Ian,

Have you a rough date I should be looking for?

Cheers

Phil

Hi Jean,

A quick one, do you have access to the census? There is a Joseph Bellas in the 1841 Census living in Penrith:
Head - William B. abt. 1801
Wife - Mary B. abt. 1801
Son - Joseph B. abt. 1828
Son - David B. abt. 1831
Dau - Mary B. abt. 1835

William is working as a Cotton Weaver.

Is this the right family?

Cheers

Phil

Jean,

There's a John Gillick in the 1821 census of Killynure, which is the only data I have for Cavan. He is a cotton weaver born in 1793 living at House No. 16 Parish of Crosserlough
Barony of Castlerahan
County of Cavan

There's also a Thomas (B. abt. 1759) (father?) & Catherine Gillick & family living at No. 18 whose a farmer.

Cheers

Phil

Thank you so much for the info on Bellas and Gillick.
Best wishes
Jean

Hi Phil
Have checked out your site. Although it doesn't seem to help me personally I would just like to say thank you for your generosity
and thoughtfulness and am sure it will be a wealth of information to others.
Cheers
Colleen.

Glad to be of help, do you need any further digging or is that enough of a start?

Cheers

There's not many Paul Castle's listed in any census, do you have any further information that could help me?

Cheers

Hi Phil

Would you have any BMDs for Portaferry, Ireland, Surname TORNEY

Many thanks for your kind offer of help

Dee

Hi Dee,

I've searched through my Irish stuff and found two Torney records. I'm afraid I don't know what they are, I suspect death. I have a document titled Inch Parish Records 1788 to 1872:

1811 ? Jan. Torney (100) Thomas of Ballygawley
1797 2 Feb. Torney (84) Mrs. Thomas of Ballugawlet - buried at Saul - name extinct

Hope these are of some help.

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil,

Many thanks for your kind offer.

I am searching for the birth of John Holvey born 1809 Westminster, London and hoping it might be found in your London Church Records.

Birth Information is taken from 1851 census so the year could vary.

Sorry I do not have any further information.

Congratulations on a very informative homepage.

Elizabeth Anne

Hi Phil

What do these records entail:

1538 – 1873 Church Records London Vol. 1

Thanks Phil

Info not meaning anything to me right now, but I will keep it on record for future reference as TORNEY is an unusual name. Thanks for looking for me.

Dee

Alan,

There are 22 Parishes some with more than one church. If you could let me know which parish you're interested in I could do a search, easier than me typing them all out.

Regards

Phil

Jackie,

I've replied to your mail from my site. As for the Buckley's after 1891, I found a John in the 1901 census, living with a Hannah. (Census ref:Class: RG13; Piece: 3341; Folio: 131; Page: 20)

I suppose the Hanna could be his sister although she's down as his wife. There are 5 children, the oldest being Fred born c1889.

Could this be right, or have you already seen this record?

Cheers

Phil

I sent this as a reply to your mail:
I've found some info, although I don't have access to much regarding Cheshire. I found the following:
John Buckley (Husbandsman) & Martha Adshead both of Sid. (?) 26 Oct 1783.

This was under the Prestbury marriages.

Did you get this?

Cheers
