Farrell Moygrehan
« on: Wednesday 05 February 14 10:46 GMT (UK) »
I would like any information on John Farrell and his wife Bridget.   The lived in Moygrehan  (Killua) Clonmellon, Westmeath.  John died in 1952 and Bridget died in 1968.
I would like to know when and where they married.  I would also like to know  Bridget's maiden name and where  she  was  from before she married.
Thanks

Some of the information you are looking for is quite recent and is unlikely to be online. The online civil registration index goes up to 1958 so you could check for John's death there to get an idea of his age (although with common names it's often impossible to be sure of finding the right entry) but Bridget's death is too late.
If they were married before 1911 then that census (latest available) will be useful, otherwise your best chance of further details are probably sources such as Wills, newspaper obituaries, gravestone inscriptions and knowledge of family members.

To try and put a time scale on them how old were they when they died.
If they had children when was the eldest born without naming them just a year might help not allowed name living people on here for privacy reasons.

Bridget's death is too recent to appear in online indexes.
