« on: Thursday 26 April 18 17:10 BST (UK) »
Hi im trying to find Hugh Sweeny B1919. I know he was married with 2 sons Hugh jnr and Patrick, before moving to Wolverhamton. His death is 1979 Wolverhamton. Not much to go on i'm afraid but any information would help.

Thanks Nettex.

His birth is too late for online births certs although he may be on the index on FamilySearch, did he marry in Ireland?

If I read your post correctly I'd know he did marry in Ireland, his marriage cert might be online if it was on or before 1941, cutting it a bit fine though age wise.

Assuming you know who he married if it was on or before 1941 you can search here for the marriage cert
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
It's free but you will have to do the Captcha and fill in you name (it isn't kept) and tick the little box.
Marriages usually take place in the brides parish.
You can see the registration districts for Galway here

but they may not have married in Galway.

That gives you a choice of four, well three one died but which one!
Two Dunfanaghy reg district one of these died
and two Glenties reg district.
On FamilySearch ( I searched 1919 to 1922)
I guess we could try and find marriages and maybe deaths or headstones, the problem is the timing it's right at that period where there are no records due to data protection.
