Hi,

Still looking for information on Martin Conway to Sarah Orford they seemed to have 9 children between 1864-1880 Martin, James, Patrick, Mary, Mary Anne, Margaret, Bridget, John and Michael.  I know Sarah had a sister called Eliza Orford who married Patrick Mitchell and also had 9 children most of whom emigrated to USA and Australia.

I can't find anything else on Martin & Sarah's marriage or deaths.

Any help appreciated.

Thnanks

Trying to figure out what parish it would be.
If I've got this correct Nurney is in Balyna Parish
http://www.balynaparish.ie/our-parish/parish-history/
RootsIreland don't have any records for this parish online, it's says Records held at Centre.
The National Libary of Ireland lists what survives on page 50
http://www.nli.ie/GetAttachment.aspx?id=da336de9-d90b-4d71-af14-8aa7de999a39
So looks like a visit to the National Libary or hope they get put online.

Re. Nurney being in the parish of Ballyna.  I think you may be confusing the Registration District of Nurney in the north of County Kildare which contains Ballyna Parish with the town of Nurney which is further south and has its own parish called Nurney.  Maybe someone else can confirm but I'll see what else I can find.

Hello again

Been looking on RootsIreland and found some probable matches.  The issue is with the mothers name which may be have been written down wrong originally or mistranscribed.  Let me know what you think of the following:

Marriage of Martin Conway and Sally Alford, Gurteen, Monasterevin, 20/04/1863.  Witnesses Joseph Conway and Sally Kinahan.

Baptisms:
1866, Mary Conway, Gurteen, (f) Martin Conway (m) Sarah Oxford
1868, Pat Conway, Gurteen (f) Martin Conway (m) Sally Orford
1870, James Conway, Gurteen (f) Martin Conway (m) Sarah Oxford
1871, Margaret Conway, Gurteen (f) Martin Conway (m) Sara Orford
1874, Bridget Conway, Curteen (f) Martin Conway (m) Sarah Oxford

Can you tell us what you already know for sure and how you know it i.e. do you have certs or documents to prove the details.  It will really help to identify the correct records and as a previous poster asked, let us know what it is you are trying to find.

All the best
