Another one that someone might be able to help me with please!
These are John Connell's parents.Can't find their marriage anywhere .Have searched on Roots Ireland.At least 4 of the children where born in kingstown.John,Ellen,Edward Peter and Mary Ellen.
As far as the family knows they are from there.Can't find them on any census' either .
They are the most elusive bunch
Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.

Thanks
Annette

Good after noon Rootschatters
After taking a few months off from the old family tree I am picking it up again!
BUT, I have hit a brick wall where my gr gr grandmother came from.
Her marriage was not on SP and I had to wait till the catholic parish registers became available and finally got the date of marriage of 15/07/1864 at St Patrick's Anderson!
She was Margaret Harvie/Harvey and she married John Doherty from Donegal and they settled back there when married.
Unfortunately there is no mention of a father's name on the catholic register only the witnesses so I can't get any further back with censuses etc
According to my mum,gran was adamant that she was from Campsie,but unfortunately she is no longer with us so I can't ask her any more questions.
I thought that maybe there might be banns or the like in a Glasgow newspaper maybe
Maybe some more experienced RChatters might give me some ideas or is this as far as I will get?
They must have moved back to Donegal fairly quick to not have registered the marriage with the registrar.

Good morning!
I have managed to get my brother in law's uncle's death on the CWCG website.
I am now trying to find him on the National Archives website but don't seem to be able to navigate it at all
I would be grateful if some kind R Chatter who is used to the site will be able to give me a link to the ref no for the documents relating to him.
His details are
John Lydon ,private, Connaught Rangers 1st Battalion.
Service no,9251
Died 23/11/1914

Was from Boliska,Spiddal Co Galway.
Son of Mary and Pat Lydon.

Any help or advice appreciated

Hello and Merry Christmas all!

As stated above I am finding it very hard to trace the above person!
Sarah is my husband's granny and I can't seem to get anywhere with her
On the 1911   census in Dublin she is married to John Connell with 2 children and living in DunLaoghaire and is aged 26.Married 6 years by 1911.
Can't find her on the 1901 census,the nearest is a Sarah aged 11 in Cavan
None of the family know her parents names or anything else about her.
I have been onto roots ireland and family search and cant even find her marriage,birth,anything.
I have researched my husband's  father's side with no bother using these sites and the GRO so what am I doing wrong here?

Any help or suggestions would be welcome

Good morning all
I would like some advice please.I have my gr gr grandad James Bradley on the 1901 census living in Cullinean,Redcastle(where my family are from) with his daughter Mary.He was a widow and Mary was single.
I tried to find him  and Mary on the 1911 census but no joy!He didn't die until 1912 so I knew he was still alive.
So I just searched for any James Bradley of his age and up popped one but in a different area!
I have found a James Bradley and Mary,daughter but they are over at Greenfort near Portsalon.
Everything fits,he even has down that he had 9 children and also ages basically match.
If this is him what was he doing over there
He died in Cullinean and all his descendants are still there.My mum is trying to contact the cousin in Redcastle to see does he have any info on this.
Basically what I would like to know do people think that these are the same Bradleys?
I know he might have had the offer of land to farm there or something similar.Anyway any input would be greatly appreciated
Annette
