Baptismal Record Wm Colson

revbarbara:

You would need to get a subscription to Roots Ireland  www.rootsireland.ie   They do have one month subscriptions for $28. Keep in mind that these are transcriptions of the actual records. The actual Church of Ireland registers are not online as opposed to the RC registers that went online last month. If you just want to know what Roots has for the siblings of William. I can look that up.

Colson/Colston:Any sibling you can find  of William Harris Colson/Colston, baptised June 1850 in Street Church of Ireland parish.  Siblings: Joseph b. c. 1840, Margaret b. 4 Apr 1842, Catherine b. 1842, Mary Ann b. 1846, Elizabeth b. 27 Aug 1848.  We really started to discover this part of the family only a few years ago.  All we knew was that they were Irish and lived in Brooklyn, NY.  So I am eager to learn what I can about where they came from, how they came, what they did. What a courageous journey! I'll look into the subscription. Bless you and thanks again, Roger.  Barbara, Brooklyn, NY

Barbara:

I could only locate three other baptismal records in the Street C of I parish: Catherine April 7, 1844, Mary Anne April 23, 1846 and Elizabeth Jane July 9, 1848. I could not find the older two children or the marriage record. My guess is that the family lived in a different area where the C of I parish is not on Roots or the records for that parish do not go back to 1840 or so.

Roger: Thank you.  This is more than I dreamed!  The quest continues!  ThX.  Barbara

Roger: I subscribed to RootsIreland and found a Church of Ireland Marriage Record for William Coleston, Street, to Anne Harris, Clonbroney, Clonguish Parish, Co. Longford, 18 Oct 1838.  This seems to be them based on dates of birth/baptism and emigration information with ages that we have for them and their children.  What do you think?  This is all so new to me.  ThX!  Barbara

Barbara:

I agree. This is the correct marriage record.

Roger:  Thanks again!  It seems they emigrated because of the Great Famine.  I have been using the Internet to get all the information I can.  Would like to know about their lives, thier journey, and why they wound up in Brooklyn, NY, when they landed in Philadelphia, PA.  Would there still be relatives in Ireland?  I don't know if you can imagine how great it feels to finally find them after so many years of searching.  I can't thank you enough!  Bless you, Roger!!!
