Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Can't read name on bap record

Excellent!   Thank you for this.  Very useful to know, it is likely to be Stars.  I've been staring at the word for hours now.

Could the place be Omagh?

Think it's nearby Usnagh, a townland,

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Can't read name on bap record

I just can't decipher my 4x Great Grandmother's surname. It's a 1833 baptism record for Beragh, County Tyrone. It's the line that starts 28. It is in Latin.

B Elleanoram de Patricio Kelly a Margarita S?????. (Ellenor is the daughter of Patrick Kelly and Margaret but I want Margaret's surname). Ancestry deciphers the surname as Stars but I just can't see that surname around anywhere. I see that there is a second line where someone called Francisco has the same surname but I still can't read it. I guess the second line here shows the other people attending or godparents? They are shown as being from nearby Usnagh.

Tyrone / Re: John O'Hara born 1865 in Co Tyrone?

I guessed as Margaret's age was exact in the 1911 census, then John's might have been too.

Hi.  Thanks for that.  Yes, I saw Margaret's age differed in the two censuses but I have her birth certificate which shows she was born in June 1864.  Unless John was born in another year from 1865, I don't think his birth was registered and I don't think I will ever find out.  That's the thing with Irish genealogy I suppose.

Tyrone / John O'Hara born 1865 in Co Tyrone?
« on: Wednesday 21 December 11 18:18 GMT (UK)  »
My 2 X Great Grandfather John O'Hara appears on the 1901 Census in Creggandevesky,  County Tyrone and in the 1911 census he was living in Portadown, Co Armagh.  Both times he stated his place of birth was County Tyrone.  He was a year younger than his wife Margaret (McSorley) so must have been born 1865.  However, I just cannot find a birth record for him, although one should exist as he was certainly born after the start of Civil Registration. 

The only John O'Hara for 1865 which I can find was born in Keady, County Armagh.  Does anyone know if Keady came under Co Tyrone boundaries at that time?

Or can anyone assist me with finding a 1865 (possibly 1866?) birth for a John O'Hara in Co Tyrone?

I am so frustrated at only being about to go back to the 1860's with my Irish roots.  He was a RC and was married to Margaret McSorley in Beragh, Co Tyrone on 4th July 1888 (although strangely no Civil Registation appears for that marriage, although I have had it confirmed by the church).

Thanks

Richard

Tyrone / Re: Marriage in Beragh

Thanks, sound interesting. Where can I find my nearest LDS library? I live in Basingstoke, Hampshire. I did try google but couldn't see anything. Also, would I be able to get Proni to send that microfiche to the library?

I forgot to mention that they were Roman Catholics
