Hi Slev, Gaffy.
My G/Grandfather was Patrick Slevin brother of James Slevin.
As far as i've been able to ascertain Patrick was the oldest ( b.1881 ). Then there was Allan (b.1883 ) , think he may have died early as cannot find any mention in census. James (b.1886) came next followed by Mary Jane (b.1888 ). The following were also siblings Thomas (b.1891 ), Joseph (b.1893), Margaret Anne (b.1894 ),Catherine (b.1896 ) & finally Francis (b.1901 ).
Parents of Patrick & James were Thomas Slevin & Mary Jane Meehan. Mary Jane Meehan died i believe before 1911 census & Thomas remarried in 1910 to Marianne ( Mary Ann) Halpin in 1910.
Patrick moved to Glasgow in 1900/1901 & up until now i assumed everyone else remained in Fermanagh.

Hi aghadowey,
Have tried searching Ellen Slevin in 1901 census, but have had no luck finding her.  Did though do a search for marriage & came across 2 possibles or 2 of same marriage at different time of year & different church. Is this possible ?
Both 1906. 1st  in May to Thomas Gilroy age 22yrs & entered as Labourer. Living in Derryadd. Father : John Gilroy ( labourer ).
Ellen is entered as living in Breakey, Lisbellaw age 22yrs & Servant. Father :Thomas Slevin ( Labourer )  Lisnaskea registrars office.
2nd in August to Thomas Gilroy  sage 22yrs & entered as Farmer. Living in Derryadd. Father : John Gilroy ( Farmer Decd )
Ellen is entered as living in Mulnadoran, No age given & occupation given as Lady. Father : Thomas Slevin ( Living )
Newtonbutler R.C. Chapel.
On checking 1901 census for Thomas, he is living with mother in Derryadd as a Agricultural labourer & Mother : Margaret age 74yrs is entered as not married.
Also in 1901 census Thomas Slevin ( Father ) was living in Mulnadoran.
On checking 1911 census Thomas & Ellen are found residing in Lisbellaw Town with 2 children.
However Thomas is aged 37 yrs & Ellen26 yrs, both been married 5 yrs. ( age could be an error ? )
Other coincidence 1st child named Maggie Jane ( 3yrs )..possibly after both grandmothers. 2nd child Cathleen ( 2mths ).
Is it possible both marriages are of the same ppl & what is the probability that Ellen is the Ellen i am looking for. Not sure how else to be certain this is her ? Any ideas or thoughts ?

Where did you get the 2 marriage records from? The actual certificates, church records or transcriptions?

Hi aghadowey,
transcriptions.

[aghadowey]

GRONI show the marriage in their index as 16 May 1906- Thomas Gilroy & Ellen Slavin

What of the August marriage ? There is a lot of similarities between both with the exception of witnesses & place of marriage.
