The Common Room / BMD Certificates
« on: Tuesday 27 August 19 10:18 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,
I have bought a number of BMD Certificates that are most definitely of persons that are not part of my family.
I am quite willing to send them to persons who believe they are part of theirs.
Is there any way of facilitating this on this site.
There are a few UK ones and one Irish BMD.
Thank you,
Claire

Tyrone / Marriage McGONAGLE / BOYLE about 1855 - 1860
« on: Sunday 09 April 17 11:57 BST (UK)  »
Hope someone can help.
I have searched in vain on all the available websites for a marriage between my GG Grandfather William McGONAGLE and his wife Rose BOYLE. I have found numerous children born (and died and married) in the records but my GGrandfather William McGONAGLE's birth has also eluded me. I know these are my GG Grandparents as my Grandparents were first cousins and my Grandmother's mother was a McGONAGLE, whose birth, marriage and death record I have found. Also my Grandfather's eldest brother died in Strabane whilst staying with Rose McGONAGLE (née BOYLE).
There is no marriage recorded in Strabane, Co. Tyrone where they lived and died.
I have searched in Scotland; in England; and even as far a field as America, Canada
, Australia and New Zealand. Nothing.
Any ideas as to where to look or should I just decide to give it a rest?
Thanks,
Claire

Dublin / Re: Annie BYRNE and Esther BYRNE
« on: Monday 21 October 13 15:34 BST (UK)  »
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me.

My husband's grandmother was Annie BYRNE who died as Annie DEMPSEY 21 July 1948 in St. Vincent's Hospital, Dublin - supposedly aged 55 making her birthyear about 1893.

She had married Robert George DEMPSEY on 27 may 1917 in the Church of St. Michael and St. John, Merchant Quay, Dublin. He was a serving soldier in the Royal Irish Rifles and the Machine Gun Corps and left the British Army in 1919. He then worked as intermittently for Guinness.

On their marriage certificate her father is recorded as John BYRNE - a carman (presumably with Guinness' as well.

She had a sister called Esther (aka Essie) BYRNE who married a Michael O'Brien in 1935. He died young in 1941. Esther O'BRIEN died in september 1994 - aged 92.

Their mother was reputedly Mary ?, who re-married a Christy/Christopher HAND after her husband John BYRNE died.
There may have been a brother Johnny BYRNE, who died aged 19 during the First World War.

I cannot find the family anywhere either in the 1901 or 1911 Irish Census.
There is a family rumour that the girls may have been in an orphanage in Co. Kilkenny at some point during their childhood.

If any of this sounds familiar please don't keep it to yourself! Any information would be gratefully received.

Tyrone / GORML(E)Y // McGONAGLE // BOYLE - Leckpatrick, Strabane, Co. Tyrone
« on: Saturday 07 January 12 15:46 GMT (UK)  »
My grandmother Ann (Annie b. 1903) was eldest daughter of Edward Gorml(e)y and Bridget McGonagle. I know nothing about this Edward Gormley, other than when Bridget died in 1913 in childbirth, the family lived in Artigarvan, Co. Tyrone. They had 5 children: Annie; Rosabella (1904); Jeannie (1905); James (1911) and William (1913). Edward married Bridget in April 1903 and his father was James GORMLEY - farmer
I am in the possession of a very old King James Bible with the following inscription: "A preasant from my sister Mary Ann Gormly. Got it the 24th july 1861. James Gormly".
I think I may have found James and MaryAnn GORMLY living with their parents John and Susan GORMLY in the 1851 and 1861 Scotland Census in Boness, Linlithgowshire (West Lothian)
Does anyone have any ideas about these GORML(E)Ys?

My grandfather Joseph McGONAGLE (Joseph Patrick b. 1894) was born in Drumcondra, Dublin.
His father William and my grandmother Ann's mother Bridget were brother and sister and from the townland of Leckpatrick in Strabane. Their father William and their mother Rose BOYLE were also from the townland of Leckpatrick, Strabane.
Has anyone else come across these McGONAGLES or BOYLES for that matter?
