Hi everyone, I am new to the list and thought I would jump right in and ask for help. I am looking for the (Catholic) marriage of Edward POWER and Mary DALTON in Waterford. As their first child was born in 1880, I would say that the marriage took place approx 1879. Edward was born approx 1858 Any help would be greatfully appreciated Kind regards Robin (Newcastle NSW Australia) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones. Go to http://ninemsn.com.au/mobilecentral/hotmail_messenger.asp

Tim, Yes, I am saying that maps which accompany the GV list are available in the library at Dungarvan. The librarian kindly helped me and made a copy of the section. These are detailed OS maps in a large format, stored in a big hanging map case. However, I understand the Valuation Office in Dublin will send you a colored copy of your townland. Don't know if this is true. They do deal in black and white as well. The Valuation Office is on line at http://coastline.ennis.ie/page3.htm. Another source is the LDS libraries which have microfiche copies of the maps accompanying the Valuations. Sheila MacAvoy Block

Family history says that ELIZABETH MARY WEST was born in Waterford IRE ?1871 to MARY POWER or POWELL and SAMUEL WEST. Her father was supposably a policeman / soldier and died in Ireland when she was young. Mary was unable to care for the child and Elizabeth was sent to live with her father's sister Phebe Sime in Glasgow (1881 census). In 1891 she immigrated to Australia and married her Australian cousin SAMUEL SCOTT. Having difficulty tracking records and would love to find siblings. Any help much appreciated. Cheers Ann....Melbourne Aus.

The filmed records of Griffith's Valuations (Householder's Index) contains name of the head of household of each occupier of land, the name of the immediate lessor, the ordinance survey reference number of the townland, the map reference letter and number of the plots in the townland for each family, a description of the property (house, office, garden or land or bog etc.), acreage in acres, rods and perches, annual value in pounds of land and of buildings separately stated, and total value of the property. The Valuation Office in Dublin will provide copies of maps of each townland in Griffith's. I do not know the cost. These maps will clearly show the plots divided into lettered and numbered units. I obtained mine from the public library at Dungarvan in Waterford. Remember that the Waterford survey was done early, around 1852, just after the worst of the Famine. You may find other names listed as neighbors to your ancestor, or the entry that you think may be your ancestor. You may find odd names that have appeared as sponsors in Baptism to the children of your ancestor, thus confirming the likelihood that you have found the right family. Sometimes, if the names in a townland are the same or there are many of the same surname, the survey will include in parenthesis the name of the father of the listed person, i.e. Pat'k (Michael) Hughes, meaning Patrick, the son of Michael Hughes. As an example, I found what I believed to be my great grandfather listed in the townland of Glencairn in the Parish of Lismore and Mocollop. Listed a few doors away was John Quirke. David Quirke was godfather to Catherine English born to Michael English and Mary Sullivan 22 Aug 1829. This is too close a coincidence to be ignored. In the townland right next to Glencairn, a family named Bocedy resided. My great grandmother Catherine Mary English's sister, Ellen married Daniel Bocedy in 1841. Wheels within wheels. I also found that the precise property for which Michael English was being taxed, parcel 4 (e). This parcel turned out to be one of a row of estate cottages which each had a front garden and two rooms. Sort of like a stable for people, poor dears! No wonder they all, every one of them, took off for America. In answer to your question, it depends on how obsessive you are about subtle details. Sheila MacAvoy Block

If one were to look at the microfilm of the original (Griffith's) records, what other information other than what is on the index would I find? In other words, would it be valuable for me to check the microfilm now that I have the information from the index? Thanks. Mary Yonkers NY

Subject: [WAT] Re: WATERFORD-D Digest V03 #20 Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 06:35:53 -0500 From: "Jann Parks" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Can you tell me where I can find the Griffith's Valuation of Ireland?Thank you Jann Whalen Park It depends on where you are. The best best bets are the Mormon (LDS) Family History Centers, which nearly every LDS Church has. If you're lucky enough to live near a college that has an Irish Studies program, they're likely to have Griffith's. In the Boston, MA area, we have a number of resources - New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston College, and the Boston Public Library. David Collins

If you are interested in County Waterford, the Waterford County Library web site has a name search able data base which is a Waterford County extraction from Griffith's Evaluations. When you find your name you are given the parish and townland. Find the web site of the library through Google and follow the genealogy links to the lists. You may also purchase a CD which has the whole of Ireland compiled in the same way. There are some names missing however.. The complete collection of these valuations has been filmed by the LDS Church and is available worldwide. You can search for your ancestor if you know their County, or you can browse, although this is difficult. Hard copy is available at some LDS locations, notably Salt Lake City. There is a tutorial pamphlet published by LDS which leads you through the steps necessary to find a certain name within a County. The names published are occupying heads of households only, along with their immediate lessors. Sheila MacAvoy Block

Hi all, I am still trying to figure out the names "Kanary" and "Canary" back in Ireland. Would Kinereigh or Caneireigh come close? Any other ideas or suggestions? Thank you. Lorraine [email protected]

Hello Luke We have briefly corresponded before. I have much information about the Rathgormuck Nugents. My greatgrandmother Ellen Nugent was born in Ballinacurra in 1852. Her grandmother was Catherine Curry.

My grandmother was born in Rathgormack parish, most like near Glenpatrick on the road to Clonmel, perhaps at Powers of the Pot. She was Mary Power, daughter of Edmund and Margaret. I checked the "Griffith's" for the area and found Nugents ( Patrick , James, Darby, and CATHERINE) and John Curry living on the townland of Ballynacurra in what was Mothel parish. There are quite a few Nugent and Curry families in the Rathgormack area. I have been in contact with a Currry family that now lives in Powers of the Pot close to where my grandmother was born. Does anyone know off hand how close Hurley's Cross is to either Powers of the Pot or Glenpatrick?

Hello Would anyone be able to look up a birth for me in Ireland. I am searching for the birth of Mary Catherine (Kate) Flynn who was born 1845 (it could be February).

Mary Kate and Francis migrated to Queensland Australia in the 1870's. Any information about the above would be most welcomed. Cheers, Kathy Butler
