Elaine....(Obviously not John 1901) but interesting neverthe less....

Nationalist 1956.
Thanks.
Will you kindly allow me space to offer my sincere thanks to all my friends
in the district who in consideration
of my blindness so kindly subscribed to the purchase of a radio set for me.
Especially Mrs Lillis, Lunclone and Mrs Bradley, Janeville, who so kindly
collected for the purpose.
I am more than grateful, John Aughney, Newtown, Bagenalstown.

thnx erin...least there no murderers! lol

My sister in law told me that Jackie Aughney was blind(this was either a cousin or uncle...it wasnt their gt g/father John Aughney,who was also blind)

My husband has retinitis pigmentosa,which,if not diagnosed early enough,could cause blindness.

the tree shows that blindness runs in the family.

its interesting that Patrick Curran leased land from Robert Doyle,cos in the 1911 census,Patrick Curran(36)lived with Mary Curran,Mother(75).,Kate Doyle,1st cousin(34).,Catherine Doyle,Aunt(73).,and three 2nd cousins,John(6).,Sarah(5)and Patrick(1)Doyle.

could the mother, Mary,be the widow of the Patrick who leased the land and also the sister(or daughter)of Robert Doyle who owned the land?

they lived 80,Kilcarrig St.,Bagenalstown.

Also in Bagenalstown(at 6,Market Sq)lived Michael Curran(45)a barber from Dublin City.,wife Statia(36).,son Thomas(3) and Henry Doyle(39)Brother-in-law.

only put this in cos of the Curran-Doyle connection...don't know if any ancestors came from Dublin.

There also an Aughney-Doyle connection>Michael Aughneys' daughter,Annie(Nan) m.Jim Doyle.!

As for,could 2 brothers have married 2 sisters,Betty...Leos' 2 brothers married 2 sisters,and his 1st cousin married their other sister!
So they do seem to keep it in the family!

found out John Aughney d.1907,aged 90.
His wife Alicia d.1901,aged 80
Michael Aughney d.1941,aged 82
So,obviously,my husband is from a family of long-livers..both Currans and Aughneys!

Look forward to hearing from you Betty...hope your internet soon up and running smoothly again.

am still looking for the birth/baptism of Michael Curran,b.c1849.


I need this to find the name of his mother,and her maiden name.

Michael was living in Boherduff(Fennagh,Carlow)with his wife(Lizzie Lakes from leighlinbridge)and their children,in the 1901 Irish Census.


Any help would be appreciated.Thankyou.

Elaine..Does Michael's father Charles' death cert not give name of Michael's mother..?

havent got copy of death cert,erin...and .there's so much scribble on the wedding cert,its making me question if Michaels' father was Charles!! lol


a witness was Charles Curran as well,together with Mary Lakes.

another name crossed out,was Eliza Moran..don't know where the Moran comes from.

Elaine...It is no wonder you dont get away to your bed at nite..!!
Do you want to send a copy of MC and will see if I can decifer it...

er..how do i do that?

you can send your email address to ErinGB by private message and then she will send you an email and you can email her a copy of the image ... or do you have an image of it ?

if not you have to scan and save it ... and you have to hope you are better at that than me ...

i have a copy of the cert,but haven't a notion how to send a copy to somebody!!...was in mi 60s before i even switched a comp on! lol

will have to ask mi daughter to help me

Elaine.....Will send you my email address via Personal Message and perhaps the daughter will be able to scan the image through...

still looking for a birth/baptism for Michael Curran,b.c1849.

need this so that i can get a no. in order to get a certificate.

can anyone help please?

he lived with his wife,Eliza Lakes in Boherduff(Fennagh.carlow)in 1911 census.

on their marriage cert,his father was down as Charles Curran.

any help would be much appreciated.

thankyou

just caught this up above:

'another name crossed out,was Eliza Moran..don't know where the Moran comes from.'

yes you do ... Eliza Moran mother of Mary Leix and presumably Lizzie Lakes

way back in the thread I posted


name: Mary Leix
gender: Female
birth date: 09 Aug 1865
birthplace: 0469,LEIGHLINBRIDGE,CARLOW,IRELAND
father's name: John Leix
>> mother's name: Eliza Moran
indexing project (batch) number: C70126-4
system origin: Ireland-ODM
source film number: 101112

OMG!..did look back cos i thought i recog the name.
must have jumped over a page!

why would Elizas' mothers name be down(even tho it scribbled out)?
could it be that the priest asked parents names(meaning both fathers)
,and was given both of Elizas' parents?

sorry i missed that Chrissiex...comes with old age i expect! lol

have bought a book off e-bay re tracing irish ancestors....been trying but still cant find Michaels' birth/baptism or Charles' marriage...so i don't know who Charles married.

Any suggestions please?

suggestions ? sure !

take a trip, go to wherever baptism records etc are held, scour through them to your heart's content !

not everything is on the internet :-)

i don't even know where baptismal records are kept!

would they be in the Church of baptism,or would they be in Dublin?

If,Dublin,i thought i would need a batch no.,...think i did for the other certs,and them came off the internet.

sorry for being a bit thick,but it takes a while for me to sort things out>

Elaine

chrissiex...i found a brill site....its Carlow IGP.

have just spent the past 4 hours,ploughing thro thousands and thousands of baptisms!

very interesting tho...a Peter Curran,also tracing his family gave me Charles Currans' father as Patrick,married to Mary Barron(he's been tracing his tree for years)

i found 3or4 Currans' with the right father & mother,all baptized in Boherduff,which is my husbands' family homeplace.

couldn't find Charles,but there were a good few missing or illegible,around the time he was born(going off his son being b. in 1849)

i didnt know what way to take your statement "take a trip to wherever baptism records are kept and cour thro them"

but thats just what i did(from the comfort of mi armchair tho! lol

well I meant a real trip like I'd like to take to all the many places where records of my families are stashed away, or at least I hope they are :-)

I even have one Irish ancestor (well, and then probably some back before him ) but his records in the English censuses just say he was born in 'Ireland' well before 1800, so I'm not holding out much hope I'll ever know where to look for him ...

sounds like an excellent site

if only my gent came from Carlow :-)

site is brilliant..and as we are not in perfect health,its a good way of finding things out.

have found all sorts of sites,simply by googling the name or the town...but sometimes i forget to write down where i found it,so can't get back on again!!(especially following links!)
