Information request (please) on the marriage of James Shaw McCrindle and Mary Elizabeth Johnson, I'm told in Ayrshire, Scotland. The only child I can see that they have is a daughter Ellen, born in Ireland in 1908, but I'm unsure if they had children prior to this. They lived in Ireland by then and was employed there. James died aged 38 in 1909, and I think the family returned to Scotland (have nothing definite on this) Thanks in advance.

Seeking information on the date/place of marriage of Mary Josephine McKenna (born 1879) from Co Monaghan, a widow, who married a Toal man, and they were living in Belfast. I don't have dates for the marriage, nor the first name of the groom. Mary's maiden name was Conlon, and sometime after the death of her first husband in 1912 she left Monaghan. She had one son Francis McKenna, she herself was born in Monaghan, and her father's name was Patrick Conlon, a farmer. By the time of her only son's death in Co Down in 1953 she was described as Mrs Mary J Toal.....sorry the information is vague, I have fairly good information on her previous family line. Thanks in advance.

I don't have much information to go on... but seeking information on the marriage of Patrick Sherlock and Lynch who settled in Newcastle upon Tyne. Patrick was from Tydavnet, Co Monaghan, (Ireland) and was born in 1864. Lynch was from Ballybay, Co Monaghan, (Ireland). I don't know where they were married, but I have failed to find their records on the Irish Genealogy website. Any help appreciated, to fill in a few blanks in the hedge...Thank you.

Information request on William Greene, originally from Fermanagh, an RIC Policeman, who spent much of his life in Clifden, Galway. He married Bridget Connolly from Feebaghduff, Scotstown, Co Monaghan and they had seven children. There’s a marriage record for a William Green and Bridget Connolly in St Mary’s, Fivemiletown, Co Tyrone on September 1, 1887. He’s a sergeant in the RIC living in Omagh at the time. His father Patrick is deceased. Bridget is a school teacher whose father, also named Patrick, is deceased as well. The marriage record gives the bride and groom’s place of residence at the time of marriage, not where they were born, and the entry for Bridget says Portaferry, County Down, William was listed as residing in Omagh.
One of their sons, Thomas Greene, came as a child to live near Tydavnet, Co Monaghan, with his aunt Ellen (Connolly) who was married to Thomas Loughran, originally from Meath, also a Policeman.
Family lore suggests that even though they did not speak Gaelic, that William’s son used to say that the Greene name came from something that sounded like “McHoutna”, sorry about the spelling, but that’s the way it sounded to young children growing up. William Greene ended his days in Dublin, he was buried in Glasnevin cemetery with his wife Bridget, son Michael Joseph and daughter Mary Bridget. Sorry, there is no more specific information, other than County Fermanagh – but leads on areas or townlands or any remaining relatives in the area would be appreciated, or anything else that may help in the search.
