I have made progress regs James Joseph, he became a teacher in the Boys National school in Neale Co Mayo between 1898-1936, he later died at his sister's residence in Blackrock Dublin in 1937, he remained single and is buried in the Cemetery at Neale where by all accounts he was fondly remembered by his past pupils.

Roscommon / Constable Ferris, Boyle.

Hi, Im looking for any relevant information on Constable Thomas Ferris who married Eleanor Sheeran in Boyle on 8th April 1865.
On the marriage cert it states that Thomas is a 'Constable' and his father Thomas is a Farmer, it gives Eleanor's father is also named Thomas but no occupation given.
I have seen entries of children born to the couple,
Maria Honora, dob 1867
James Joseph, dob 1871
Mary Ellen,     dob 1879.
Fanny/Frances dob 1883.

Father Thomas has 'Clogher' listed as place of residency on the earlier birth entries 1867-1871, (possibly where he was barracked at the time?)
By the time Mary Ellen was born in 1879 he was listed as 'Pensioner RIC.

Thomas died in Boyle in 1887 aged 60,
His wife Ellen and daughter Mary Ellen are listed on the 1901 census at Gorthmeadow.
I cannot find any trace of James Joseph (dob 1871)

I have information on Fanny/Frances marriage in 1921 in Blackrock Co Dublin, so im not concerned as to that link along with her census entries 1901-1911, (employed by Post-Office)

I would be very interested and thankful in any Info regs Thomas R.I.C. Service along with what became of James Joseph, death details, etc.
Thanking you.

@Grizzly1 Are you sure they were married in Ireland? Sometimes people married abroad - as near as Holyhead, but also in Scotland or England.
That possibility did cross my mind, hopefully, my visit to the GRO will turn up a marriage cert.

Have just ordered a copy of Patrick's Birth cert, and I can work from there, will also again pay a visit to GRO on its opening day in order to source the Marriage cert for the couple.
Thank you again for your input.

Hi Shanreagh, thank you for your reply.
I have scoured the locality on 1901-1911 census for any links through Christian names with both Surnames, but basically came up blank, I was informed by my friend (whom I'm carrying out this search for) that he believes that Patrick's father John/Jack was also employed by Guinness's as a 'cooper', so that may help in dismissing the marriage lead for Dolphins barn church?

One angle im looking at is the addresses of Darley St and Harold Cross Cottages, I think im correct in believing that they may have been Dublin artisan dwellings and of a decent standard for the era, and if I'm correct they would have been rented to workers in steady employment such as Guinness employees/Tradesmen who could afford the rent ?  that in itself would narrow down any census search on the Martin side?

Dublin / Harolds cross couple.

Hi, Im struggling to find a marriage date for Patrick Martin to Sheila Dunne in the mid 1940s, the couple I believe were nearby neighbors, Patrick from 27 Harolds Cross Cottages, and Shelia from nearby No 1 Darley St.

Patrick was born on 4-3-1923 father's name John/Jack, (I believe at No 27 Harolds cross cottages but not 100%) his father worked for Guinness and may have been a cooper.

Patrick would later also be employed by Guinness as a 'processman'  and from their records he joined on 10-1-1945, they gave Sheila Martin as his wife (I dont know if this would be added on his record when first employed or later date ? hence my guess as to year of marriage, their eldest son born 1949 )

Sheila Dunne was born 1928 (no day/month) but the belief is at 1 Darley St.

I have checked the 1911 census for family surnames for both Harolds Cross Cottages and Darley st in hope that the family had lived there but drew a blank.

I also paid a visit to the GRO Research room today in hope of finding either or both Birth and Marriage cert but the offices were not open (2pm).

I would as always be very grateful for any info forwarded in order to continue.
Thanking you.
