Hi
I've posted this before and got some amazing information from the group.  I've hit another wall so thought I'd try again.  I strongly believe that my great grandmother, Isabella Gilpin, born around 1858 in Armagh (possibly Portadown) is the daughter of William Verner Gilpin.  I just cannot prove it since birth records are not available that early online.  I believe she is because on her death certificate (March 1915 in Connecticut, USA) her father is listed as Wm V. Gilpin.  Her obituary mentions a brother David and James, both the names of two of William Verner's sons.  I just want to have something more definitive if possible, otherwise I feel like I'm speculating.  I've tried twice to obtain her marriage certificate in the hopes it would list her father's name.  Using the NY Health Department index on Ancestry, I believe she was married in Queens to Thomas Wilson in 1891.  Both requests have turned up no records.  NY Health sent me to NYC and NYC sent me back to the NY Health Department!  I was hoping a marriage cert would have been my proof. 

So back to square one on trying to prove out that she is in fact a daughter of Wm Verner.  If anyone has her in your tree or access to any church records, I assume Methodist.  I'd appreciate your assistance.  Thank you,

Laura

Thanks!  I'm going to try again!

Hi
Curious if anyone may have any information on Sabinae Mulligan b. approx 1768, Drumloughlin, Emartis, County Monaghan.  Father possibly Bryan Mulligan (b. 1740 ish).  She married Mattias (Matthew) McManus date ukn and had at least 7 children all born in St. Peter's Athlone, Roscommon.  First born child born in 1791 and through 1808.  Her date of death may have been 1810 ish.   

Any information or if anyone has the ability to look up parish records in Emartis as early as 1768 (online records do not go as far back on the NLI site), I'd appreciate it.

Thank you,
Laura

Yes, me too...at least now that I re-look at it!

Thanks,
Laura

Hi
Wondering if anyone might have Ellen Mahoney Barry (dob abt 1811??) in their trees.  I've been working this family and trying to prove out that the Ellen Mahoney who married Edward (Ned) Barry (marriage date ukn) and had at least two children born in Caheragh Cork:  James - 1832 and Mary (1833-1916 -  Mary married Murty Hourihane in Caheragh 1858), is the daughter of Martin Mahoney (1764 (possibly at Dromore Castle Kerry) dod 1834).  This Marin would be the same Martin that ran the Mahoney Bros Mills in Blarney which later became the Blarney Woollen Mills.  He had a daugher, Ellen with second wife Maria Reynolds around 1811.  I have some information that leads me to this path (honestly just another person's tree which doesn't have a ton of proof attached) but want to try and come up with a connection.  Thanks in advance.
