Kemmis name

Judith Townsend — 30 Jul 2001 12:10:19 GMT

The Kemmis family name started with the name De Camois, which went to De Camoys, then made many changes as the family travelled through Britain. With the main family settlements in Wales

The De Camois's went to Britain with William the Conqueror.

They were cousins to Vasco De Garma (I think that is how you spell it) who circumnavigated the world.

Kemmis is the Irish pronumciation, they went to Ireland to escape their cousin Oliver Cromwell, returning to Wales after he has died.

Kemeys is the Welsh spelling.

This is the line of Edward the Third through his mother Maude.

This is all documented through Bourkes Peerage, Exstinct and dormant,

This is my grandmothers family.

Ballys (towns) of Co Kildare within Monasterevin Parish

Mzfitz4o — 14 Oct 2008 2:37:33 GMT

I recently acquired baptism reords for three of my ancestors who were in the Monasterevin Parish records. dated between 1826-1830 the addresses given for them were Cowpasture, Pass and Ballagh. I have tried locating maps to see how these areas relate to one another. I am pretty sure that Cowpasture still exists but Pass may have become Passland and perhaps Ballagh is now Bally?

Sponsors on these records were Matt Ennis, Catherine Walsh,
Dan Quinn, Mary Carrol, Patrick Wright and Biddy Dunne

I am trying to see a migration pattern for this family who left Ireland in 1832 just before the Great Famine. Can anyone advise?

MICHAEL + JULIA CURRAN - LOOKING FOR MARRIAGE DETAILS

KathrynBryant1 — 12 Oct 2008 3:34:52 GMT

Can any one help please, I am researching my ancestors and my great grandmother's parents were Michael and Julia Curran. Julia's maiden name was Knowd. They had a daughter Ann/Annie who was born on 22 Sept 1865 in Doneany. I am trying to find the date of the marriage of Michael and Julia and where they were married.

I would be more than grateful if someone could assist please. I live in England and we do not have the facilities here so much to search in Ireland.

Thank you in anticipation.

1600's emigrant / Ennis in Co. Kildare?

EVR2006 — 26 Apr 2008 4:17:12 GMT

I've found information that one of my ancestors, a William Ennis, was born in County Kildare in 1613, emigrated to Virginia/Maryland (one listing suggests he came over in 1635), and died sometime between 1681 and 1684. I've also found one source, however, suggesting he came from England, not Ireland.

I am very eager to find out more about his origins, but don't know how to begin. I've searched Ancestry.com records & family trees (and the emigrant lists I can find online), and can't find him anywhere. I am hoping the Co. Kildare reference I found wasn't a mistake! I'm new to this, and would be very grateful for any help/advice, either on researching Irish emigrants for this time period generally, or if there are resources/connections I could contact for Ennis surname family research...!

Thank you in advance for any help!!

Looking for info on my grandad Francis Kelly (possibly Monoghan) born Kildare 1899

helenroberts93 — 20 Aug 2008 7:25:19 GMT

Hi, I am looking for any information about my grandad Francis Kelly born in Kildare on the 1st April 1899. He had 7 siblings some brothers some sisters his mother was called Bridgette and I think a daughter was Bridgette also. There has been some doubts as to his true name being Kelly as after a stint in prison in Manchester England when my grandma visited the warder told her he didn't have a FRancis Kelly there just a Francis Monoghan so maybe that was his true surname. We have been told he was thrown out of Ireland in around 1937/38 and he met my grandma in Coventry (Eva Parsons)and married there, they had 4 children. Any help would be gratefully received I am struggling to find any info only his death record (1969 Littleborough, Lancashire) where he is listed as Francis Kelly and it states his date of birth. He told my grandma he was Francis Kelly and was born in Kildare.
Please help me if you can
Thank You

Can some kind person direct me to a site that has passenger lists of emigrants from England to Australia in 1841, please?
According to the 1841 England Census, a Thomas Dunn[e] aged 50 and born 'about 1791' was working as a Hawker in Manchester. This is possibly my gg grandfather who arrived in the Colony of Victoria 1841. The birth date is right, [Co Kildare 22/12/1791] and the arrival date in Oz is right. I just need a ship and a passenger list!
Any help appreciated.

Quaker Surnames - Province of Leinster

jeanrice — 22 Jun 2001 5:38:41 GMT

The province of Leinster includes the Irish counties of Kildare, Kilkenny, Carlow, Dublin, Laios/Leix (Queen's), Longford, Louth, Meath, Westmeath, Offaly (King's), Wexford and Wicklow.

