Australia / Waverley Cemetery Photo Request
« on: Wednesday 02 October 13 12:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I was hoping someone might be able to take a photo at Waverley Cemetery if they happened to be going there for some other reason.  The information is:

Plot: 506

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask!

Thanks,

Lancashire / Can't find a trace of a marriage
« on: Friday 13 July 12 06:13 BST (UK)  »
I know that my great-great-grandmother was Kate Slyman, born in Liverpool around 1870 and of Irish descent.  I have a birth record and an 1871 census record that I'm hoping are her, but can't prove just yet.  The birth record is for a Kate Slyman born in September 1870, parents listed as James Slyman (laborer) and Anne Troy, living on Milton Street.  The census record lists James (laborer) and Johanna Sleaman, both born in Ireland, with a baby Catherine and a 3-year-old Mary, both born in Liverpool.  They are living on Johnson Street, which is just a few blocks from Milton.  As James and Johanna are listed at 24 and 22 years old and have a 3-year-old, their marriage would likely be around 1867 and likely in Liverpool.

However, I've looked everywhere I know for both civil and church records and haven't been able to find a marriage record.  I've searched all of England, I've searched Irish records, nothing.

Any ideas?

Galway / Question about Dunmore/Tuam parish records
« on: Friday 29 June 12 11:05 BST (UK)  »
I have family that lived (and continues to live) in the parish of Dunmore.  I used a certain fee-based online database that had Dunmore records from 1833 and Tuam records from 1790 and I found a birth record from 1815 in Tuam that would seem to match my family from Dunmore.

So, my question: Were Dunmore parish records separate from Tuam in 1815?  Or do you think this Tuam birth record from 1815 could still be from Dunmore?

Thanks for your help!
