Ireland / looking for marriage record for William Meechan and Eliza Dowey
« on: Monday 26 June 17 00:53 BST (UK) »
They were both from Ireland and moved to Greenock Scotland so may have been married in either country. I have info showing that they had a son Joseph born abt 1889 in England and a son, William born abt 1880 in Greenock Scotland. Don't know if they had more children but based on this, the marriage may have been pre 1880. Thank you for any help.

Renfrewshire / William Meechan 1901 Census

For William Meechan is states Feeble-minded. This has an 'X' though it. Does that mean I should discount it? What exactly do they mean by describing him as feeble-minded? Thank you.

This is a 1907 Scottish marriage record.
Can you make out the small lettering above the grooms name and then above the bride's name on the first column? Also the following:
The maiden name of Eliza Mechan.
The profession of John MacAllister.
John McAllister's wife's name and her maiden name.
Many thanks.

Louth / Margaret Byrne
« on: Wednesday 07 June 17 00:24 BST (UK) »
My 2nd g-grandmother was believed to have been born in Drogheda approx 1846, although I can find no record that states Drogheda. I do have her marriage record to Patrick Smith in 1867 in Dundalk. On the wedding cert, the residence at time of marriage is shown as Dundalk.
I'd like to know if Drogheda is part of Dundalk or visa versa? TIA

Mayo / Earlier birth/basptism records Achill & Burrishoole
« on: Sunday 28 May 17 22:03 BST (UK) »
It appears that the earliest Roman Catholic Parish Records for baptisms are 1867 and 1872.
The civil records for births begin in 1864.
What can I do to find birth/baptism records prior to this? TIA
