Ireland / Darby Craig

« on: Tuesday 28 September 10 09:32 BST (UK) »

Hi there,
I am asking for anyones help who is conversant with irish genealogy. I have searched for this for years and have always drawn a blank so i am asking to see if anyone can help me.

My Great Great Grandparents were called DARBY CRAIG and MARY CASSIDY I have their marriage certificate and it shows DARBY was aged 24 and and MARY was aged 23 that was in 1870 in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Their respective fathers names were DARBY CRAIG (deceased) occupation a Cooper and AMBROSE CASSIDY (deceased) occupation a Farmer.
I then have a birth certificate for their first child in 1873 but their surnames at this time are recorded as CRAGG
In the 1871 Census their surname is recorded as CREGG.
From the 1881 Census DARBY goes missing and there is no other trace of him.
I have tried to search any irish records I can find but there is nothing. Has anyone out there got any suggestions for me.
Thank you

The Common Room / divorce records

« on: Friday 24 September 10 09:29 BST (UK) »

hi there, wondered if anyone knows of a way of looking up divorce records for free. I have searched for my gt gt grandfather for a long time found his wife and children but he appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth so now think that he could have divorced her but dont know where or how to check that.
His name was Darby Craig and he was married to a Mary Cassidy they married in 1870 but by the 1881 census he had disappeared.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wondered if anyone out there would be kind enough to look on the new york passenger lists for me between 1905 and 1908 i am having great difficulty in finding the maiden name of ivy v east who was born c1891 in england i thought that she had come over with her husband but she hadnt she married him over there and lived in connecticut, so i am looking that they went to the connecticut areas. i have narrowed it down to about 8 names, so if anyone has the time i would be most grateful.
IVY BUTLER
IVY FENTON (LAGUARDIA AIRPORT)
IVY HARGREA RVES
IVY NAYLOR
IVY REYNOLDS
IVY ROGERS
IVY SMITH
IVY HAVILL
i think she might have come from bradford in west yorkshire but am not 100% on that either so if any of them went to connecticut could you record the details for me.

« on: Friday 31 July 09 08:40 BST (UK) »

wondered if anyone out there could help me my paternal surname is ARNOLD h owever i was adopted my mother's second husband so had nothing to do with any ARNOLDS at all until last year when i found out that i had 2 half sisters but that my biological father had died in the 1970's. since finding them i have been trying to trace the arnold family tree which all seems to come from somerset, castle cary, alford and lovington i think. i found a STEPHEN ARNOLD born c1791 in alford, somerset his wife was called MARTHA FRANCIS. i think his father was PHILIP ARNOLD born c1766 in lovington, somerset. i have tried lds but have found nothing. i would love to get back further but live in north yorkshire so cant easily pop to somerset, does anyone know if there are any records on line that could take me further back.
