I have recently discovered that
Bravenet is now limiting the number of messages that can be stored in
their message forum archives. We were about to exceed that limit, and
may very well have lost a few messages since they implemented this
change. However, I also discovered that the messages in the forum had
been quite messed up by Bravenet and we exceeded the limit because they
had duplicated a significant number of messages. I apologize for this
inconvenience. In order to avoid any further problems of this sort, I
have downloaded all the oldest messages that were stored on Bravenet
that were posted in 2001, and have added these Message Archives pages to
the site. There is now plenty of room for new messages. These downloaded
messages have been divided into two categories, those queries related to
specific family name(s) and those messages that were requesting general
information about Southern New England resources or research topics.
Family messages are listed alphabetically by the primary family name or
first name listed in the case where multiple names are mentioned.
General queries are filed by the date on which they were posted.

Date Posted: Jul 9, 01 - 1:25 PM
Email: [email protected]
Message: Sure now and I wish the was a four leaf clover to choose as an image, but you can't loose by going with the smilly face.
Alright.. I am looking for the descendants and/or Ancestors of John Gayton. His parents were Thomas & (??? ???)Gayton of Tipperary, Ireland, I believe that Thomas had a brother named Patrick Gayton who finally settled in New Brunswick and has descendants in Maine...
Thomas was born abt 1750, we believe in Tipperary Ireland somewhere. He had two families, the first with Eleanor he had eight children, the youngest was Thomas, born abt 1875, and died in 1858 at 67 years old. this in my branch of the first Thomas's family. The second family we have no knowledge of the second wife's name, and the first ofspring of this branch was John. In 1816, he left Ireland at an early age and stayed with his half-brother Thomas, in Argyle Nova Scotia, It seemed for a while he was planning to stay there and completed a bargin for some land adjoining his brother's land. He stayed 6 years and then abandoned his plans and moved to New York, and then settled in Pensylvania.
NOW, he had a brother or maybe a half brother with a family living in Boston Massachusetts at about 1840... This is the one I am really interested in learning about.
If he was a brother he would be born after 1791 in Ireland. if a half brother then he would of course have to be born pre 1791.
THanks for reading this and if you have any clues that I could follow, I would appreciate it very much.

Message: I am new to this forum, although I have been reseraching for all the ancestors for 30 yrs. I am particularly interested in NEWMAN from Ireland @1870 and McCONNELL @1870 to the Providence area. I have amassed a good amount but still need to find PATRICK NEWMAN and his 3 sisters...just where they came from
Thank you all

(born Sept 1878), Julia (born Oct. 1879), Thomas (Born Oct 1881), Eddie (Edward John Whalen my grandfather) (born May 1885).
Also living in this household was Mary E. (Whalen) Sullivan (born Nov 1872)and her husband, John L. Sullivan (born Mar 1868), children John D.(born Mar 1897, Hannah (born Mar 1898) and Catherine (born Jan 1900).
Would love to hear from anyone with info and have lots to share!!

Message: Hi Carol, Linda and I went on our first "mission" to St. Mary's cemetery in New Bedford today. It's a large cemetery, and we have only gotten about half way through, but we did find the following:
Edward Whalen (no dates)
his wife Katherine E., 1869-1906
Patrick H. 1877-1948
his wife Elizabeth 1880-1971
Alfred Gibbs 1903-1973
Is this the family?
Also there was these other stones:
John C. Whalon, July 6, 1886-Oct. 7, 1918
"Mother" Mae W. Phelan, 1899-1963
Richard Phelan, 1802-1874
His wife Bridget Phelan, 1817-1907
Ann Phelan, 1841-1913
We'll be going back again soon, and will keep our eyes out for any more.

Subject: Trying to find SHAW orphans - Fall River
Name: Sue

Message: Annie Herbert, daughter of Patrick & Ann, married James Shaw in Fall River MA in 1882. They had 6 children: John J. 1883, Hugh 1886, Jane 1888, James 1890, Herbert 1891, & Annie 1893. Sadly Annie Herbert Shaw died in 1894. James kept and cared for the children, but he became ill and died in 1898, leaving the children orphaned. In the 1900 census, Hugh was living with Mrs. Bridget Mitchell on Alden St., and the record stated that he was adopted. James, Jane ("Jennie"), Herbert and Annie were "inmates" at the St. Vincent's Orphan's Home in Fall River. John's whereabouts has not been found in 1900. In 1905, James was living at Bridget Mitchell's with Hugh. In 1906, John joined his two brothers, living at Bridget Mitchell's. Then Mrs. Mitchell died in July 1906, and none of the brothers are again listed in the Fall River City Directories. I have found no clues to help locate the Shaw orphans, or determine what became of them. Only one older cousin remembers that Annie Shaw may have married a man with a name sounding something like "Chanzy" and moved to New Bedford. Any clues or help would be most appreciated!

Message: HI
I must comment you on the great work on your family website, I am doing some research for information on St. Patrick Church in Fall River, and came across the site.
In comment to the D D Sullivan Funeral Home, I believe (if I have my facts right) the DD sullivan firm was run by Wilfred Driscoll in the 1960's and 1970's untill he became elected MAyor of Fall Rier, MAss. Wilfred later merged with the Waring Funeral Homes in Fall River, Wilfred is still a director with them and I would imagine he can be conatcted for any information regarding the DD
Sullivans.
If anyone has information on the Rectories of St Patrick Church on South Main Street Fall River, please advise me.

Falcon: Sorry to be so late in replying to you information. The only information I have on Briget is that her father was Thomas Curley and her mother's name was Margaret (no surname). Will keep in touch and let you know if I come up with anything else. By the way, if you haven't visited the tormeyclan site, Michael Tormey runs it and one of his ancestors came over with a priest name Curley. Bye for now. Bill

Try, Try, Again. Sorry my first message was interupted. My Great-grandfather, Patrick and his Wife Bridgit (Curley) arrived in Taunton some time after 1847. Grandfather Patrick was born there and married Elizabeth Heaphy, who was born in Ireland. On searching records, in Taunton, I have found four (4) families of Tormeys but can't find connection with any of them. Sue and Linder: Nice site. Was made aware of it by Marybeth (Tormey) Stevens with whom I have been communicating with for many years. She said she had trouble connecting with your site but I got it on the first try? Will be back in near future and will also try your e-mail addresses. BILL
