McCoy, Bridget 1830

[brendam]

Hello,

Searching for Bridget McCOY, born 1830, possibly Waterford.  Bridget emigrated to Canada at some point.  Married Thomas Cluney.

I know this is a long shot because the only information I have is what I have written above.  I've posted the name anyway, you just never know when someone else may be searching.

cheers
Brenda

Hello Brenda,

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.
