FARRELLY - (County Dublin, Baile Atha Cliath, DUB, (Province of Leinster, Laighin) - County Dublin)
My grandmother was Mary FARRELLY born in Dublin in 1887 (In the Kilmainham area I think) She was one of 13 children - three of them were Maggie, Rose & Cissie. Mary married Harry Jones who was in the Hussars in 1912 and moved to England. Rose married Frank Doran a major in the army and they had 2 children - Frank and Marian. Frank lived in Devon and had a daughter Helen. This is all the information that I have but if any of it means anything to anyone I would love to hear from them as I have been researching my family tree for 3 years and have found nothing on the Farrellys.

Keating - James & William - (County Dublin, Baile Atha Cliath, DUB, (Province of Leinster, Laighin) - County Dublin)
These brothers came to New Zealand in about 1863. The only reference we have to Dublin is that James uses Dublin on all the certificates we have - marriage, births of his children, and death. On James death certificate his parents are given as Elizabeth and James with his father's occupation given as Merchant. He died in an accident and we don't know whether his wife had accurate information about him in Ireland.The fact that both James and William obtained miner's rights at the same time makes us assume that they are brothers.

KOHLER, O'DELL in Howth - (County Dublin, Baile Atha Cliath, DUB, (Province of Leinster, Laighin) - County Dublin)
I am searching for cemetery and death details on Charles Kohler, my G G G G Grandad, who was a tailor in Howth and Dublin central. He is on record from 1848 to 1860 then disappears! My Dad has always believed our ancestry to have been Jewish but the Kohlers aren't on any Irish/Jewish records. Can anyone help please? Oddly, one of Charles' sons, Charles junior, married an Anne ODELL or O'DELL in a Church of Ireland ceremony at St Peters in 1853. My direct ancestor, Thomas, also a son of Charles senior, was born in Dublin but moved to and married in London.
If anyone can help I would be forever grateful. Thank you

TRINITY COLLEGE LOOK UP PLEASE! - (County Dublin, Baile Atha Cliath, DUB, (Province of Leinster, Laighin) - County Dublin)
My G G G G Grandad, Charles Kohler, was apparently at Trinity College in Dublin. He became a merchant regimental tailor with businesses or homes in Sackville Street, Harbour Court (both in Howth),College Green, Dublin, Howth Lodge (about which I can find nothing!) and in London. I can't find when or where he was born or his parents but have been told that this might be shown on his Trinity College records. He is on the registers in Ireland variously from 1848 to 1860 and because he used the .. style dots known as the umlaut over the "O" in the spelling of Kohler it is believed he may have been a German speaker and thus possibly not have been in Ireland too long prior to the time on which he showed up on record.
Therefore it would be especially helpful to find his date of birth or his parents names... or anything else! It's said in the family that he was Jewish but I have no evidence to support this.
Does anyone have access to the Trinity alumni archives please? I am in County Durham, England, and simply can't afford to purchase them or visit Dublin myself as much as I would dearly love to.
Thank you so much.

Adolphe (Head)31 Charley/Charles 21 Eva 18 who kept house for them and Joseph 22. Charles joined the Irish Guards and was killed in action October 1914. The military records show he was born in Ballybough and next of kin Joseph Delplanque USA which means that Joseph emmigrated to USA between 1901 & 1914.

Walsh / Allen - (County Dublin, Baile Atha Cliath, DUB, (Province of Leinster, Laighin) - County Dublin)
Richard Allen married Bridget Walsh 6th Dec 1904 in Registrars Office Dublin.
Richard was noted as a Private in East Lancs Regiment - address given was 117 Turners Cottages Ballsbridge. His father named as William Allen (deceased).Father's occupation given as House Painter
Bridget Walsh address was given as 11 Pembroke Park. Clyde Road. Her father was noted as James Walsh (deceased) Father's occupation given as Constable in RIC.
The marriage was witnessed by Michael Murphy and Mary Duffy.
From this marriage it is understood that the married couple eventually moved to Lancashire and had a daughter Christina Mary born in 1906, they lived in Bolton. Lancs.
Does anyone have any connection either to the Allen's or Walsh family.
Knowing how big families were produced in Ireland, it is more of less impossible to think that Bridget Walsh was an only child, although we know she had a cousin (Bridget Walsh) living in Cleator Moor. Cumbria, who we visited many years ago and who now sadly has passed away.
Family Surnames: Walsh (Ireland) Allen (Soldier)

David Weyman - (County Dublin, Baile Atha Cliath, DUB, (Province of Leinster, Laighin) - County Dublin)
I have been researching into David Weyman (d. 1822) who composed a book called 'Melodia Sacra' (1812-19). Weyman was a vicar choral at both St Patrick's and Christ Church cathedrals in Dublin in the early 1800s. He had a sister who lived in Cork Street in Dublin and a brother (I think), Edward who was parish clerk at Delgany, Co Wicklow. Edward married Esther Fox from Delgany and they had 5 children. I have searched for previous family history but to no avail. Has anyone heard of them or does anyone know of any Weymans in England or Wales in the 18th century who may have moved to Ireland?
