Does anyone have any relatives named ERLY from Sligo in Ireland who moved to Ossett in England?

If so can you please get in touch with me.

Hello Betty Boo,

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.

The Sligo extracts of of Griffith's Valuations which took place in 1858 only list families named Brierly, Casserly and Gormerly. The Valuations are on John Hayes failteromhat.com website.
