Just to say hello as a new member. My paternal grandmother Mary Anne Stones was born in Fearboy, KIlcumrerah, Co. Offaly, in 1879. I'll be adding her to the new whatcha-ma-callit feature. Me, I live near Tucson, Arizona, USA.
Tucson Mike:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
There were two Stones families in the 1901 census for Fearboy and one family in the 1911 census. Not sure of their connection to Mary Anne.

Roger,
Thanks for your interest. Yes, one of the Stones in 1901 is Mary Anne's father Patrick who passed away before 1911. No doubt the others are relations, but I'm not sure how. Patrick's will or the probate of it is also available onlilne, which I was surprised at since he was only a (poor?) farmer in Fearboy. -- I like the new Chronicle feature. I added a preliminary record for Mary Anne and await its imprimatur. See you around the parish!
