Grimes family, Kilmaine. Advice please

[heywood]

Hello Nell,
it sounds as though you have searched the actual baptisms if you have sponsors too.
The names I gave were the parents as recorded.
Just out of interest, I have looked ahgain at IFHF indexes.

I haven't checked them obviously other than this:
1857 Kilmaine parish  John Grimes
1857 Kilmaine Parish Bridget Duddy

As I said earlier both for you and joe, if Sarah is your direct ancestor, then her father's name would be on her marriage certificate and then at least you are on safer ground to check.

I know from my own family research that ages/ registration times are not always very accurate.

Someone may be able to find the marriage.

Hi,

Sarah Grimes immigrated to the U.S. and married Thomas O'Day. Their oldest child was born 1898. She died in Brooklyn Jan 1933.

Bridget was married to a Walsh first name unknown. Died Dec 1933. Death cert gives parents as John Grimes and Bridget Duddy. Cert said she was a widow and no spouse name on cert. i found her in cemetery and is burried with Sarah and no other Walsh. Perhaps she immigrated to states as a widow.

Informant was a sister named Anna Gibbons.  Anna died May 1953 in Jersey and was remarried to Fitzmaurice. No first names on spouses and haven't got death cert yet. She died in Jersey but originally lived in Brooklyn.  Unsure of where she is burried. 

 when i found Briget's death cert and saw the informant was Anna, i found an old prayer card in some stuff from Anna Gibbons Fitzmourice funeral but surviving relatives no nothing of her.

This is all the info I have.
Thanks

Hi heywood,

Its been a while. I finally have a copy of Anna Gibbons marraige cert to Edward Fitzmaurice.  The certificate actually gives some detail as to where in Ireland Anna was born.  I can't make out the handwriting all that well but it does seem to be spellled Killanane, Ireland.  The place of birth for Edward seems to be Bellinane??? can you help on these locations??

Thanks

Can you post the section with the place names here so we can try to help? (small portion of certificate allowed for deciphering purposes)

Here is a copy of the place names from the marriage cert thanks
