Anthony Culkin
« on: Saturday 23 February 08 17:36 GMT (UK) »
Anthony Culkin born 1856 emigrated to York married Mary Igoe in 1884 in York.  Does anyone know anything about his Father David Culkin I don't know when he was born all I know is that when Anthony married Mary in 1884 he was deceased.  I believe they came from Sligo.  Can anyone help me.

Hello Janis,

There's no sign of David in Sligo but there are two listed in the Valuations for Co. Mayo. The Valuations are on John Hayes failteromhat.com website.

Griffith's Valuation extracts - Co. Sligo - 1858 - Culkin
Richard, Bunree, Kilmoremoy 
Thomas, Chapel Street, Kilmoremoy 
Henry, Carrowmoran, Templeboy 
Richard, Abbeyhalfquartee, Kilmoremoy 
Margaret, Abbey Street, Kilmoremoy 
Richard, Carraun, Castleconor 
Richard, Newtown, Castleconor 
Patrick, Dooyeaghny or Cloonloughan, Castleconor 

Griffith's Valuation extracts - Co. Mayo - 1856-7 - David Culkin
David, Carrowleagh, Kilgarvan
David, Graffy, Kilgarvan

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.
