I have James Lynas b.1869  of 4 Mary St Portadown who enlisted in RIF around 1896 but was discharged for a wrongful attestment.  Father David, mother Elizabeth.  Looking for a marriage record to solidify his next step in timeline and found him marrying to Margaret Grimason in  Jan 1897 Belfast but his attestment is dated is April 1897 and lists his father, mother sisters and brothers as his family. The family in the attestment is correct and I have located his brothers attestments also. My issue is there any way to locate another James Lynas marriage after 1897 -father David without opening umpteen  Irish registry records which there quite a few to search through. Can anyone help me locate this record. I am really stumped here.
Kind regards,
Jan

Hello, I am a bit confused as to the birth record of a relative whom on a passenger list says he is born in Belfast Co. and a birth record in Ireland that show Killmallock, Ireland in 1920. His Social Security record shows that he is born in Scotland. Can someone verify his birth status for me as I cannot rely on the internet for an answer.

Cavan / Derry, Cavan...is there such a parish within Cavan?
« on: Tuesday 18 August 15 19:48 BST (UK)  »
I have a birth date in 1817 for a Hannah McConkey and the tree owner who shares this relative says that she was born in Derry, Cavan. I am nor sure that such a listing exists or whether it is a name for Parish with Cavan. Her parents were William McConkey and Mary Murphy. Is there anyone that could help with Parish names in the area that I may contact?

Armagh / Is there a 1901 Census for inmates of the Lurgan Workhouse?
« on: Sunday 21 June 15 17:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I have a death certificate for my great grandfather David Lyness (Lynas) who died in the Lurgan Workhouse at 71 years old from Senile Dementia. The record shows he was married at the time but I cannot find a 1901 census for him anywhere. His death was in May 1907. Was there a census done for the inmates of the workhouse if they were patients there. This leaves me to find his wife Elizabeth in any number of 1901 censuses but not sure which one she is. Their children would long be married with families of their own.

Armagh / Birth record in Lurgan without the mother's name
« on: Wednesday 15 April 15 16:22 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I have written the archives in regards to searching for a Jane/Jean Gorman  abt 1875-1878 born Lurgan to William Gorman (he is listed as a tailor on his marriage Apr 2, 1877 and 1901 census 55 Lindsay St, Antrim) but I cannot find her birth record. She is the eldest child in the family but I am wondering now if her mother is another person and that William remarried to Elizabeth McGuinnis who was a minor at the time of her marriage and therefore is the reason why I cannot locate her birth record. I understand it is the birth mother who appears on the record. The only positive link I have is her father's name and his occupation to go by. How can I search for her birth possibly by her father's name only? Do I have any other options to consider?

Kindly,
Jmama

I have obtained her death record and burial record in Belfast City Cemetery. Her death record states she was born in 1874 at the time of her death but we all know that it could be an estimated guess by her husband Robert Lynas in 1931(year of her death).

My uncle was a Trooper and was killed as his ship was torpedoed arriving in Singapore. My father was in the Air Force but while not in uniform that I recognize all the time I cannot tell who is who in this picture. Can you identify what type of dress they are wearing in this pic as my uncle and my father look so much alike.

I am in need of the father's names of Caroline and her husband Benjamin Shakespeare before I can continue this lineage. There are at least 6 Benjamin Shakespeares in the Staffordshire region. The info on their marriage was taken from their marriage index in Oct 1895, West Ham Essex.

Kind regards,
Jmama
