Owen (Hugh) Gilogley/Gillogly
« on: Friday 16 February 07 09:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am really struggling to find information regarding an ancestor called Owen/Hugh Gillogley (various spellings). I know he married a woman called Hannah but that is all. His son Terence later moved to Scotland with wife Ann Colton. Previous research has lead me to Fermanagh County and I hope someone can help me!

Of course I am willing to share whatever information I have got with others.


Regards,

Alan

Hello Alan,

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.
