A couple of Irish queries

found a sligo and kilkenny. You never know who has a subscription. worth a chance to ask.

 

that's okay learning

 

thanks been there

 

It most certainly is Ron.

 

I have a sub on rootsireland and can only find for your first query two births to Maria Giblin and William Redham (that's how they have it) both born Sligo, William Redham bp.27 September 1840 and Margaret Redham bp.6 Nov1843.
So William was b.1840
For William and Catherine Darby there is one birth that I can find for a Mary Anne b. 16 July 1882 at Magheraboy (This is a town,but also a townland in which the town is situated) Sligo.
If you p.m me with an email address, I can let you have copies of William and Margaret's birth records which are from rootsireland and because of copyright I cannot put on here.
Mary Anne's record is from irishgenealogy.ie

In the meantime I will have more of a look to see what I can find

 

The only other item on Reddam surname that I can find is a death in Sligo 1874 of a Mary Reddam aged 80,so b,1796.
Nothing on census records for Reddam

 

I will put this info out on the PEI group...he may not have email notifications set up properly!! He has been so anxious to find someone with a roots Ireland Sub!!

 

@Figgs what's the PEI group? Just curious.

 

On Facebook, I belong to 2 Prince Edward Island genealogy groups...one for family photos and one for straight genealogy. It's a small island and pretty close-knit as a rule, so there is always someone who can help anyone with roots there. Mine are Scottish and English and they arrived in the 1820's plus I have a 250 page book on the Bowness ancestors that my dad helped write...so I not only can help but have found relatives whose ancestors are buried in the same cemeteries as mine. So when I get back there I will have many new found friends!!

 

Trying to get the garbled words at the bottom out of this post...#27.....damned tablet acting up!! If this doesn't work...HELP, Doug, lol!

 

Dear Jan,
I am sorry you are confused.
There is a reason for everything...In every canada census William reddam put a different birthdate/year. I have spent 20 years searching this out, uncovering every record possible for reference. Even his death record has a different year to the point that we now have 8 possible different birth dates/year. We can only guess why (no trust in government being irish, pension reform, being private). Having a record from Sligo as to his birth or baptism would allow us to confirm the match and that it is the same person. We have we believe a record of two marriages and a birth of his child in Sligo but without any birth record there is a debate. The first marriage uses the french/Spanish -Latin name(possible depending on the education of the priest) of William (Gillimus?-sorry my spelling is off, Reddam)to a Maria Giblin on April 12, 1866. The second to Catherine Derby on Jan 22 1882 uses William and lists him as a widower which allows us to summarize the first wife had died. The second marriage was before they produced a child named Mary Anne, b. Jul 16, 1882.
Sorry for being a paper tiger. I had heard roots web might have more info not in other places.
My second enquiry is for Peter William Costello is similar. No birth date recorded for a Peter William Costello in PEI. The census there in PEI puts age in a catagory not a date. We know he was married to a Ellen Kennedy and someone found a record in a 1819 record from the ossary in Kilkenny. It was said in PEI they were from Windgap, Kilkenny but no proof of either born there.
There is a reason for every request as I am at my wits end trying to confirm the birth place of both. Being disabled I am on limited income I cannot afford every subscription hence my request on the mercy of strangers to help break down these brick walls so I can die in peace.

 

PEI stands for Prince Edward Island, a province located on the East Coast of Canada. The facebook group there is a tight knit group of geneaology like minded people who help each other out like the great Heather does. I look for her posts as she is very witty, and wise.

 

first thank-you, for making my day.
I am shaking so it is hard to type.
I sent you my email address as I could not find how to pm you.
I updated what i had as records on this site.

 

just wondering who is Doug that you asked for help.
Ron

 

a corection to my last post.
William Reddam first marriage is to Sarah McLoughlin on April 12 1866. As it was custom to be at least 21 years old to be married the best birth year to vhoose from all record dates would be 1839/40. Nothing has been found of her but it is noted her parents were James McLoughlin and Maria devanny. William's father is listed as William and mother as Maria Giblin. Nothing can be found of sarah but as I noted when William marries the second time he is listed as a widower so we assume Sarah died before 1882, the year of his second marriage to catherine Darby and the birth of the first child, Mary anne.

 

How can you email me as email address of members is not shown on their profile ?

 

Oops...I answered the same time as Jan... sorry for the repeat!

Doug is one of the admins who lives in Australia so he is the one on at night. My tablet added some garbled text that I couldn't remove because we only have 15 minutes to edit a post and I hadn't seen it till too late. Only the admins can do it after the 15 minutes. Thank you for the compliments...now I am blushing, lol.
