Stoney-Ryan marriage
« on: Thursday 27 August 09 18:42 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
I'm trying to find more information about a Joshua Stoney who married a Biddy Ryan in Ballingarry Church - CofI. The marriage took place in 1854, and Joshua states he was a widower aged 50. Joshua was living in Ballingarry and Biddy in Lisbryan.
Does anybody know if there is a family history society in that area?
Many thanks
Diane

If they were CoI you should find their marriage on http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

Thanks, Dara. I got my information (and the certificate) from that website. Have you any idea whether Family Search have got all the available civil records online? I was wondering if there is any possibility of more becoming available.
Regards
Diane

As far as I know, everything from the Civil Register is on there.

You need to allow for mis-transcriptions, alternative spellings etc. Also, the way you search can throw up some previously unfound records.

You'll find some useful help here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,357532.0.html