The purchase of the Griese valley in south Kildare at the end of the 17th century by two Quakers, John Barcroft and Abel Strettel, and the subsequent development of the village of Ballitore as a Quaker-dominated settlement, introduced some unique surnames to this corner of southern Kildare.

A boarding school was founded in Ballitore, in 1726, by the Yorkshireman Abraham Shackleton. In the beginning, its pupils were mostly Quakers, but it later took children from other traditions.

The school lists, the Society of Friends Carlow Meeting records and the Ballitore Burial Ground inscriptions attest to the surnames once prevalent in the area: Barrington, Boakes, Chandlee, Chayter, Duckett, Fuller, Haughton, Leadbeater, Lecky, Shackleton and Pagett. Few of the surnames are to be found in the area presently.

Help with a Latin name of a town in Co Kildare CLAHERENGAY

SharonCrowley — 17 Jul 2008 12:47:32 GMT

In 1873 at St Cecelia's RC Church in Rochester Pennsylvania
a German priest who proberly knew English well enough to speak and write it but when hearing a strong accented Irish man tell him where he was br put the town down in latin as he heard it CLAHERENGAY

ST.Cecelia Baptismal Records

Gerard Joseph, born 24 May 1873; baptized 1 Jun 1873; father: Richardi Welsh, Claherengay, County Kildare, Hibernia; mother: Helena Boyle, Tannit, County Donegal, Hibernia; sponsors: William Swords, Catharine Farrell

Its abit of mess we have here cause we can't find it and don't know what the German Priest was trying to write.

I cked on a Latin to English site and got this for Claherengay so the word does exist in Latin but it sure is not anything resembling a name of a town anywhere.

claherengay
clam : secretly, in secret.
clamo : to call, shout, cry aloud, proclaim, declare.
clamor : loud shouting, cry.
claro : to make bright or clear, make clear in the mind.
clarus : clear, bright / renowned, famous, illustrious
claudeo : to limp, halt, be lame, to hobble.
claudo (clausus) : to confine, shut up, close, blockade, besiege.
claudus : lame.
claustrum : bolt, bar, prison, den, pen, enclosure/ cloister.
declaratio : a clarification

We are at a brick wall here it seems and will never find out what the Priest ment.

The Welsh's were horsemen and worked on estates that is about all we know. Is there an estate in Kildare that might come abit close to the above ?

Any help appriciated as are any suggestions

Thank you
Sharon

James Judge family

John Daly — 24 Oct 2005 4:04:51 GMT

On 10 February 1867 my grgrgrandfather, James Judge of Robertstown, Co. Kildare married Anne Lawler of Huerthatch (not sure of that name, it is difficult to read) at St. Patrick's Chapel, Celbridge, Co., Kildare. James, born in 1837, was the son of John Judge and Elizabeth Flannigan. Anne, born in 1844, was the daughter of Tom Lawler and Ellen Daly.

Tom Lawler's occupation is given as "boatman." I assume he worked on barges on the Grand Canal. The Judge family may also have been involved with barges on the canal because James Judge was the captain of a canalboat in 1875 in Brooklyn, New York. He later operated a number of barges in New York Harbour.

James and Anne Judge sailed for New York soon after they were married in 1867, and settled in the Brooklyn, New York, and Northern New Jersey areas. Their children were Ellen (1868), Elizabeth (1872), Annie (1874), James (1877), Thomas (1880), and Kathryn (1883). Anne Judge died in NY in 1904 and James Judge died in NY in 1913.

Any additional information on these families would be greatly appreciated.

Army personell in the Curragh Co. Kildare up to 1922

lillywhite2 — 25 Jun 2008 7:36:06 GMT

Re-in response to the many queries which may not have received a reply. Reason is:
In 1922 Army Personell in the Curragh Camp were with the British Forces. In that year the Camp was handed over to the Irish Defense Forces.
The British returned to England taking with them all related documents. A FEW chaps who had married Irish lassies remained in Ireland.
It's unlikely one finds any available knowledge relating to British regements. That information can probably be saught from British Army resources.

Costello's

raywickky — 2 Feb 2008 8:19:47 GMT

Seeking info on Michael Costello born abt 1825 in Kildare Co. to Roman Catholic family.

His name is spelled on all known records as Michiel, but have had no luck finding such a name in Irish records search.

Michiel was in KY by 1856 when his first child was born. Do not know if any of his relatives moved to US at same time as he, or even for sure when he came over.

