Roscommon / Re: Anne Doyle & Mathias Connor from South Park Roscommon 1850's
« on: Wednesday 09 September 20 16:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello, hope you all are well.

I found obituary of Anne Doyle in USA and in it, it mentioned Bridget Theresa Belton nee Doyle dob 1866 which would be Anne's niece. Bridget's parents would be Patrick Doyle and Margaret Healy according to Bridget's US marriage cert but her birth is not showing up on Civil record Irish Gen... Do you know which Irish gen records is the best place for me to look at?

I couldn't find Patrick's birth record either but on his marriage cert in USA, it shows that he was married to Ellen Mooney and his parents were Dominic Doyle and Catherine Kelly... Same parents to Anne's. Although Patrick is supposed to be married to Margaret Healy? Both Ellen Mooney and Margaret Healy's childrens' birth dates overlapped each other... That is what made it very confusing as I am dna matched to Bridget Doyle's grandson.

Would appreciate your help! This is my first break through since forever.

Anne Doyle and Mathias Connor's marriage record not on there... You can't put down their names on this link though? Had to look through every names which can be difficult.

Hello guys/ladies,

I'm not 100% convince if the records I found is correct but I was wondering if any of you know which site is best to trace Irish ancestors? Preferable with transcripts since I can't read Latin. At the moment I am using Ancestry but not all the records are on there.

My great grandparents were from Roscommon/Southpark/Ballinkill & Ballymoe.

So far, I think I got Anne Doyle's parents down as Dominic Doyle and Catherine Kelly.
Mathias parents as Mathias Connor and Maria Hallman... Not 100% sure though.
(I've attached the tree)

There's no records for Southpark/Ballinkill & Ballymoe on https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/

Not sure what you mean.

All the names are on the Ancestry index search - Catholic registers.
They are also available on the NLI site https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0551

They are difficult to read -none easy and some worse than others.

All seem to have the same parents - mother Hallman (a couple of variations) except the first in 1836 who has a mother Gara.

It may be the same family - she may have died - we don’t know.

None may be yours, of course  :)

I've edited my post before seeing your reply.

I will try and see if there's connection via Ancestry DNA

Would it be easier if I fly over to Roscommon and do the tracing there in person?

Thanks... Can you read it with ease?  :o I couldn't find it

Clarify, both different parents have Mathias Connor with them? Or were they all from same parents on two different sites?

EDITED:

Got it, both same parents... Will try and work around on those informations to see if Peter/patrick's mother passed away before Mathias remarry.

Hi again... Been trying to search Anne Doyle's parents records for weeks with no luck

Also I couldn't track down Mathias O'Connor's birth/baptism record - seems his father was Mathias/Matthew O'Connor (this was mentioned on #15 by Myluck! re marriage cert) and his death record says he was 52 in 1895 which means he was born around 1843....

One of my late cousin spoken to my 2nd cousin in the 1960's that Mathias had a brother called Peter and nephew called Bill (possible William). That's all I got about Mathias.

I've managed to get in touch with some of descendants, they too don't have any information. Need help from you guys if possible?

Thought I would update you all, I have found him via DNA matches. He was indeed James John Carter from Hanwell. Thank you all for your time in helping me.

Have you loked at other sources of information?
Once you get past the start of parish registers, you have to delve into other areas, and spread the net wide.
Have you searches the National Archives Discovery website? It holds a wealth of information.

It is not as good as some other sites at soundex on names, so as Milliepede says, you may have to be creative with the spelling of the name.

Some areas I can think of for searching.
Wills. Not just for your man, but other names you may have related to the family, or any others you know lived in the same place.

Hearth Tax mid 1660s.
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C16851583
There may well be a printed version of this somewhere on-line if you do a search. Many of the areas of the uk have been published.

Manor records and Court Rolls.
I see there are several for Great Wishford on The National Archives.
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/N16165117
Plus others.
Many of these seem to be held at Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre.
http://www.wshc.eu/

Do you know his occupation? He may have had an apprenticeship. Try a search for that.

Thanks I will look at the links you just posted, there aren't really much info about him on his children's records - just his name and his wife's name.

There is will of some sort but unfortunately I could not read the cursive writing very well... https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/61333/47285_263021009496_22674-00001

Have you tried adjusting the spelling of his surname?  You might get some different results.

I have set it to "sound like" and still nothing for 1665 in Wiltshire... Hence why I'm on this thread in the hope that somebody local to Wiltshire might know the best way to search for Wiltshire records...
