Pamela,
Thanks so much for suggesting the Dowling list. I am not sure if I ever
posted on there, but I will definitely check the archives. Am going to
be out of town for awhile, but will subscribe when I get back.
Thank you again. Hope we can keep in touch.

Hi All,
I recently received some information from the Irish Midlands Ancestry
relating to my Kennedy Family. I was able to gain a few more pieces of
information about the family however the overall result was a little
disappointing.
James Kennedy married Bridget Brennan sometime around 1818, possibly in
Killabban. No record of birth or a marriage for this couple. Both died
prior to 1849.
The first trace of the family is from the Doonane RC Baptismal records
which gives Mary Kennedy bapt. 17 July 1818.
Hi all,
I got a couple of tidbits of info from the Anglican Library in Dublin today. My
ancestor - Thomas Dulaney b. abt 1662 in Queen's County had a nephew Patrick
Delaney who became Dean of Down. Thomas and his sons came to America and
founded a large branch of Dulaneys here. It seemed that his nephew having
achieved some prominence might be a conduit to learning who the father of
Thomas was.
What I learned today was that the father of Patrick was named Denis Delaney.
(Dennis is a name that permeat

Tim,
That would include 90% of the Irish born in Ireland but lving in
Scotland in the 1871/1881 census.
Just a passing note.
I have been looking for the birth place in Ireland for most of my
family. They went to IRL for work sometime in the mid 1800's
Have a nice day and lots of luck

Hi there,
I have added an Encumbered Estate to the County Laois (IGP) website. The estate
belonged to Peter GALE Esq. and encompassed Ashfield, Gale and Raheen Div.
Encumbered estates were those which were sold due to debt. The tenants are
listed. It was common to have a lease of "lives" which meant as long as the
named people were alive the lease was in effect. It could be difficult to know
when people had died so sometimes well known figures were named since their
deaths were well known. The eldest c
Thank you all for the info on the SHELLEY name. I think my Thomas SHELLEY married Catherine Bourke, Catherine died before 1863. They had a son Daniel born about 1840? Thank you all again Jan from Australia
Can you look up the name Flood. My ancestors had a great deal of money with
2 sons becoming physicians. However, there were 2 other sons and I have not
been able to find out what they did. Thank you for your assistance

I did find it. Colonus means farmer. I discovered the Alumni Dublineses uses

I don't know anything about your Thomas, but my gggrandmother came for
Queens County and her name was Margaret Shelley. She married John O'Farrell
(shortened to Farrell when they came to America). We have never been able
to find any information on Shelley's from Queens. Does any of this sound
familiar to you?

Just a note on the topic of Trinity College. A couple of people I did lookups
for in Alumni Dublineses did not find their person or the book did not cover
past the late 1800's when they had someone there. I was just told by a
correspondent that she found a couple more titles:
"One is known as List of Pupils who entered TCD 1706-1901.
That consists of one fiche only. The number is 6035485.
The other is known as Register of Alumni of TCD up to 1968.
That one consists of 7 fiche. The number is 6035486."
Queenstown was the old name for Cobh, in Co Cork, Ireland

Laois was called Queens *County*.

Queenstown (Ireland),
"formerly called the Cove of Cork. The name was changed in 1850, out of
compliment to Queen Victoria, when she visited Ireland with her husband, and
created her eldest son Earl of Dublin. "
So, it was in Cork.
I only found one name like Newnham in my Griffith's Valuations CD:

You might like to try the DOWLING list - subscribe the usual way at

just in case. There are a lot of American DOWLING reserchers on it and you
may be lucky. :-)

For the last week or more I have been seeing some odd bounces to Hotmail accts.
In fact whole pages of them. I sent Hotmail a note just now but do not know
what the problem is. Obviously if you have a hotmail acct you may not receive
this warning but I thought I should try. After several bounces you will
automatically be unsubbed from Rootsweb lists.
I hope this will get through. You might consider an acct with another free
internet provider like Yahoo.com if this continues. There are others.

If you have someone you think or know went to Trinity College I will look for
him. Keep in mind these are mostly going to be Anglican and mostly Upper Crust.
You can mainly learn the father of the person. You could look for a brother who

Ireland,(circa 1851) and any other Newnham links or info from Ireland! I

married in Devon, to an Ellen Pengelly or Pengilly.
