Thanks for the info mickym. How can I find out more about Frederick Nightingale of Newry? Sounds interesting. Could most of the Nightingales be related though? Big family. Hope Newry and Carrowreagh are one family.

 

Is there a list of wills that show children names that inherit from their parents?

I had come across a will from a John Nightingale from Carrowreagh and another two Nightingales,but they show one or two people that seem to inherit.

 

thanks again

 

clinton

I think the only lace you can get the info is Via Proni.

 

They May hold further info

 

Mike

please excuse typing keyboard plays up sometimes

 

Mike

 

Will try and check out a bit further for you

 

Mike

This site may answer a few Questions you may have

 

No problem. I thought my keyboard was the only one doing it!

Does PRONI allow accessiblity to all their links?

 

Mike thanks for picking up the Newry bit. This is the closest I've got to the same (Frederick NIGHTINGALE) name from Ireland. Can we prove his second name?

I think the only way you can find that out is direct contact with proni.

There must be land deeds .

With that there Names would be in Full  as Either owning or leasing the Land

 

 

I rechecked The I F H F, THESE ARE only Nightingale records

 

Civil Birth Nightingale  1865 Co. Antrim   note no name
Church Baptism Nightingale Robert 1868 Co. Sligo

 

Marriage Nightingale George 1864 Co. Antrim

Marriage Nightingale Ann Jane 1869 Co. Antrim
 Marriage Nightingale John 1869 Co. Antrim

 

 

 

Hi Micky, thanks for the info.

If I can't find any info of Frederick Frank Nightingale in Ireland, is there a possibility he could have been born in England and perhaps moved to Ireland with the family a bit later?

Hi Clinton yes that is Possible,MORE LIKELY Scotland,A lot of Scotch Moved over to Ireland about that time.They settled in Antrim, Down,And around those Areas.Its worth checking the scottish records first.

 

Mike

Clinton TRY contacting Groni,To see if they have a Birth cert for that year.

Its a longshot but worth trying
