I am trying to trace a possible ancestor of mine – Mary Ann Ormisher. She was transported to Van Dieman’s Land (Tasmania) in 1851 but I cannot find out much about her life in Liverpool before them and have run into a blank wall. Can anyone help me with this please ? I have been able to find a lot of...

Luxor, Thanks for the info. The Tree you quote showing Edward's parents as John and Margaret is from my 3rd cousin. She lives in USA. We are working together to try to crack this Kehoe link. The other info you sent is also useful - I'll see what it throws up. Mary - thanks for your help. I hope your...

Bert Thanks. As you have pointed out all of the marriages on the following page, up to the year end, also have the same dispensation. It may be to do with marriages needing a dispensation to be performed during Advent ? Advent is normally the four weeks preceding Christmas Day so the five after Chri...

Mary - thanks for looking. I am trying to link my Kehoe ancestors in Liverpool to the Kehoes in Wexford. Nicholas Kehoe, b 20 Apr 1861 in Liverpool, d 23 Aug 1898 in Liverpool was my great grandfather. Nicolas Kehoe was the son of Edward Kehoe (b. about 1835. d1884) and Elizabeth Reeves (b1839. d190...

I am trying to search back to ancestors in Ireland before they moved to Liverpool in mid 19th Century. I found a comment in the Notes section of a marriage entry in the “Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915” which said “By dispension of time” Does anyone know what it means ? Any/all suggest...

Thanks Alex - we managed to trace him.

1911 Census had him living in 57 Eldon Place, Liverpool. He died in May 1915 at 33 Eldon Place and was buried on 6th May 1915.

There are lots of William Murphys in Ford Cemetery !

A big Thank You to those members who gave me tips on visiting Ford Cemetery. A big Thank You also to the lady at the RC Archdiocese Cemetery Office, who was a great help with info. The visit helped to answer some questions, to rule out some possibilities, and to throw up many more questions to follo...

Mary, Many thanks - really useful Can you let me have the address contact details for the Record Office please ? A tip that may be useful for others reading this is to go to Google Maps for Ford Cemetery and go to Satellite View. If you zoom in you can identify the sections, by referencing to the ma...

Blue, Re: James Finnegan. He is my 2nd great grandfather - my maternal grandfather's paternal grandfather. We know he was born abt 1840 in Wexford but have not found any evidence of him in Liverpool yet, so unsure if he ever came to Liverpool. It seems he was dead by 1886 as he his mentioned as a de...

I have a list of grave numbers to look for and a map of Ford Cemetery showing the various sections from the link provided by Blue70 some time ago ... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.anc ... /maps.html Can anyone help to point me in the right directi...

JohhnyO - is the marriage you refer to 1842 or 1843. I think the Mary Redmond birth was 20 April 1843

Blue,

Many thanks - I have not seen the nli.ie Register website before - it looks fascinating - I will take a further look.

Mary A/JohnnyO - many thanks for the info - looks like some more leads to follow up.

Can anyone help me in understanding an entry from Ancestry - Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers. • Does this show the birth of Mary Redmond ? • If so I assume the parents are Patt (Redmond ?) and Ann Bogger ? • Is Bogger her maiden name - or are they unmarried ? • Who are Mick Redmond and El? Murphy...

The other addresses - Harrington Street, Fisher Place etc - are all in Liverpool 8 area - the one below Fisher Street looks like first two letters are a capital "M" and a lower case "a" .... rest is not clear ... so 14 Ma ?. Could be Mann Street - just around the corner from Fisher Street - best I c...

Blue, Bertie. Many thanks for your help. I did not realise I could order from GRO without the correct GRO Index Ref No. I have gone ahead and ordered Birth Cert specifying the DoB (known from baptism records) and the full names of parents. I understand that this means I will get the correct certific...

Perhaps an error made when registering? MURPHY, MARY ANN, REDMAN GRO Reference: 1863 D Quarter in WEST DERBY AND TOXTETH PARK Volume 08B Page 346 Caution needed, there was a Murphy/ Redman marriage, so probably theirs. Bertie, Thanks for the suggestion. What areas of Liverpool would register births...

I know from Liverpool, England, Catholic Burials, 1813-1988, Ref No: 282 FOR, that she was born on 4/8/1863 and baptised at St. Francis Xavier on 16/8/1863. Her p...
