Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Name on emigration document
« on: Thursday 05 April 18 19:35 BST (UK)  »
Thanks,

I have seen these and managed to trace quite a bit of the Thompson side of my tree both in Ireland and the US but have had less luck with the Carney/Kearney side. Knowing Joseph’s father was probably John should hopefully give me some clues.

Thanks for the replies. John had been my initial guess but I had some doubts as the name John appears elsewhere and differs from this one. Would the whole page be written by the same person?
I’ve attached another section of the page for comparison.

Hi

I can't work out the first name that passenger Joseph Carney gave as his nearest relative. I believe it is his father ???? Carney, Longford Ire.
Taken from ship manifest arriving at New York in 1909.

Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Surname and address help

Thanks everyone,
That address looks so obvious now, especially when the county is read as columbia(thanks ShaunJ).

The surname I think must begin with G as yes the address above is Garfield Pl. and the letters look the same. So it does look like a surname beginning Gurt...  and most likely Gurtin.

Thanks again everyone. Time for me to start searching for Margaret Gurtin.

I have found a US draft registration record for my ancestor Bernard Wren. I am having trouble with the details of his nearest relative listed on the card. It's Margaret ???? and the address I can make out Washington but can't work out whereabouts in the US this Washington is.
I'm hoping the Margaret is his sister and with her surname I can unlock some more detail about their family. Thanks.

Ireland / Re: Pre 1903 Marriage Certificate
« on: Tuesday 28 April 15 11:29 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Dathai

Yes the records you link to are part of my tree. Alexander Gore married Margaret Murphy(haven't found date yet), both were from Dublin. They had four children; William, James, Mary & Margaret, all born in Louth. I don't know much more about Margaret Murphy apart from that she died in 1917. With such a common name I doubt I'll find any further back on her side.
As for Alexander Gore I know he died in 1903, I haven't found much more about him yet but I am hopeful as the name is less common.
The William Gore death you link to is I reckon the one from my tree. Could be a coincidence but everything matches and he doesn't appear on any other Irish records.

Thanks for the info.
Darren

Hello again,

In case anyone else is interested, there was no problem and I received an email with the details I needed. For the record Joseph Geraghty married Mary Gore on 10th of Feb 1893 in Darver Co Louth. Joseph's father is listed as John Geraghty and Mary's father was Alexander Gore.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I thought it should be available but the GRO website is a little vague, maybe it's just online applications that are post 1903. I didn't know about the research certificates so thanks, you've saved me some money.

I have all the details for volume and page number so I'll download the form and post it off and let everyone know the outcome.

Thanks again.
Darren.

Ireland / Pre 1903 Marriage Certificate
« on: Monday 23 March 15 13:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm trying to find the names of my great grandfathers parents. His name is Joseph Geraghty born about 1867 in Louth. He married Mary Gore in 1893 but have not been able to find the church record of the marriage online. I have however found their names in the civil index so I though I would order the certificate online to see if it confirms who his father is.
I went onto the GRO website but it states that Marriage certificates are only available from 1903 onwards. I thought certificates would be available from 1864 onwards. Do these certificates still exist? If they do exist are they obtainable?

Thanks.
Darren.
