    It's definitely "House 32........Place"

    Could it possibly be Willis..spelled "Willeus" I'm seeing "W....eus" anyway.

    That's what I'm seeing too.

    Is there such a place?

    http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/placenames/streetnamesbilinguallist/w/

    The death occurred in cork DLA, dispensary district 4. The home address could be anywhere in cork city or county.

    The street names in 1882 could be different to today, either by renaming or demolition.

    It looks like Warren's Place, now Parnell Place, Cork city centre.

    Yes. I think it might be written Wearens place.

    That's very good of you KildareFan.

    I've run into a problem now with a child born after this woman's death so I may have the wrong death record. :(

    The Looney-Looney marriage on this page. Do you read the 2 fathers' names as the same or slightly differently?

    Both fathers called Edmond. A genealogical nightmare!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Yes, that's what I think too. And worse still, there's 2 Daniels born to 2 different Edmonds in the right time frame, and both mothers' names for those babies feature in the children of Daniel and Mary!

    The observation is difficult to read, but here is my best effort. Maybe some of our latin scholars will help out:


    Nomina eorum qui hoc anno in parocia de Maryborough, defuncti sunto in curia ejus cui custodia in [halumice???] commissa pul & [alve inaccurate numisantur?]


    The first bit means "The names of those who have died this year in the parish of Maryborough" & the rest loosely translated seems to indicate that their names are held in some court?

    Not a decipher query exactly but didn't seem worth starting a new thread for this one.

    Can anyone tell me which St. Mary's Church this marriage record for George Peter (1st entry) refers to?

    Not 100% sure, but I think that's the Church that's now a bar/restaurant in Mary Street at junction with Jervis Street.

    I assumed that too, particularly given the grooms address, but then I got to wondering if it might be the Black Church in St. Mary's Place.

    I don't think it's the Black Church. The record refers to the Parish church, which would be the one in Mary St, whereas the Black Church would be referred to as the chapel of ease?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    Yes, definitely the one BowWow mentions.

    Agree - see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Church,_Mary_Street,_Dublin
    "St. Mary's Church, Dublin is a former Church of Ireland building on the corner of Mary Street and Jervis Street, Dublin, and adjacent to Wolfe Tone Square. From the 17th century the church was a place of worship for parishioners on Dublin's north-side, before it was closed in 1986. The church has since been deconsecrated and the building is now a pub and restaurant. The parish also had a chapel of ease - St Mary's - off Dorset Street, more commonly known as "The Black Church". "


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 11,421 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hermy


    I was set on the idea of it being the one on Mary Street and then I read a comment online about the Black Church and I began to doubt myself. Thanks for the replies.

    Sure! Between the possibilities for her surname and the Hines/Hinds/Hiens/Hynds/Hynes/Hyans variations for his, I haven't found their marriage yet. It's great to get some fresh eyes on these things.

    I think it is a variation of Garraunorish
    Grannorish?/Grannorisk?

    There is a cemetery there known as Grawn cemetery and there are the ruins of a church in it. Near Ballycapple.

    Something like 'dispensantur in tertio et tertio gradii consanguinatis'.

    Would that be they share great great grandparents?

    I agree it says something like that, but I think tertio & tertio gradii is second cousins.

    Back again.

    2nd from the bottom - Occupation looks like Army and it sort of makes sense. But the father's profession also looking like Army doesn't fit in with everything else I know.

    7th from the top - Can't make out the godparents. Looks like Julia Molloy at the end but the name before that?

    7th from the top - Looks like Conney but can't find Martin or Elizabeth in the 1901 census (and no death records between 1895 and 1901).

    1st line - Godparents are Joseph Nolan and Margaret Kinely? My guess is that this should read Kinnealy?

    1st line - Witness is Elizabeth...?

    Army for both of them.

    Maria A. McDonagh
    The word between the names might be proxy.
    7th from the top - Looks like Conney but can't find Martin or Elizabeth in the 1901 census (and no death records between 1895 and 1901).
    Looks like Conney all right but maybe a mis-spelling as Boo says.
    1st line - Godparents are Joseph Nolan and Margaret Kinely? My guess is that this should read Kinnealy?
    Definitely Kinely and not much of a jump to Kinnealy.
    1st line - Witness is Elizabeth...?
    Uzelle, same as the bride? Otherwise Waldon, Waldron or something similar?
