re the headstone..Catherine Curran d.Oct.1967.,aged 83...making her b.1884/5.

in house 13,Boherduff,in 1911 census,lives Katie(Catherine?)Curran,aged 26(making her born c1885)

she living with her parents John(64)and Kate(61).,brothers James(28),Patrick(24),John(19)and Denis(17).

also living with them is "relative" Annie Curran(66)down as farmers dau.(John snrs sister?)

could this Catherine be the one on the gravestone?

well leos eldest brother was born in 1922,so his mum and dad Mgt. Mary Aughney and John Curran must have married before that.

Leos' 2 brothers married 2 sisters and their first cousin m. their sister.

my sister-in-law was baptised Catherine but known as Kathleen.

only Michael Aughney i know of who was married to a Catherine,was the one b.1859!

don't know Catherines' maiden name yet,but am awaiting birth cert for their dau.Catherine,so should find out when i get it.

i have written down 3 pages of Curran baptisms,from diff. parishes round and about Boherduff/Newtown/Dunleckny.areas...will now sit and search through to see can i find parents for Kathleen(Catherine?)Curran.

thnx for the info Chrissiex..i really do appreciate it.

familysearch has only one possible connection but it doesn't look very close

from the ages on the gravestones it looks like Catherine Curran could be mother of Eileen Aughney, she is wife of Michael ?

death certificates might tell you something

matches the marriage for Michael Aughney

no wait, Catherine was the mother

well it looks like Michael married a Kathleen anyway ! or he could be a different Michael Aughney but in any case there is a Curran Aughney connection of some sort ...

have got a pic of a gravestone in Newtown.,Carlow.

I am tracing the ancestry of my husband

His paternal side is Curran...his maternal side is Aughney.

I was intrigued to see this headstone...

In Loving Memory of CATHERINE CURRAN..Newtown.,died 14th Oct.1967,aged 83yrs.

also MICHAEL AUGHNEY..Newtown.,died 16th Oct.1970,aged 56 yrs.

and EILEEN AUGHNEY.,died 15th March 1989,aged 78 yrs.

I would love to know how Aughneys and Curran are buried in same grave.

could they be somehow related before Leos' father John Curran m. Margaret Mary Aughney?

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!)

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 :-)

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

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

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 :-)

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?

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

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

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

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

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 ...

er..how do i do that?

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...

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

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.
