Dear all,
This is my first Mayo post!
My Ancestor Winifred Macnamara from Longford, Mayo near Crossmolina married Patrick Kane/Cain from Newport Mayo in Liverpool in 1852. He was a forty year old widower (his age varied wildly over the years) and she was a nineteen year old widow. Her first husband had had the surname Lavell. Both Winifred and Patrick's fathers were called James. They later moved to Sunderland. I think Patrick also had a sister called Honor or Nora.
Could anyone tell me which churches might have records on them (unlikely, I know). I am particularly keen to find out about the Lavell connection. They were already in England by the time of the Griffith Valuation.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks,
Clarrie
