Thank you! I think the prechting part is right. I think the first part may be Reihn. I just found this newspaper article in German and it's a little easier to read:

Jeremiah, which can also appear as Darby.

I won't book an eye test just yet. I was too busy focusing on the address that I somehow managed to miss columns 5 and 7. I'm seeing 'widow' and 'Porter's widow'. Reading that right?

If so, that makes no sense to me as her husband lived until 1913. Let's presume I have the "right" person and my research is correct. Would it be possible to make a mistake like this on the cert?

No, you can just send me the url of the image. Then reply to this thread mentioning what you need help with on the image and I'll edit your post to add in the link.

Notes on second last entry on P117 here? England, 1938 is about all I'm getting - I presume it has to be a marriage.

The first word of the note is matrimonium or some such rendering of matrimony followed by some other Latin rendering of contracted so yeah, a reference to the person baptised being married in England.

In the English civil indexes there is an entry for an Andrew C. Ralph marrying an Ellen V. Perks in Fylde, Lancashire in 1938.

I wasn't aware the Irish Genealogy parish records had been abandoned - when did this happen?

L1011 · 08-02-2021 10:49pm

That wedding would be quite likely I'd expect - I'll look in to it.

I meant abandoned in so far as the last new set of transcriptions was many years ago; with the NAI scans having been the replacement effort.

Mick Tator · 08-02-2021 11:08pm

I agree with Hermy's take on this - it is a marriage, matrimonium coniunctierunt apud Fleetwood, England (Joined in marriage near Fleetwood, England) According to a Google search 'Fleetwood is a coastal town in Lancashire, England, at the northwest corner of the Fylde, '

It certainly would be unusual with her daughter as informant, who presumably would know.

There is a Laurence Whelan died in the hospice (Dublin South) in 1897.

Kudos for your persistence!

Here's my take on the section after spinster.

"...now resident in the City of Montreal spinster over 21 years of age daughter of Maurice Healy now resident in Dublin Ireland and his lawful wife now deceased Mona Dwyer were united by me by authority of License in the holy bonds of matrimony on January 26th 1917 in the City of Montreal in presence of subscribing witnesses..."

Thanks spurious.

I see the Laurence you referred to but I think that's someone unrelated. Also states that he was a carpenter whereas on Mary Anne's death cert it says her husband was a porter. Obviously people had many varied jobs back then but I do think it's a different person. Plus he was 45 in 1897 and she was 57 in 1898. Ages were not always accurate but I don't think there's a connection between the two people.

Don't want to drag this any further off topic but that's thrown a right spanner in the works. A lot of research has been done on the back of some of the names mentioned here. I'll have to go back over the details but afraid of confirmation bias creeping in. Maybe this needs to be moved to the off-topic chat but I don't know if someone fancies cross-checking some documents I have. I have all the details but I may like someone to take a look at what I have and confirm whether what I have looks okay or if I've made a mistake along the way.

srmf5 · 12-02-2021 10:01pm

It's not handwriting but I'm wondering if anyone might be able to make out what's on this headstone.

It looks to say:
MARY KELLY
A native of the parish of ?
County Roscommon Ireland

There's one parish that I think it might be, but even then, it doesn't look exactly right. The bottom of the headstone also has 'Erected by' but I can't see much else after that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In memor’m of
MARY KELLY
A native of the Parish of ….
County Roscommon in Ireland
(???)
Sept 27th 184?
Aged 64 years

I cannot decipher the italic script but the penultimate line commences ‘Erected by …. (possibly ‘her brother’?)

Thanks for the help. I think that the year is 1863 but I'm not certain. I also can't make out who it's erected by. It's the erected by and parish that I'm mostly interested in but primarily the parish. Looking at the image, there seems to be a better chance of making out the parish than the erected by anyway. The picture is on Findagrave of a headstone in the US. I'm interested to know if she was from the same parish as my ancestors. It's a shame that the person who took the picture didn't transcribe what was on the headstone as well since it looks like it would be easy enough to read if you were looking at it in-person.

Mick Tator · 15-02-2021 7:51pm

It is challenging. Are you in the Kelly Clan Facebook group/page? There is a large number of US Kellys there with Roscommon heritage and they might know of her/ graveyard.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that out.

Do you know which graveyard/cemetery it is? It's a long shot, but there may have been volunteers transcribed it.

Yes, it's Saint John the Evangelist Cemetery, Lambertville, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, USA.

I have the first part - pulmonary exhaustion 2 hours - but the middle word of the second line has me stumped - chronic _______ disease.

Could it be chronic tubercular disease?

I think that the first part could be pulmonary embolism.
