Does anyone have any idea where Gortinurty, is?  I suspect it's around Malin, since it came from a marriage record that was registered, in the Malin Civil District.

I don't know it if a typo, or if the name was changed to something else, over the years.

Thanks,

While searching on Familysearch,org, I noticed when I bring up the results from  "Ireland Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881" the christening place sometimes has a number in front of it

Like this:Name:    Susan Quigley
                        Gender:    Female
                        Christening Date:    
                        Christening Place: 167, MALIN, DON, IRE
                        Birth Date: 29 Mar 1872
                        Birthplace: Malin, Don, Ire

It seems to be mostly in Malin, and the numbers are sometimes different, but always 3 digits.

I was hoping someone would know what they mean.

Thanks,

Dawn,

I didn't think of that.

I went back and checked, and a baby came one year later, but it seems like the family disappears after that. Although, it's always possible she was pregnant, lost it, and got pregnant again right away.

Thanks for the help.

I'm  getting too find any information on a Gerald Doherty,  who married an Ellen McGuiness(sp?).
Ellen (or it might be  Mary Ellen),   was born abt. 1802,  so Gerald's birth  was probably around that time or a  little earlier.

They  had  2 children, Margaret b. abt 1840,  and Dennis b abt 1844. I  think they had at least one other child  by who's name of Bernerd, b abt 1836.

The children  went to the US  in the late 50's  and early 60's,.

Ellen  showed up in the 1880 US Census  living with Dennis as a widow,  so Gerald died  sometime before 1880.

Hope  this finds a bell  with someone.

Thanks,

Colleen

They supposedly came  from the general area  of Malin.
