Coming to Ireland

Dear Chandley-McGuffey

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the long delay in getting back to you.

In relation to your wish to meet some relatives, you would really need to do a little more research that end first. Have you tried using ancestry, rootsireland or familysearch to see if there are any records available? Ancestry is also good if you wanted to have a search for the family name in their public member trees or messages. The latest free, online record is the 1901 and 1911 Census. You could have a look there also:

Seeking information regarding Thomas Jackson and Anna Maria Bagnall who married in Dublin in February 1823. Thomas was a Coal Factor. Their second son Thomas emigrated to Australia about 1853. Any leads very welcome.

As I searched, on the 8th of February 1823, in Dublin, Ireland, Thomas Jackson and Anna Maria Bagnall exchanged vows in a union that would shape their family’s legacy. Unfortunately, the records of this marriage were lost in a fire at the records office during the 1922 uprising in Dublin1. Thomas, described as a Coal Factor, likely played a crucial role in the coal trade, arranging logistics to bring coal from English mines to the Dublin market. His financial standing is evident from a portrait that has been preserved.
