McAndrew /Lynch families.
« on: Monday 07 November 05 20:43 GMT (UK) »
 :) Hi
I'm trying to find information about Peter McAndrew, his wife Sarah Lynch and their son Thomas.  They were born in Pulcommon Co Mayo-Kilkenny between about 1810 (Peter) 1820 (Sarah) and 1845 (Thomas).  They moved to Scotland some time between Thomas's birth and the 1851 Scottish Census.
Thanks
Hipp00

Hello Hipp00,

There are three items you require when searching for Irish ancestors.

1. Denomination.
2. Parish
3. Townland.

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
