McQuade of County Meath Ireland
« on: Friday 31 July 09 23:09 UTC (UK) »
Help needed to find my grandmothers family. Thomas McQuade farmer and Elizabeth Bell from Killnean Westmeath. This information is on Elizabeth, my grandmothers marriage certificate in 1890 when she married here in Australia.  Elizabeth left Ireland with her sister Alice and sailed on the Anglo Indian in 1883 for Brisbane, Qld, Australia.  Can someone help me please.

do you know Elizabeth's approximate year of birth ?

Full Civil Registration began in Ireland in 1864, so if she was born after that started you should find her in the Civil BMD registers.  Familysearch have an online index to these available at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

research certs can be ordered by post from the GRO using the index details - see their website at : www.groireland.ie

Thank you Shane for your prompt reply and I didn't know about the 1864 start of civil registrations.  However as grandmother was 23 on the ships list in 1883 and 22 when she married in 1890 I think I have a problem. Perhaps it wouldn't have been acceptable to be 6 years older than your husband. Will go and see if I can find her at Familysearch  Thanks.
