Louth / Re: Marriage Drogheda 1878
« on: Saturday 14 December 13 12:08 GMT (UK) »
HI everyone,
Since I received the notification about these posts, I realized that I had never written back to report my findings in Ireland. I'm so sorry that I didn't post a response.
I did find the marriage record for 1878 in the GRO, which noted that the marriage took place in the Roman Catholic chapel at Tullyallen and that my great-grandmother was from Newtownstalaban. I visited both places and also went to the Louth County Library, where I received some great help and was able to find her baptism. This gave me the names of both of her parents and her place of birth. I'm still researching, but this was a huge help to me.
I really enjoyed my visit in Ireland and was able to spend some time in County Louth. I hope to return again one day !
Thanks again for your help and my apologies for the (very) late response.
