Could you clarify approx. birthdate for Mary Ann Birmingham? was she born c1870 or married c1870? the dates  will make a big difference to what information might be available (and also the family's religion please)

Three of the children of Peter Birmingham and Bridget Corless are listed in IGI  (see www.familysearch.org for details by doing parent search).

Youn might be able to narrow down the date hey arrived in England by birthplaces of the children and the family's appearance in English census records but records weren't kept of people travelling between Ireland and the rest of the U.K.

Hi tks for the reply
Mary ann birmingham was born around c1870?

[shanew147]

from Slater's commercial directory of 1870 - Nobility, Gentry & Clergy section

  John Bermingham, Esq. J.P. Millbrook, Tuam

I'm not sure what the J.P. stands for..

there are a few Bermingham references around Co. Galway - Galway city, Loughrea, Dunmore & Gort

they seem to derive from '..the Berminghams, barons of Athenry'
The directory entry for Dunmore mentions 'Bermingham Castle, a beautiful ruin, once the seat of that ancient family'. Dunmore is described as 9 miles NE of Tuam

the only entry I see with the 'i' spelling of the surname in Co. Galway is a Grocer in Main st, Loughrea named Redmond Birmingham. he's also listed under the Ironmongers and Hardwaremen section.

You can order birth certificates for any of the children born in Ireland after 1864 but there are no birth certificates before that date so for earlier information you need to search for church records (if they exist).

Also, civil registration of Catholic marriages began in 1864 so for the parents' marriage it's again a matter of hoping to find church records.

The Irish Family History Foundation website includes data for Co. Galway - see www.irish-roots.ie  They have parish record transcripts,  which cost 5 euro each to view. The index is free to search once you register.

I dont see any Corless surnames in Tuam around that time but these commercial  directories only include gentry,business and trades-people, also  the 1870 edition does not include many farmers. The families you are interested in may all have left before this edition was compiled.

I have a bit of a gap in the data I have before this timeframe but I'll see if there are other Bermingham/Birmingham or Corless entries in other directories.
