Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Parish in County Tyrone, can't decipher

Thank you Elwin, for clarifying that for me. Very interesting! If they were married in the Catholic Church, but needed a certificate from the Presbyterian Church, would that imply then that one of the couple was Presbyterian?

Thank you for the thoughts. I will look into Clonfeacle and see what I can find.

It is possible that the other line says Session Clerk, but I think it may be Secession because of the connection to the Secession Chapel I have seen in other documents, and the reference to Sarah needing a certificate from that Chapel. Any idea to what they would be referring if it did say session clerk?

Found this marriage register in Scotland, but I can't attach the name of Sarah Donnelly's home parish in County Tyrone to a real place. Can anyone figure this out? The rest of the document reads: "This 18th Day of February 1822 I married according to the rites of the Catholic Church Richard Paton Weaver Glasgow but born in the County of Donnegal parish of Stranolan (Stranolar) Ireland to Sarah Donnelly now residing in Glasgow but originally from the County of Tyronne (Tyrone) parish of _____ Ireland. The above parties were regularly proclaimed in the Catholic (struck through) established Church and produced a certificate from the Secession Clerk stating that no objection had been made to their intended marriage. They were also regularly proclaimed in this Chapel. Witnesses were Michael Collins and Agnes Clerk. --John Murdoch

I did initially find it very frustrating as well. But having made a few mistakes myself over the years, I try not to overreact. I work very hard to verify at least 3 ways before I put up any information, and then when I find someone who has made a mistake I shoot them a message offering the correct info. Most often it is just an inconsequential addition to their main branch, I find, so they didn't work very hard at it.
The most frustrating one to me is a person who gave information to the Liverpoole Museum about an uncle of mine who was on the Lusitania when it was torpedoed. They listed his mother as someone completely different than it should be. I have contacted the museum but have yet to hear back or see a correction.

Can't wait to see what you found! I'm away part of the day on a field trip, but I will check back as soon as I can!

I just learned that my Great Great Grandfather, who owned that plot, is also buried there. He died 14 June 1891.

Thanks again!

Lanarkshire / Looking for a photo of the grave of Ellen Bohan (nee Grant)

Hello;
I am searching for a photo of the grave of my Great Great Grandmother, Ellen Bohan. Wife of James Bohan. She died in Pollocshields, Glasgow, on 2 July 1909.
Buried at St. Peter's Dalbeth Cemetery, Lair 963, Section 9, Division C, according to the record I found. There is also a number 2342 under "relation to owner" but I do not know to what that refers.
As I live in Canada, it could be quite some time before I am able to get there! I would really appreciate the help!
