thank you

Re Fulwood Barracks -
Have you tried contacting the Lancashire Infantry Museum, now housed at Fulwood Barracks ?

http://www.lancashireinfantrymuseum.org.uk/visitor-information/contact-information/

I imagine they could tell you which regiments were stationed there in 1871, or indeed, which regiment Patrick belonged to. He was a Private, as you'll know from the census.

ArgyllGran

that was my thread and 9 years on I am no nearer to finding anything about them
I leave it and keep coming back to them but don't know where else to turn

thanks for all your help

And this from 2009:

However, following the advice given in that thread, there doesn't seem to be any O'Neill or Neill in Kilbannon in 1901 or 1911 census, as far as I can see.

EDIT:

Re Pollacorragune , which you mention in that thread, there's this family in 1911 and 1901, but whether or not they're any relation to your O'Neills, I can't say:

Thomas Oneill
in the Web: Ireland, Census, 1911
Name: Thomas Oneill
Gender: Male
Age: 50
Birth Year: abt 1861
Relation to Head: Head

It looks like you maybe already knew about Kilbannon?

Is this your thread from 2011 ?

Under all of those burial records it says Knocknagur.
Knocknagur appears to be a particular estate/ Perhaps the O'Neill family worked there ?:

If the 1871 census is the right one how do I go about finding information on Patrick ONeill as a soldier at Fullwood Barracks

Thanks once again for your help

ps the 1911 census is correct

When you look at the image of the 1911 census for Patrick and family, it says he was born in Kilbannon, Co Galway.

From a Google search, Kilbannon / Kilbannen is in the Archdiocese of Tuam - so I suggest the 1871 census record I posted is the correct one.


1911 for reference:

Patrick O Neill
in the 1911 England Census
Name: Patrick O Neill
Age in 1911: 62

Spot on. <3

for our reference re location:

Margaret Carney

Not sure if that's him as never found him on 1871.
Patrick married in 1872 to Margaret Carney.
That's the first sighting of Patrick

Thanks
Linda

Sounds as if James might have been Patrick's brother ??

Where and when was Patrick's marriage? After 1879, obviously.

Could this be him ? - though no help re parents:

Patrick Oneill

I don't know where to begin to thank you all. The reason I am looking at this couple is a long stretch but on my great grandfather marriage certificate the witnesses were James and phoebe o'neill. My gr grandfather was Patrick o'neill c 1850 Galway Ireland. Father Patrick and his occupation was farmer. Same as on James o'neill marriage
Just trying to find out about the oneills
Thank you so much you are all wonderful and I very much appreciate ypur help

Marriage of Winifred Cheetham:

Marriages Sep 1935 (>99%)
Cheetham Winifred Risley Leigh 8c 715
Risley George Cheetham Leigh 8c 715


Winifred Risley
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: Winifred Risley
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Married
Birth Date: 6 Apr 1910
Residence Year: 1939
Address: 67,Warrington Road
Residence Place: Leigh, Lancashire, England
Occupation: Unpaid domestic duties
Schedule Number: 30
Sub Schedule Number: 2
Enumeration District: NVRY
Registration district: 460-2
Inferred Spouse: George Risley
Household Members:
Name
George Risley
Winifred Risley

At the same address, but as a different household, are George Risley (1887) and Margaret Risley (1877), Winifred's in-laws.

Also an 8-yr-old child, George Elias Sednawi, a grandchild of George and Margaret. (Son of the Risleys' daughter Elsie Mary.)
I'm not posting all the records to prove that, as it's so far away from the original subject of this thread. (Unless you're interested, Carter ?! )

Looking at births, there were several other Sednawi/Risley children.
Their father died in 1937, and Elsie Mary remarried in 1956, to George Williamson, and died in Westminster in 1968.
On the 1939, young George Elias's surname has been changed to Grant, with the date 24/2/70.
I assume he changed it himself for some reason. He died in London in 1984 as George Elias Grant.
He was on various London ER's over the years, as Sednawi.

Another child of Mary and Henry:

The 1931 marriage is of John William's daughter, Phoebe, I think.

O NEIL, PHOEBE mms JARVIS

Birth date per 1939 register already posted - 8th Nov 1906.


ADDED:
a Maggie Jarvis is a visitor to the O'Neills in 1911, already posted.

Clutching at straws with that ? remarriage - completely missed the 1911 death !!
