I agree with Elwyn this looks like a version of Latin used to record a name in Catholic church records. Donatus is not the most usual version for Daniel but it is occasionally seen. It is also...

Although it would be possible for Catherine to marry in 1877 at age 16, her marriage record did indicate full age, so over 21. Much FindMyPast indexing was done in the Far East and not double keyed,...

I wasn't sure if you had seen some first hand accounts of the actual bombing online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/70/a4134070.shtml

Yes I think the first Charles must have died.

Kathleen is a common variation of Catherine so easily interchangeable.

I found what could be Catherine Mary Murray nee Boyle's death in 1899 but the image is very unclear. I wonder if that is the reason the children are with their uncle in the 1901 census. Here is the...

irishgenealogy.ie takes a little getting used to and is a little clunky but it is free!!

One online tree by Robin Purves shows the eldest girl as Evyleen Nora Murray born 1923, with husband Roderick Neville McDonald. It has one child marked private. It lists Evyleen's death as 14 SEP...

For Catholics Stanislaus is not that uncommon a name.

The Murray children appear to be living with their uncle Charles Boyle in the 1901 census see image at

Yes you should be able to find them with a bit of work. Once you have searched narrow your results to SR District/Reg Area - Londonderry and then just wade through the individual images.

One of the online trees on Ancestry shows the S in William S Murray as Stanislaus and his wife as Mary O'Gorman. I saw 5 trees there for this family - some rather small. Two were private. None of...

I have had a further look for Peagum bmd in the Limerick area and cannot see any births with this name between 1864 and 1900 - ( full Irish civil registration started in 1864). However I note that...

I notice that the name Peagum does not appear in Griffiths Valuation which acts as the mid 19th century census substitute and covers all Ireland. It was a survey of the occupiers of land and...

No timescale given and based on the past when we were given timescales these were normally never kept to either, so we wait with fingers crossed.

The NLI registers are Roman Catholic registers so hence baptism and marriages. The Irish RC church was less interested in recording burials and very few churches in the 19th century had burial...

Hi Maeve looking at Griffiths Valuation (the mid 19th century census substitute) the name Gillan appears most in Donegal followed by Antrim Sligo and Monaghan. It is very rare in the southern half...

The official launch date is supposedly 8th July but the Irish have missed promised dates before. Also these microfilms only go up to the 1880s, later periods you will still need to pay up to Irish...

Hi Ethel
Did they have any children in Ireland 1864 or later? Civil registration started in Ireland in 1864, and if you found a birth it might help pinpoint the family. You could check the Irish...

I had a look for Naylen, Nailon, Nealen etc on Griffiths Valuation the Irish 19th century census substitute. The version that I found was Neylon, which was almost exclusively a Mayo name. So I...
