Title: Joseph Neely
Post by: daisy3 on Saturday 20 November 10 16:22 GMT (UK)
I am trying to find information on my Gr Gr Grandfather Joseph Neely. The only information i have is that he had a son Joseph who was born circa 1838,born County Londonderry, married Elizabeth Wright in 1862. He was married in the First Presbyterian church Londonderry, his occupation was cabinet/coffin maker Can you advise how to get back to the previous generation.

Joseph Neely's marriage to Elizabeth Wright is recorded in Vol 7 p 275 of the 1862 Londonderry marriage records. You can get a copy from the local register office, GRO in Belfast or GRO in Roscommon. Personally I use GRO Roscommon. www.groireland.ie/  Order a photocopy, and it should cost €4. Takes about 10 to 14 days. The marriage cert will give you the father's names, their addresses and this should help you get back a further generation.

Thank you Andrew for your contact, unfortunately I don't have much further information, the Neely family is so large that I put it on hold for a while and followed another branch of the family. I am descended from Jane, Joseph and Elizabeth's daughter, how are you related ?. I would be glad to swap any info that we might have.

Regards Daisy

Apologies Andrew for not being in touch sooner, I'm not sure how much information you have managed to gather, I have only got back to Joseph the confectioner. However I can give you Joseph and Elizabeth Wright's children etc. If you pm me, I can possibly give you some new leads, I believe you have to make three posts in order to make a private message. Look forward to hearing from you.
