Looking for marriage between Bernard McGrath/Magragh and Ellen Magragh
« on: Tuesday 06 August 13 16:25 BST (UK) »
 Hello,

I can't find this marriage at all. They lived in Carran Beg, near Belleek, Fermanagh.

He variously turns up as McGrath/Magragh/Magrath.

On their daughter's birth certificate of 1884 the mother is listed as Ellen Magragh formerly Magragh.

According to the 1911 census they had been married 29 years which puts the marriage around 1882.

Thank you!

You've already asked for help in finding this marriage twice before-

Yes because it keeps getting merged with my old thread and then no one sees it.

No, the reason it hasn't been answered is that no one has found it. Starting a new thread only means that you are making extra work for anyone trying to help.

Have you searched in the online civil registration index (bride and groom separately then cross-reference the results)?

I tried that way using Ancestry but no luck. I will go to my local FHC and go  through their indexes in case the Ancestry ones are incomplete.

Thank you.

The index is also on www.familysearch.org which is free.
