Lindsay families of Sligo

[lmgnz]

Is anyone researching the name Lindsay in Sligo?

I am curious about Olivia Agnes Lindsay who married James Livingstone of Gortakeeran on 28 Feb 1893. Marriage registered in Dromore West (as Olive Lindsey). I was wondering if Olivia belonged to the Lindsay family of Larkhill Beltra, Ballysadare West. Robert Lindsay of Larkhill was 80 in 1901.

Would Dromore West be a bit far away to register the marriage?

I am researching the Livingston family and James' daughter Isabella Livingstone (from his first marriage) married John Lindsay of Larkhill, son of Robert. So I just want to tidy up a loose end if anyone can tell me if Olivia was perhaps John Lindsay's sister.

Cheers

Linda

Olivia was living in Larkhill at the time of the marriage, however her father was John Lindsay, a shoemaker.

Hi Gaffy,

Thank you so much. Perhaps John was the husband of Catherine who was a widow in Larkhill in 1901, though she was only 55. Still that is enough for me to tidy up the annoying loose end.

I was just filling in some details on the family of James who was my gt grandfather's brother.

Cheers

You are better off just going to http://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp and just putting in whatever Surnames you want and then look through them, and get them all from Civil Registers in one place.

Thank you Hallmark.

I was wondering what you do for an index of civil registrations south of the border. I have been concentrating on the families of my Northern Ireland paternal grandfather for the last few years and have been using the GRO (and PRONI online records) but am not familiar with what equivalents are available for the south.

I shall keep your advice in mind for when I do turn back to the extended Livingston family again for a more comprehensive look. The Davis enquiry made me look at my Livingston files again and realise my written version needed updating so I have taken time out from my other research for a quick update of my gt grandfathers siblings.

Cheers
