Hi all
I am looking for Thomas McAree's marriage to Ellen McQuade.
I assume they married in Belfast, and were Catholic.
Children born during 1920s and 30s so I assume the marriage was around 1920. I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Family thinks that Thomas was born in Salford, England and that Ellen was born in India, but without father's names from marriage cert, I'm finding this process difficult.
The family home was in Cavendish Street belfast, and the children were:
Joseph, Thomas, Patrick, Sarah, Hugh and John. John was born XXXX and is my husband's grandfather.
I appreciate any advice you can give me on the family, and also how to access birth details for India.
Thanks
Karen

Just to confirm that all the children listed have passed on. Thanks

Thanks for confirming that all the children listed are deceased but birthdate listed was fairly recent which was another reason it was removed.
Have you tried searching for marriage in index to civil registrations yet? Registrations for Northern Ireland counties go up to 1921 but it would be worth checking there if you haven't done so already.

I did a very quick search for 'thomas m'aree' but nothing showed up but perhaps you'll have better luck.
Also tried Emerald Ancestors (think from memory their marriages go up to 1927?) but again no result.

Hi Aghadowey
Yes i have checked the family search site, emerald, uhf - all the usual suspects, and am currently trying different variations on names. I have found possibilities for Ellen McQuade on the 1911 census but as I've no idea of her family or age, I'll have to be persistent in trying to find the marriage.
Thanks

Going off at a tangent, but still sometimes worth checking, Scotlandspeople seem to have a Thomas McAree marriage in 1899. They also seem to have a Thomas McAree born in 1901.
Not an overly common surname it seems so you never know.
-
Or.......
Free BMD have a
Thomas McAree born 1900 Salford
Vol 8d Page 97
which sounds even more promising.
And also to assist you:
http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/
And:
BRSGenealogy Antrim have an Ellen McQuoid marriage for 1918 Antrim.....can't see a corresponding Thomas McAree, but as you will have realised...his name could have been transcribed differently.

Hi
Thanks for the info. I think that the thomas mcaree on free bmd sounds good. Where would I be able to order that cert? Sorry, I haven't had any dealings with English genealogy, so I'm not sure where to get it. Thanks also for the India link- I couldn't find her on it, but there are a few births for Ellen McQuade with various spellings in belfast. I'll have to check that one out a bit more.
As for the marriage. No luck yet but I'll keep searching.

...I think I have ordered via http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ in the past.

Hi
I got the certificate but have no way of knowing if this is my Thomas McAree, although it does appear to be the only one. He was born 23/05/1900 in salford. His mother was Sarah McCann, and his father Hugh McAree. I've looked up their marriage and it was in Belfast on 14/02/1887. Sarah's father was John McCann, a tailor and Hugh's father was also Hugh McAree, a fluting master.
I'm hoping to confirm this is my Thomas by working back through birth certificates. Can anyone tell me where to get the details from a birth certificate dated 1931? I looked at GRO's site but it says to order the cert you need this info:
* Full name of person whose birth certificate is required.
* Date and place of birth (district or street and town).
* Names of parents (including mother's maiden name.)
* Mother's address at time of birth.
I know John McAree's date of birth, but not any other info such as mother's maiden name, place of birth etc. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

Ulster Historical Foundation don't have John's birth, but they do look to have births of children of what looks like the elder Hugh, if that helps.
Re all details needed, have you tried phoning GRONI and just trying to order with what details you do know....from memory I think I have got certificates from them before without full details know in advance.

-
Leanne thank you any info would be great. I'm in contact with other McAree families in Belfast around the same time. Your family will likely link into one of our McAree families. We've yet to find the elusive link between them but am certain there is one. I will pm you my email.

I see that this is quite an old thread but I'm hoping the people commenting on it are still active on this site.
I have McAree in my ancestry too. My great grandfather Richard McAree was born in Monaghan in 1875. He married Brigid (Her maiden name I am yet to find out) in 1900 and she was born in County Down in 1883. They lived in Monaghan for a few years together, having 6 children in the early stages of marriage, two which died (I don't know their names) Their children's names who I do know are as follows,
Margaret Mary- Born 1901. Monaghan.
Richard- Born 1903. Monaghan.
Winnifred- Born 1904. Belfast.
James- Born 1907. Belfast.
They later had other children one of which was my grandmother Bridgett born in 1921 in Belfast. As you can see sometime between 1903 and 1904, the family moved to Belfast and settled in 11 Earlscourt Street Falls Road.
My grandmother Bridgett when she grew up married a man whose family had also been from Monaghan, John Sullivan. (I'm also researching my great grandparents from his side of the family - James Joseph Sullivan and Ellen Anne M'Court.) They too settled into married life on the Falls Road, which is where my mummy grew up as a child.

Ellen McQuade was my great-aunt so I have some information on that side of the family if you still need it.
