at 27 Mayors Walk in the City of Waterford in 1926. Would anyone know if that street is still in existence today????? Thanks. Mary

I have found that there are many FANNING connections with my POWER family through sponsorships at baptisms. These FANNING sponsors, with dates of the baptisms are: 1.. Patrick Fanning, baptism of Bridget Power on 20th August 1893 at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity [born at Summerhill Terrace on 18th August 1893] 2.. Thomas Fanning, baptism of Patrick Joseph Power on 21st January 1900 at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity [born at Glen Terrace on 19th January 1900] 3.. Michael Fanning, baptism of Henry Power on 9th January 1902 at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity [born at Glen Terrace on 5th January 1902. The late Henry Power was my father] 4.. Catherine Fanning, baptism of John Power on 10th April 1904 at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity [born at 12 The Glen on 7th April 1904] All of the above children were born to my paternal grandparents, William Power and his wife, Mary Ellen (also nee Power). The fact that a different FANNING was a sponsor at each of four baptisms suggests to me a very close friendship between the families, if not a direct relationship. Does anybody know of any such connection between FANNING and POWER families? Regards Dr Con Power

Tim at [email protected] writes: << I am trying my best to find Grange Lower in the parish of St Johns Without, Gaultier Barony. Can anybody help me. Whats it near etc?? >> Tim, Grange Lower is mostly subsumed into Waterford City itself. It lies nearly south of the center of the city along the river, about a mile and a half. It is located between the R 708 heading SSE to the airport, and the next road to its NE from the city center running south of the R 683 and parallel to it. This 'in-between' road later connects with the R 684 about 4 miles SE of Waterford City center. If you've got a Discovery map # 76, the centerpoint of Grange Lower is at 614 104.

Tim, Found this in the Munster Express. Sheila MacAvoy Block "Road at St. John's Hill in bad repair S urprisingly and thankfully this is not a commentary on the current state of this famous city thoroughfare but a reference to its condition almost three hundred years ago, which prodded the Waterford Corporators of 1725 into remedial action.It is with pleasure I delve once again into Daniel Dowling's wonderful work `Waterford Streets Past and Present' to bring you some of the history associated with this much older but yet still very attractive roads and residences of this area of the city. For a considerable number of years it was colloquailly known as Windmill Hill. This was a reference to Butlers Windmill - in the area of the old fever hospital. In 1661 the owner or lessee of this mill was one Samuel Browne. This windmill was a significant feature of Waterford City's landscape and can be clearly identified in Vander Hagen's famous painting of the City of 1736. Within and Without The parishes of St. John and associated churches has conferred its name on this entire area, John's river, bridge, street, town, hill, college and later park. Indeed, it travelled as far as Newfoundland and became the name of its capital city. The Hill itself leads northwards from the junction of South Parade and the Ballytruckle Road and was part of the ancient road out of the city which led to the region's outpost at Passage East. This hill was in the townland of St. John's Without and formed the boundary between the townsland of Newtown and Lower Grange. The original Grange of many local placenames was located where Grange Park is today. In 1663-4 the Newtown was recorded as Gough's Newtown. Passage Road now divides the section that later became known as Wyse's Newtown from the first half of the 18th century. A Patrick Gough was in possession of all this area in 1640 and later held by Alderman John Bluett. The townland of Lower Grange in medieval times was the property of the Augustinian canons of the Congregation of St. Victor at St. Catherine's Priory. This Priory stood where the present Court House stands today and gave its name to Catherine Street. Following the suppression of the monasteries the lands passed to the Sherlock family and later to an Andrew Lynne and Thomas Porter later still."

I am trying my best to find Grange Lower in the parish of St Johns Without, Gaultier Barony. Can anybody help me. Whats it near etc?? Slainte, Tim

Gidday All, Well I have finally put the site up. We have three results at present with another six Y-Test kits gone out to be collected. Please go to http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dnapower to see the results. Hooray, Warren in Ballarat, Australia (ex Kiwi).

The Griffiths maps contain numbers which correlate to the plot/house occupied by the head of household listed. The number is the column to the left of the person's name in the printed list of householders. It may simply be a digit, or it can be a digit and a letter in lower case typeface, usually in parenthesis. The map images are often hard to read, bur if you copy them off and scan them with a microscope you can usually see a pattern. Some maps are easier than others. Dungarvan Branch of the Waterford Library has these maps in a large format in hard copy. Sometimes older OS maps unrelated to Griffiths Survey will have small squares which represent houses. You can try and relate the two pieces of data. By the way, when you see a name with a digit and then a long series of letters, you may presume the persons are related. These groups are often representative of the older form of settlement in clusters. They can also be estate housing for laborers. Sheila MacAvoy Block

At the Co Waterford site there is the link to the Griffith's maps. Once you bring them up however there seems to be no direct coorelation to the person who occupied the tract. Is there a trick to reading the map so you can find which plot was occupied by your ancestor? Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim

Seeking information on a marriage between Edward or Edmund Power and Honora Crotty somewhere in County Waterford between 1830 and after 'til around 1849. Sorry I don't have more information. Thank you for your help. Ellie

My husband & I visited St. Mary's Church in Dungarvan in 2001. Because we knew the names of the parents, we were able to get a computerized baptism record for my husband's ggrandfather plus his brothers & sisters who were born in the 1840s & 1850s. I would suggest writing to St. Mary's and ask what records they have - they definitely have the baptism records but may not have the marriage records.

According to what I can find out, my grandfather Patrick Joseph Colvin was born on March 23, 1893 in Dungarvan and married my grandmother Bridget Doyle on April 18, 1918. She was born in Dungarvan also on October 25, 1895, the daughter of Thomas Doyle and Catherine (McGrath) Doyle. I believe they were married in St. Mary's Church in Dungarvan. Patrick came to the United States as a crew member on board the "Knight Companion" arriving on May 23, 1919. He had a couple of brothers, John and Charles but that's all I know of the family. The ship sailed from Liverpool. Bridget came to the US on board a ship called "The Baltic" from Liverpool and arriving here on March 7, 1920. I don't know if she had any siblings. If anyone has any information on their families I would appreciate hearing from you. Pat Pugsley [email protected]
