Ah now, I thought you meant that Anne was on the ship record which would help the evidence.

You can look on a map for Enniskerry - about 15 miles south of Dublin but quite a way from Galway.

The writing on the right just says 'Witn' for witnesses.

Do be cautious - it might not be your family.

There is no baby Anne on the ship's list here.

You are right , just maybe Thomas was a farm hand and they met in Dublin  I think  Margaret came from Dublin  but I will go through my bits of paper that I have collected  and see if I can find more information  l realy appreciate what you are doing and i guess fact need to be proven  but I will keep trying  cheers  :) :) :)

On records shown on Another site, Margaret is shown as from Galway   :-\

Best to check through your records.

Hi had a computer glich wrote a letter and lost it so here we go again.I found the letter sent to me from Roma Holman. 14-2-1996 yep this is how long I have been at this ( in those days I wrote lots of letters )  Roma was the granddaughter of Julia 3RD  child of Thomas. When they were in Ireland they looked for Thomas and Margaret birth certificate
But they realized that a lot were distroyed in1916     distroyed  1820-1860 papers in Dublin
Roma did not know which Parish  Church in Galway and in those days the Churches did not release  any records. Also she thought that their daughter Ann was born on the ship
I have Anns was married  on the 4th  Feb 1877 to Hugo  Delacy . Thomas and Margaret are buried  in Adelaide  west  terrace in tbe Catholic  section
Thomas died 30th 1890 Margaret 1834.well that all I have again thank you for your time and effort Cheers Gail :) :) :) :)

There would be no birth certificate- too early. You would be looking at Parish records.
I have given links to what I think might be the parish but the records there are too late!
Do you have a year of birth for Ann?

Hi only what  we thought of,   if she was born on the ship there is no record and if the Ann you found . But how did she get to Adelaide  With the Ann you found did she Pass away in Ireland  ?  These are only guess  . With the records how can we find out about the witness  were they brother  or sisters. How did you know Margaret was from Galway I did not know that  so I still have  learnt something   How do you do this sorting through everything  it is amazing.  Cheers :Gail :) :) :) :) :)

I think we had better forget the Enniskerry record  :( for now anyway.

Griffiths Valuation shows both Geoghegan and Toole families in Enniskerry area

Sorry about that. I was encouraged by the birth of Ann.
