Naas Motorist Summoned - John Boushell

It is Friday again, when I share something that I have found whilst looking for records, that is interesting or adds information to our family tree.

Found in the Leinster Leader 24 August 1935, p 5

The text reads:
NAAS MOTORIST SUMMONED
At the Kilmainham District Court John Boushell, Shoemaker, Sallins Road, Naas, was charged by Guard Braddin, with carrying a passenger on his motor cycle, contrary to the Road Acts.
Defendant said he was carrying the boy to Dublin where he was returning to shool. His insurance did not cover a passenger.
The case was dismissed with a caution.

I have 2 John Bousell's in the family:
John Boushell (1881-????), Dermot's 2nd great uncle, who would have been 54 at the time of the incident.
John Boushell (1908-????), Dermot's great uncle, who would have been 27 at the time.

Marriage: Patrick Hynds & Margaret (Duffy) Gavin

On this day 27 May 1897, which was a Thursday, Margaret (Duffy) Gavin married Patrick Hynds.

Margaret Duffy is Dermot's 2nd great aunt, they are related through:

James Duffy (1815-1874) and Rose (--?--) (1819-1922), Dermot's great grandparents and Margaret's parents.

Mary Elizabeth Hemmings (1876-1958)

Mary Elizabeth Hemmings (1876-1958)

Mary Elizabeth Hemmings is my 2nd great aunt, she was born on 2 October 1876 in Crewe, Cheshire to Abraham and Fanny (Mason) Hemmings and was baptised on 7 January 1877 in St Paul's Church, Crewe.

Mary Elizabeth was a Major in the Salvation Army and this is verified with the census records of 1911 and 1939. She never married as it was forbiddden to marry an officer below rank. Family stories say she was married in secret in London to Mr. Parkings. This has not been verified, although she was in London in 1911. The following inscription is in a bible given to Bertha by Mary Elizabeth, this mentions M.E. Parkin, although the only M.E. Parkin I found in the census records in the Crewe area for 1901 were for a Mary E Parkin. It may be where the story originally originated and was further enhanced along the way.
Bertha was Mary Elizabeth's younger sister and the bible was given to her on her 12th birthday.
