Mary Ford and Michael Judge

[happyland]

Hello.. I seem to have come to a dead end with my family search and was wondering if anybody could offer help or advice?

My ancestral grandparents came to Scotland around about 1848; I've managed to trace their life here no problem, but I'm struggling with the Irish side of things.

Mary Ford married Michael Judge in 1846 in Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim. They had 2 children there (Ann and Catherine) before coming to Scotland.

I can't find their parents names, nor the birth of their children. I realise that this was at the height of the Great Famine but any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0171 and http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0836 would be starting points...

http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632439#page/1/mode/1up does cover the years within range.

Thanks for that! My planned day of housework may have to be postponed!
