« on: Monday 07 August 06 01:43 UTC (UK) »
Looking for gr. grandma's birth/christening records.
Mary Jane Ellen Cruise/Cruice was born 5 Sept.1865 (town unknown) Longford. She was a dau. of John Joseph/John P. and Mary Ann Moore Cruise.

John Joseph/John P.Cruise was born abt.1822 in ? Ireland. Mary Ann Moore was born abt. 1833 in ? Ireland.Her father may have been Thomas Moore.
John & Mary Ann married,yr.& place unknown in Ireland.
They had the following children -
John Joseph Cruise - b. 5 May 1860 Tipperary?
Thomas E. Cruise - b.1861/62 Dublin?
Ellen/Ella Cruise - b.1863/64 Dublin?
Mary Jane Ellen Cruise - b. 5 Sept.1865 Longford

The family immigrated to the U.S., where son Bartley Bartholomew Cruise was born in Phila,Pa. on 12 July 1869.
By 1870, the family was living in Bucks Co.,Pa. were John was a mill wright. He died before 1880.

Any help/advice on locating marriage,birth records would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Nancy,

Do you know anything about John Joseph/John P's occupation? The family were in three different counties within a five or six year period.

What denomination were the Cruice / Cruise and Moore  families? Were they members of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland), Methodists or members of the Presbyterian Church?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
