Christys of fivemile town
« on: Wednesday 08 April 09 17:21 UTC (UK) »
Hello

we have traced my great grandfather to fivemile town in county tyrone. he married a Margaret gibson in 1900, his name was william christie b c 1870 but we think it may have been christy when he was in ireland. we would love to find out more information about margaret and william.
we believe that william was born in the workhouse and went to work on a farm when he was 10 years old, we are told that it was there he met margaret. apparently william was a gamekeeper and margaret a cook though this is only family story and we have no evidence to support this.
can anyone tell me how i would go about finding more information about these 2 ancestors. i think i have a marriage reference for them
Married on 5th july 1900 in fivemiletown county tyrone NI clogher parish church of ireland                but i have no idea how to use this tiny bit of information to actually order a marriage certificate, especially as we are not sure of the surname spelling.
can anyone help guide me in the right direction?
They left NI in approx 1902-1908. the family story is that they left ireland on a boat set for america but that there was a huge storm and the boat was damaged and blown off course ( i know its one of those family tales ) it eventually came to land in paisley scotland ( which is not on the coast as such) the family couldnt afford to wait for the boat to be fixed so they went inland to work and eventually settled in linlithgow (near edinburgh).  though apparently margarets brother did continue onto ireland when the time came.

william and margaret went on to have 7 children and over 30 grandchildren, so there are lots of decendents from these 2 people it would be lovely to be able to find out more about where we all come from.

If you have the names of bride and groom, date and exact location of marriage you can order a transcript of the marriage entry from the local Registration Office - most places in NI charge around £4 and it's usually the cheapest option (unless you want an actual certificate).

Here are the details from Emeraldancestors.co pay website:

Date of Marriage 5 Jul 1900
Groom Name william CHRISTIE
Bride Name margaret GIBSON
Church Fivemiletown Church of Ireland
Parish Clogher
Civil District Clogher
County Tyrone


This will be the correct spelling/date/church but I don't think you can check anything else before ordering (but you could ring them and ask).  On the same site I found the marriage of Robert Gibson and Anne Adams, but nothing forJohn Christie (any spelling).

Date of Marriage 17 Dec 1867
Groom Name robert GIBSON
Bride Name anne ADAMS
Church Enniskillen Civil Registrars Office
Parish Enniskillen
Civil District Enniskillen
County Fermanagh


The local registrar for this marriage is in Enniskillen:-
