Hopkins/Jennings
« on: Saturday 24 February 07 14:25 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for any record of Michael Hopkins who married Mary Jennings in Galway (probably around 1835?).  They emigrated to Windsor Junction, Halifax Nova Scotia in 1860.  Two children were born in Galway Ireland: 

Timothy Hopkins who was born around 1836
Thomas Hopkins who (according to his  US naturalization papers) was born December 1850. 

Had a search done in Tuam with no positive results.  Any recommendations on what to do next?

Hello Rosie,
What denomination were your Hopkins and Jennings ancestors ??? You may have to search Church records as whilst non Catholic marriages appeared in Civil registers from 1845 all BMDs did not have to be registered by law until 1864.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your reply.  My ancestors were Catholic.  Have searched East Galway Historical records with no results as well.
