Hi Gins, John Pigot/ Piggott died in 1890 in Waterford, the was born around 1837, I assume he was born in Waterford but do not know this for sure, he married Margaret Mckeon and had many children all born in Waterford. Would really like to know his birth and marriage details if possible..

Many Thanks.

I know Waterford Records can be hit and miss and the Baptisms are poor to say the least so that's an avenue I cannot go down at present....

Thanks a million Gins for all this additional info regarding this couple.... May I ask if you can see if their parents, John Piggott/ Margaret Aylward ( aka Mary) and Richard Aylward/ Catherine Grant were also born in Waterford or indeed Ireland? A family rumour is that John Piggott was from England? I wonder if you can go back this far on the Roots site?

Many thanks.

I have a few days left to access the rootsire records (Sept 24th)

If you have any people that you would like me to search for, post the details here

I cant guarantee that your 'people' will be on the current transcribed records but I will have a look! :-)

Many thanks Gins - I realise how common those names are! Thank you once again for taking on such an offer to help.

Yes - family claim we were originally 'Hourihan-O'Brien's. (another researcher John Hourihan (now d) had seen this name on his father Timothy's b cert ... parents had 'dropped' off the 'Brien'. lived in 'dessergness' (excuse spelling!)area of Cork.

Thanks again - Valeriei

Gins....

I think Val may be referring to the O'Brien/ Brien surname as the hyphenated name...eg O'Brien and Hourihan or Briien and Hourihan

Hi Valeria

Sorry, I've been working away for a couple of days, so not been around

There are too many Mary Leary' showing and it's impossible to know if any of them are your girl without any other information such as parents

As for the double barrelled surname, nothing showing at all

Valerie

Valerie Report 14 Sep 2017 01:08

Thanks Gins -

Think Mary Leary born c1805-1810 - (1st child John Brien b1829). so possibly 19-24yrs old then..

For if you have time Gins ....Thank you again ...Valerie