Any help is appreciated.

The record I have found that notes his birthplace as Kildare Co has what looks like Pulana after it, but it may be Ireland...it's very hard to read so I suspect it's Ireland.

Coates of Kildare

I am attempting to trace back from William J Coates born 1850 in Kildare,Ireland, died 1912 in Chicago. He was a baker which was a family tradition which I believe ended with my father, Thomas Coates, born 1894, Ireland died 1986 Essex. Any information would be appreciated.

my grandad

RichardClements74 — 16 Dec 2007 9:57:22 GMT

Not to sound like an old celebrity for those who know him "i wanna tell you a story" some of the story may seem romantic someabout those searching for a new life and some of the story is possibly about religious differences and family deceit some i know to be true from the record searches that i have done and the rest is what has been passed down to me through the family so if any is untrue then i can only apologise now but it does make good reading.

Around 1890 my great grandmother elizabeth jane clark set off from ireland to the usa for perhaps a better life and then around 1892 my great grandfather thomas james did the same it is not clear to me wether they knew each other before this time they met in the usa and were married around 1897 and had from what i can gather around 4 children my grandad thomas james (or pop as we knew him) was born in manhattan on the 4th of january 1901 i am unsure wether any or all of his siblings survived.they were on the 1900 uscensus living at District 452, Manhattan, New York Co., New York 126 West 63rd Street and the 1910 us census living at544 West 50th Street, Line 45
but not on the 1920 us census so i presume that they moved back to ireland between 1910 and 1920.

On the 14th may 1921 pop married my gran mary (lee) in stpatricks chapel magherafelt i have been told that pop and my gran were different religions 1 being catholic and the other either protestant or presbyterian and pops family frowned upon this infact as the story goes pop was to inherit a couple of farms somwhere in the north but after he married my gran his family namely an uncle burned him out of his house and chased him from the north and pop and my gran were helped by a preist to escape the rage of his dissaproving family after this pop and gran fled to a farm on main street buncrana in donegal and pop worked on a farm as a labourer aswell as joing the irish volunteer reserves and while serving in the reserves he was involved in an accident on 31 march 1923 which put him into hospital until 8 febuary 1924 after this i lose them for a while and then they move to kilcullen county kildare where my father was born and pop lived until a ripe old age of 90 and my gran until she was 69.

if i find anymore i will add to this story and if you know anything please let me know.

Patrick Kelly from Kildare

vickijoy11 — 10 Nov 2007 4:59:39 GMT

Hi,

Hoping someone can help as I am getting no where.

My gg grandfather Patrick Kelly, born about 1817 in Kildare Ireland, arrived Australia approx. 1836. Settled in the Dubbo area of NSW and married Ann Keenan (Kiernan?) 16 May 1848 in Kings Plains. Patrick died on 5 April 1885 in Ewenmar, Dubbo, NSW at the age of 68. They had a son, Daniel Kelly (my great grandfather). I believe they had 12-14 children but I know only of Daniel, who married Rosina Martha Hall.

Is anyone out there related, or know of any Irish sites to try to get baptism records from around 1817. I know that they were Catholic. I am assuming that Patrick came to NSW as a convict, but have no proof (there are quite a few Patrick Kellys!).

Thanks!

I am the great grandaughter of Arthur Price and Janet Price (nee Rutland?). My grandmother, Audrey Kathleen, is the youngest of five children: Arthur, Desmond, Ernest and Isabella Jane (Betty) being the others (not in age order).

I believe Janet Price passed away when my grandmother was five or so. My grandmother was raised in a boarding school in Dublin after that, then eventually, most of the children moved to Southern England (Surrey & Dorset I believe).

If anyone has any information on my family, it would be wonderful! I know they lived on a farm. Thanks!

My great grandfather was called John Joseph Flanagan, he was born on 25/02/1879 in Carbury Kildare.

The story goes that his family owned a stud farm. He fell in love and married my great grandmother, whos name i do not know, on religious grounds he was threated with being cut off from his family if he married her. He did marry her and they lived in Rye Sussex.

I'm almost certain it was her second mariage too.

If anybody has any information I'd be very very happy to recieve it.

On a passenger list of Hilda Crapper travelling across the border from Canada to States (vising sister) is a name listed above of Henry? fields/murphy. listed is his father (james)adress in Ireland with the above address. A few months later we know Hilda married George Murphy. (he was born in states and his father was Thomas who emmigrated there.
It seems a bit of a coincidence that a field/murphy is the line above.
