i tracing for a family friend,pat cooke...his father was walter joseph cook. it was walter joseph who was sank by a u-boat in 1943. he was in merchant navy aboard SS Harbury. i have traced pats g/mothers line back to his gt gt grandad...joseph bratcher, b.1844/5(he was married to rebeckah(rebecca?)tucker, 1847-1888. made it a little easier cos bratcher is a bit unusual. only got as far as pats' grandad, william joseph cook, on the cook side. suppose the thread is "killed by a u-boat" isnt it? i get v.confused about all these threads....never was good at needlework! hahaha

I thought you wanted help on the cook family where is that thread then?

would like to know if its easier to trace family backwards? please dont laugh...i was given dundalk. co.louth. ireland as the possible birthplace of my gt gt grandma,catherine rice,and her father,peter rice. as i only live 16mls fr dundalk,i wondered about asking at the local RC church,for bygone rices or by paying a visit to foughart graveyard,where a lot of residents of dundalk are buried..& .making a list of any rices. would any of these ways be any use,or is it just me talking thro my a***!!!

just received a copy of wedding cert of dennis mahon and catherine rice.1861...grooms father:-joseph mahon...brides father:-peter rice....both down as labourers. witnesses catherine lynch and james wheliless(v.difficult to read!)...also have copy of dennis' marriage to bridget farrell..1868..grooms father:-joseph mahon DECEASED..brides father:-peter farrell..DECEASED....witnesses james malone and elizabeth lynch(relative of catherine lynch,above?)

Elaine...I tend to forget this is an "international board" and write as I speak...nearly started with Elaine....Alana...then realised what I was about...!!! Didn't notice the "expressions" until I read through the threads.....

Have been all over the Co Mayo/Co Galway....cannot locate/connect any Mahons listed above on the English Census..

Going back to Joseph and family...Wood St. Ince in Makerfield.....(Just in case there is a family connection to Dennis somewhere along this long long line)

hahaha..sorry erin. was just telling janey,cos she helping me trace my grandmas'(on mi mums side) family...she was either fostered or adopted..hoping the wedding cert i sent for might clear things! nothing at all to do with this wee thread. where in ireland you from? your expressions sound from the south,rather than the north! i'm in armagh

Cover your eyes, EGB. ;) Jane Kelly comes to us from another thread altogether -- I'll remember what it's about when Elaine gets that cert and adds to the thread. ;)

Elaine...You have the Heart across me so you do..!!

The Joseph Mahon (b 1827) may have been an elder brother to Dennis (just a suggestion) and he was still in Ireland 1863 when Harriet was born...the earliest Census he would show up on 1871 (jax) yesterday.

In the name of the wee man who is Jane Kelly...?

i know janey :-( ! i contacted ann,who sent me the copy of cath and dens wedding cert..she has the same as me,with the end and beginning missing. she is going to contact the person who sent it to her...unfortunately it won't be quick,cos he dont have a computer. cant take any longer than getting it from the gov site...been wating over 2wks for jane e kellys wedding cert!

Poor Elaine. ;)

Have I missed it somewhere? - what was Joseph's occupation on Denis's marriage certificate(s)?

If Joseph the hairdresser was living in 1871 he very probably is not the right person in any event, or why would Denis say in 1868 that his father was deceased?

pilot.familysearch has one death in Ireland in the right time period to fit:

Name: Joseph Mahon
Registration District: Mohill
Event Type: DEATHS
Registration Quarter and Year: 1865
Estimated Birth Year: 1805
Age (at Death): 60
Film Number: 101582
Volume Number: 8
Page Number: 196
Digital Folder Number: 4200214
Image Number: 00454
Collection: Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958

joseph the hairdresser is also on the 1871 census,having moved to prescot. joseph,dennis' father was living in 1861 but deceased in 1868...so he wouldnt be round in 1871.

same man as you found Elaine in 1871 but the 1851 says he was born Ireland
