The chapel is in Fohenagh in the poor law union of Mountbellew ,his wife is from Fairfield,Killure just outside Ahascragh.

Well, it looks like Dermot had a sister Eliza who married in 1886 and the wedding took place in the parish of Fuerty in Roscommon. Her address is given as Boolybane in the Registrar's district of Athleague.

Mortar sounded more exciting but motor makes sense.

Maybe sober for the missing word?

Happy New Year.

Jellybaby1 · 01-01-2019 1:45am

how about....."honest soldier"?

Maybe not though. Happy New Year to all!

Thanks so much i still cant find exactly where boolybane is but it was enough to solve my brickwall! I got that record from a Dna match.He couldnt find any further either.

Deja Boo · 01-01-2019 9:49am

A good heavy mortar lorry driver, willing, honest, sober, intelligent & gave satisfaction.

? maybe ?

pedroeibar1 · 01-01-2019 10:43am

Agree with D Boo above. Motor makes sense because he is RASC (Royal Army Service Corps). Woolich is primarily an artillery barracks but always had links with the RASC who had a barracks there also.

davo2001 · 01-01-2019 10:55am

Thanks all, it's my great grand father's discharge papers from WW1. He served as an ammunition transport driver delivering ammo behind the front lines.

Injured twice ( minor injuries ) during his time served.

Trying to find out more info on where exactly he was based in France.

Hi can anyone make sense of the note at the end of the Baptism of Maria Joannes Graydon on this link

https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633719#page/125/mode/1up (august 1874)

Also, do you think that the name Richard in the linked birth cert is a mistake? Looks like father's name in rather than Maria Joannes? Same record different name?

Was her father a non-Catholic?

Yes it looks like a mistake. These usually came to light later if applying for something you would need your birth cert for. The (5) underneath the name means they knew that should have been in column 5 (father's name).
Perhaps the lady registering the birth did not know what name the child had been given?

Hi Spurious...yes Church of Ireland...that makes sense now.

The names and location just threw me slightly, but dates etc fit Maria.

They don't have a marriage cert (that I can find), although 1911 census has them married 19 years (so around 1881) when their second child would have been born.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone can make out the entry for a will abstract. It's at the top left numbered 316.

I can read, 'Kelly Robt Lisnanane Co. Roscommon Esq. to Catherine O'Connor the daughter (?) Celia Nolan (?) the daughter. Administration granted August 12th 1786.'

What I can't read may not be significant. I know that Catherine was the eldest daughter if that's at all relevant. Thanks.

To Catherine O'Connor ... for the use of Celia Nolan ...

Mmmmm. I think that the 'for the use' is actually 'owise' [otherwise] Kn [known] Celia Nolan Connor the dau [daughter]

Perhaps.

But why would she have two different christian names? Surnames changed each time she married but not first names.

They're definitely two different women anyway.

Two daughters.

The name they were known by in daily life and their legal name?

I know that in this case they're definitely two different daughters. Robert only had two daughters and no other children. Catherine and her husband had no children and when she became a widow, she returned to the family home. When she died, her nephew Nolan inherited the land.

I'm not disputing your info here - just pointing out why there might be two christian names.

Hi all, can anyone work out where in newcastle Patrick was buried? (K........) is this an area or a cemetery, only got this information in the last how and was down in Kilquade in wicklow today researching!! Thanks.

New Home · 05-01-2019 8:46pm

Kiladriney Co Wicklow? (Lots of squinting involved, so not 100% sure. :P)

Wyldwood · 05-01-2019 10:43pm

I don't see Newcastle, I see Newtown?

what paper was the death notice in? Maybe it would be easier to see on irishnewsarchives.com if available there? If you have more details on the death notice I'll take a look.

Jellybaby1 · 05-01-2019 11:37pm

Kilruddery perhaps? Or Kildriney?

This is a list of burial ground registrars in Wicklow I found on www.wicklow.ie - someone there may be able to assist.

This is as enhanced as my limited chromebook could make the image, I see Newtown as well.

Do you suppose it meant to say Killadreehan?

Hermy · 06-01-2019 12:00am

How is the image so poor? What's the source please?
