Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Manchester Library Marriage Request
« on: Tuesday 27 February 24 11:00 GMT (UK)  »
As the marriage is shown as Manchester Register etc, it wouldn't have taken place in Altrincham. As mentioned earlier, the only solution is to order the Certificate, sadly.

heywood; I  remember finding that some years back and seem to have forgotten about it. I don't think it ever helped me though. Always say you never know, though.

There are some transcriptions on their Site, but I think they are in the "Member's Section". I don't think they are accessible to non-members.

But, as always, someone may know different.

Thanks Gaffy. Thought I'd looked in that lot. However, you all seem to have cracked it. J F did die in 1864 in Glasgow and in 1861 was in Tradestown area.

All the bits fit together; his death, job, wife and the Baptisms. Easy when you know where to look. And, we all now know where Tuam is in Donegal.

Many thanks to all of you. Regards, Eric.

Very interesting Gaffy.

As I said I need to speak with my cousin, but he did die about that time, as far as I know, he did live in Glasgow in 1861. In the late 1840's/50's he was a Tidewaiter, so things seem to be fitting together.

Can I ask where this Military Record can be found. I found some, but not this one.

Thanks again, Eric.

Finlays do seem a bit thin on the ground in the area.

As for religion, I'm not sure, but I don't think any were Catholic at any time.

As I said earlier, I need to have a good chat with my cousin to find out where he got his info from. The William baptism with Sarah Hunter as the Mother looks very promising, although the Father as a Policeman is news. But, if he was a Corporal in the Army, then maybe going on to be a Policeman may not be too much of a stretch.

Thanks, Eric.

Gaffy...that's very interesting. This Jas Finlay was supposed to have married a Sarah Hunter, but Margretta or even Margaret doesn't appear on the Censuses in Scotland, but she may have died young. There is a gap of about 5 years in the children at that time.

I need to have another good sit down with my cousin and try to find out where he's got his info from.

Interesting though. Thanks, Eric.

Many thanks to you all for solving the mystery of Tuam, but, of course, it's of no value if my Jas Finlay wasn't from there.

The hard bit now will be establishing where the Finlays were from. There were 6 children all born Donegal and I'm hoping if I can find them on Censuses through the years that one of them will have put a town instead of just Donegal. Easier said than done. I've done 3 with no success.

Are any Parish Records for the area available? The last 2 were born 1833/37.

Thanks again, Eric

Thanks LH. Something else to look into.

Do you know if the Tuam that's mentioned would be a small settlement, especially in the early 1800's?
