    Twins are not a possibility are they?

    Have you looked at 25 June 1795 too? The second entry for that date.

    **edit
    findmypast transcribes your entry above as Patk Isan.

    21st October has 2 names as well - opposite gender - I agree twins are a possibility.

    Thanks - very grateful for your input as always.

    Twins might be a good explanation. It fits with there being a full extra field in the entry.

    I'd dismissed it as I've found twins much later on that each had a separate entry [and a separate 2/6d !] - but this is probably a different priest.

    I've also come across an entry where the father's name was given as "John Bane Junior" [July 1799] - where there was a need to distinguish between two different John Banes.

    Do you think its possible that this 'John Bane Patrick' might be "John Bane, son of Patrick" - [like the format occasionally seen in Griffiths Valuation]


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,614 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Yes, that's possible too. I've seen that format used in old rent rolls.

    What's the place written under Eliza Bolger's name - fourth down on this page, please?

    https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1910/05434/4519481.pdf

    She died in the workhouse so I presume this was her address.

    Effernogue, I think.

    Managed to solve this - I found another entry from July 1805, where the ink is a little less smudgy - Mary, born to "John Bane Pat[k]", Cluniff. Looks like he's recorded as John Bane Patrick, to distinguish him from the other John Bane from Cluniff, who is recorded as "John Bane Jun[r]"

    I'm doing research on two Moycullen families, and I'm completely spoiled by the extent and quality of the parish records there.

    Agree with Spurious - Effernogue, it's near Ferns.

    Any thoughts on the note on the first marriage here please?

    The bride and groom have the same surname so I expect it to be some kind of consanguinity note, but there's nothing in the dispensations column.

    I can't read it as posted/linked. Tried opening the page separately but the magnifier does not work.

    Well here's the full view on pdf. Think it's Latin though, at which I'm useless -

    The entry two below has a similiar annotation - i can see the word Matrimonius for sure, but can only have a guess that the rest looks roughly like:

    Stransus fuit autrea matrimonius langanitur

    That last word could be something to do with blood [like sanganitur]

    If you click Microfilm 04602 / 05 arrowed in the image that'll take you back to the page with the magnifier function.

    Looks like Sponsus fuit antea in matrimonio consanguinitum - the groom was previously in a blood relationship? Doesn't make much sense, maybe somebody with fresher latin than mine will be along.

    edit: I wonder does it mean the groom was previously married?

    edit 2: looking at the civil registration John is a widower so my guess is that's the meaning of the note.

    I think the last word is 'conjunctus' but agreed otherwise.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,108 ✭✭✭pedroeibar1


    Agree with Vetch - sponsus fuit antes in matrimonio conjunctus - the groom was formerly joined in matrimony.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,614 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Thanks all. I hadn't seen that one before.

    Can anyone make out the cause of death for this baby? She was a twin and her twin had the same cause of death recorded but I can't make it out or else I'm not familiar with the term.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 27,103 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    I think it might be Inanition, exhaustion due to lack of food. Perhaps there were birth defects that made them unable to feed?

    Strangulation by hanging himself whilst temporarily insane.

    The notifier was the Coronor for Co. Tipp who held an inquest on 24 October, so a look at local press after that date might give more info.

    Find My Past is free this weekend, and I've found various nuggets relating to family members.

    This enquiry is about a claim and counterclaim of assault in the Petty Sessions Court

    https://search.findmypast.ie/record?id=IRE/PETTYS/4619370/00352&parentid=IRE/PETTYS/4619370/00352/1874997 1st & 2nd entries

    What I have so far:

    11 - June 9, 1871; Complainant: Mary Molyneux; Defendant: Rose Lee, Hazelhatch; Witnesses: Mary Molyneux & Mary Lyons?; Complaint: That defendant did at Hazelhatch on 4th June ___ & 5th do(ditto) use threatening language ___ ____ and did assault her & her children; Particulars: Case dismissed?

    12 - June 9, 1871; Complainant: Rose Lee; Defendant: George Molyneux & Mary Molyneux; Witnesses: Rose Lee, Mary Lee?; Complaint: That defendant did assault complainant? at Hazelhatch on the 4th & 5th of June ___; Particulars: Case dismissed?

    inst. means this month. I'm not sure if it can also mean this year.

    Another one, from 1882

    https://search.findmypast.ie/record?id=IRE/PETTYS/4619372/00568&parentid=IRE/PETTYS/4619372/00568/1893073

    5 - Complainant: Timothy Colclough; Defendant: George Molyneux, Hazelhatch; Witnesses: T Colclough, J Dowling; Complaint: That defendant allowed a number of geese? (on) his property to trespass on complainant's meadow pasture land at Hazelhatch in said district twice on the 31st of July 1882: Particulars: Defendand to pay 8d fine & 2d costs. 6d ____ if warrant issued.


    Christ Almighty! If allowing these errant geese to wander once onto the neighbour's meadow wasn't bad enough, he went and let them do it again! Lock him up & throw away the key! :mad: :D


    On previous entries, the complainant is named as S.C. P or Peter Brady. In this instance, what does the SC stand for? Is it Sub Const. short for constable?

    Sub. Const. was a rank in the RIC.

    Thanks for both, Spurious. My grandfather was a Civic Guard, it now appears that his father, Peter, for whom I'd no occupation information, was also a law keeper. Great to be able to add this to his records.

    I meant to say, that in searching for records of one great-grandfather, I had the rare privilege of seeing both maternal and paternal on the same page, if for very different reasons.

    This has been a very fruitful few hours of searching on Find My Past, a site where I've never had a subscription before. That's sure to change, if only for a month here or there, as needs arise.
