Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on Thomas Carlton (father John Carlton
and mother unknown) and Jane Forde (father Thomas Ford and mother
Jane Clancy). (Last names sometimes spelled as Carleton and Forde on
records found) Thomas and Jane were married in Roman Catholic Chapel
of Hospital in the Registrar's District of Hospital in the Union of
Killmallock, County of Limerick, Ireland according to the marriage
registration I have. They had three children, John (called him Jack)
1873, Catherine 1876, and Bridget 1878 all born in Mitchelstown,
Galbally, Limerick, Ireland. I believe there is a fourth child,
William Carlton also born in Ireland abt. 1875 but I am still waiting
on a birth record on him. The family then moved to Wales and had
another child, Marie 1881 and lived in Bedwellty, Monmouthshire,
Wales according to the 1881 census record. Jane, John, Catherine,
Bridget and Marie came to america from the Liverpool port to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania aboard the ship "SS Lord!
Clive" July 27, 1885. Thomas had come over about 1882. They moved
to western Pa, Fayette Co., Westmoreland Co., and Washington Co and
surrounding areas. I would love to talk to anyone with any
information on this family line.
