Looking for more information on the hishon family

Hi Edmond,

There are 7 William Hisson Limerick baptism records on www.rootsireland.ie/ 1818 to 1880; 5 of these are from Shanagolden R C parish - 1838, 42, 73, 78 & 80

Do you have an approximate year of birth for him?

I couldn't find a marriage record of William to Lucy; the only Shanagolden R C marriage record for William Hisson is 1830 wife Francis Langford

I couldn't find them in the Irish Censuses, Tithe Applotments or Griffiths Valuation I'm afraid

Col 

You typed the name hisson in your message the name is hishon, his wife’s name would of been Lucy McHugh, William would of came from cragard in shanagolden 

His year of death was 1989 

And his year of birth was 1925

I'm getting old & silly!

I tried Hishon and got a few results:

The 1911 Census (free online at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie) has this family in Craggard (William would have been born 1843)

Residents of a house 7 in Craggard (Lismakeery, Limerick)

Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion

Hishon William 68 Male Head of Family R Catholic

Hishon Ann 25 Female Daughter R Catholic

Hishon Daniel 21 Male Son R Catholic

Hishon Frances 20 Female Daughter R Catholic

There is also this one from the 1901 Census with 2 Williams - the same one plus another born 1891:

Residents of a house 1 in Craggard (Lismakeery, Limerick)

Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion

Hishon William 58 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic

Hishon Ann 55  Female Wife Roman Catholic

Hishon William 10 Male Son Roman Catholic

Hishon Ann 15 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

No Hishons in any of the other censuses

Hishon Mary13 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Hishon Frances 8 Female Daughter Roman Catholic

Naughton John 23 Male Servant Roman Catholic

Naughton Tom 21 Male Servant Roman Catholic

Naughton Hanna18 Female Servant Roman Catholic

The Tithe Applotments have a William Hishon in Ballycormack, Shanagolden 1830. Only the address, landlord and amount paid are given - no family details http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/

Griffiths Valuation (http://www.askaboutireland.ie) also has one:

Publication DetailsPosition on Page35Printing Date1852Act9&10Sheet Number9,10,18Map Reference9

If they were R C the Shanagolden R C parish baptism records only go to 1877; the Government Records Office birth records stop at 1921- just too early for 1925 (I assume you didn't mean 1825?)

Tried Lucy McHugh 1920 + - 10 years in all counties but no luck there either

Col

Well the family of William hishon I’m looking for is 

Birth year -1925 death year 1989

Address would craggard house shaagolden 

O K Edmond then I suggest you contact (write to or phone) the one Hishon in Shanagolden Irish phone book as she may know the family (Her address is Cregard)

I am not permitted to post people's personal details on this site so you can get her details yourself in the Irish phone book

google 118.ie/ select people search, type in Hishon location Shanagolden and her details will come up

If you have problems, give your email address and I can send her details to that

Col

Well Col,

I have nil to do with Hisson / Hishon but want to publicly applaud the excellent service you provided in this Shsss! case.

A top job - better than Sherlock hissh-self!

Yours impressed,

Hi my email address is  edmondgva@gmail.com if you could send me on them details it would be great 

Hi,
I am looking for a shanahan family who lived in shanakeale I think it is splelt.

Julie or julia shanahan born 1928 died around 2000 maybe in Belfast.
Her mother was Margaret crean.
Your jelp tracking any of my ancestors down would be great.

Hi Shana,

Shanakeale is in Kerry which has very few birth/marriage /death records

Also, you are looking for people who were born and died recently and the records aren't yet available for those years

I checked www.rootsireland.ie/ (no Kerry records) for Shanahan - Crean marriages & Julie/a's baptism with no success; I also tried irishgenealogy.ie/ which has Kerry records

If Julie was born 1928 her mother Margaret would have been born around 1900; the 1911 Irish Census has this:

Residents of a house 3 in Gortacurraun (Ballynacourty, Kerry)

Please stop commenting on my post as I’m getting confused with information of my family so pls stop 

Hi Col and Shana. I am the IRO Liaison for Shanagolden and Kilcolman Parishes. I have to ask you two if you'd contact each other through email. This is not a forum and you've hijacked Edmund Nolan's post!

If you'd like to post a query, Shana, please go to the parish board that your family came from. This board is for Shanagolden, Co Limerick only.

I apologize to Edmund. I should have stepped in sooner.

Thank you,

Patti Hacht
