Hi List,
I am new to this list,but not new to genealogy.
I am trying to connect various Finnerty families found in Bury,Lancashire. Patrick Finnerty born about 1834 in Galway was married to Margaret Hushion also born Galway. He was the son of Patrick and Mary,his sibling was Martin born 1843.
The other Finnerty family was John born 1831 in Galway who married Bridget Cunningham born in Mayo. This info is taken from census returns in Lancashire
Finally my Finnerty line is John Finnerty born about 186

Here is the website for the county heritage centres. Each county has
indexed the church records and if they are available for the time period
you are interested in, they can do an initial lookup for you for a
lesser fee than for a complete report. If they find him, then maybe you
can order the full report or see if the records have been filmed by the
LDS Family History Library. Unfortunately, the Carlow centre seems

I checked the Griffith's Valuation (1850s in Galway) for both surnames
and found the Finnerty surname in 10 civil parishes (Ahascragh,
Donanaghia, Fohanagh, Kilcloony, Kilgerrill, Killimordaly, Killoran,
Loughrea, Pollroebuck, Townsparks).
However, the Hushion surname is only found in one civil parish,
Castleblakeney.

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE
What is the flower that blooms each year
In flowerless days,
Making a little blaze
On the bleak earth, giving my heart some cheer?
Harsh the sky and hard the ground
When the Christmas rose is found.
Look! its white star, low on earth,
Rays a vision of rebirth.
Who is the child that's born each year --
His bedding, straw:
His grace, enough to thaw
My wintering life, and melt a world's despair?
Harsh the sky and hard the earth
When the Christmas child comes forth.
Look! around a stabl

SNIPPET: Gilbert Keith CHESTERTON (1874-1936), an English poet, essayist, and novelist, was one of the most original and forceful British writers of his time.

SNIPPET: Per the late Susan FLYNN (nee NESDALE), living in Ireland in her early years was different than it is today. There were large families and people lived on food they produced on their own farms -- "Every Christmas a big pig was killed. The ham was cured separately and was boiled for Christmas dinner. A turkey was roasted in a big oven alongside the hearth fire with coals heating the lid... What a pleasure to sit down to your Christmas dinner and taste the flavour of that delicious bird along

Thanks to George at the Irish Heritage newsletter:
Irish Potato Soup
The basis of a good soup - especially a simple soup such as this - is a
good stock. The soup should be made with a white stock, that is, water
in which a chicken, ham or bacon has been boiled. Alternatively, stock
can be made from a ham bone or chicken carcass boiled with a few root
vegetables and herbs as available, and an onion. The stock should be
drained, allowed to cool and the fat removed from the surface.

On my recent trip to Ireland, I did some research into the Clanwilliam
Barony House Books. The House Books together with the Field Books and
Tenure Books were the original notebooks recorded by the surveyors when
compiling the Valuation of Ireland. They were recorded between the Tithe
Applotments and the Griffith's Valuation and revised over a period of time.
I had never heard of them, or read about them in any of the Ireland
genealogy reference books, before attending the genealogy conference
