Can you post the census details as since I upgraded to Office 365, it's a pain in the butt to view the Irish census details (formatting issues)

Thanks

SCALDED TO DEATH.
A child named Andrew Skelly, aged sixteen months. has died at 23 Turner's Cottages, Ballsbridge, from the effects of scalds received by overturning of a can of hot cocoa...


Edits (above would go with below, from other 'Thread')

Name CHRISTOPHER FRANCISCUS SKELLY
Date of Birth 4 January 1896
Address 23 TURNERS COTTAGES
Father EDVARDUS SKELLY
Mother ESTHER FOX

On the original census the place name looks a little like Balktoss, but I can't see any place that resembles that. Age for Edward is unclear.

On his death 22nd October 1901, Edward was listed as age 52 (army pensioner). His wife Esther of 3 Turner's Cottages was in attendance

Thanks Chris & Erin (well done on deciphering those names!) for posting more info - Chris, you can stick your little beak in when ever you want hun :)

On the image for the Roman Catholic Parish records re the marriage of Edward and Esther it gives the address of Edward's parents and the witnesses:

Parents- Edward & Anne- 77 Capel Street

Witness- John Skelly- 22 Lucuis Terrace (Unsure about Lucuis, perhaps someone else can look)

EDIT: Father was John, not Edward!

On the marriage for Edward Skelly & Esther Fox, his parents are listed as John (not Edward) & Ann of 77 Capel St

The witness' John Skelly & Mary A Fox (can't make out John' address!

Doh- yes, sorry Gins, father John. It was the Address I was concentrating on!

Christina.....

This may help give you an insight into the conditions the Skelly family lived in Turners Cottages....(not uncommon)

From Irish Times article 2014.





Ballsbridge, Dublin’ s embassy belt, once had its very own slum, Turner’ s Cottages, close to the top of Shelbourne Road and almost opposite the present day Oval development.

Richard Turner, a noted 19th century ironfounder, opened his Hammersmith Works on Pembroke Road in 1834. They made the roof of what is now Pearse station in Westland Row, the great botanical greenhouses at Glasnevin, Belfast and Kew, most of the garden railings in Ballsbridge and did business as far away as Russia.

Today, Hume House is there, while next door, the Number One, Ballsbridge, scheme of luxury apartments and offices is being built on the old veterinary college site.

Turner built a collection of cottages at the back of his site to house his workers and they remained in place for many years after the iron works moved in 1876 to North King Street, on the other side of the city. The cottages weren’t demolished until just over 40 years ago, at which stage, there were still close on 20 left. Outsiders, but not the people living there, called it “ The Gut”.

The cottages each had two large downstairs rooms; most had no kitchens, although in later years some had tiny kitchenettes. People cooked on either a large open fire or on a range. Coal was fetched from a nearby coal yard in prams and stored beneath the stairs. Upstairs, there were two bedrooms, with wrought iron fireplaces and a small boxroom, but no lavatory or bathroom. In earlier days, a different family lived in each room, so that one house had four families.

People living there had to queue to use the outside lavatory in the yard and wash themselves in front of the fire in the living room.

Families living in the cottages shared a tap in the yard for water and for washing clothes, which were hung to dry on lines, worked with pulleys that stretched from one side of the small enclave to the other.

That is really kind of you. Hoping you could help try and find this person. I have Jeremiah Harrington bn 1829 in Cork Ireland. His father is down as john who was a farmer labourer. Jerry has been found in the 1851 when he travelled and lived in Dowlais Merthyr Glamorgan Wales. He married Ellen Golden/Goulding in 1853. She was also from Ireland. I have found no way of tracing any of Jeremiah siblings or mother as I have not found his birth.
Would appreciate any help with info.
Thank you in advance.
Julie

There are these Baptisms in 1827 and 1834:

Denomination: Roman Catholic

Father: John Harrington

------------------------------------

Name: Jeremiah Harington Date of Birth:
Date of Baptism: 07-Jun-1834
Parish/District: BALLYHEA
Gender: Male County Co. Cork
Denomination: Roman Catholic

Father: John Harington
Mother: Margaret Henessy

Informant 1: Edmond Skiddy
Informant 2: Catherine Henessy

This is a VERY long shot and I don't know what sort of info you can find on that site but I hav Margaret McLoughlin who married in Lancashire in January 1871.

I have a feeling she might have come from Ireland somewhere. There is a son Thomas born c1868 (who 'might' belong to her??) and Margaret disappears completely by the time of the 1871 census, although I have found another possible child of her's born in Lancashire c1872?

Her father was John who was a 'bricksetter'

Would it be possible to find anything perhaps on journeys for her to England prior to 1871 or a return journey in or before 1872 when her name could be Fenton ?

She was born c1853.

Thanks Ginns,

Dea

Thanks Ginns but that is a tree on which I corrected some detail and gave them Margaret's name but they know nothing more than I have told them and have 'assumed' her birth was in Lancashire.

I have followed all options and suggestions available in England and they have come to nothing which is why I am looking towards Ireland as a 'possibility'.

P.S. - I have spent 14 years on this so far !!!!! :-(
