Yes, Great!

I remember Hughena, saying that her family worked on the construction of the "Titanic" as shipbuilders.  This would also come in handy for the Wilson's Fish business they had a couple of fishing crawlers.  One of Hugh's brothers Albert came to the United States in 1915ish and on his entry card he mentions a uncle John McGreevy, living in Pennsylvania.  So that would make John and William brothers.  I'll have to dig into the records and find more about John McGreevy of Pennsylvania.

Thank You again for all your help.

Oh almost forgot found a site https://dof.belfastcity.gov.uk/ that lists the cemetery's of Belfast and the graves,  I found a couple of Hughena's brothers and one of here sisters, in the data base.

Thank you again for all your help, Happy New Year.

Keep it coming, Glabrous

I'm getting confused on these records,  both are birth records for Robert McGreevy one shows birth in 1889 the other shows it in 1887

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1887/02574/1951650.pdf

and

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1889/02456/1912759.pdf

Is one wrong or did they have two births and named them the same? Or did one pass away as a one year old and then they had an other birth and reused the name?

I found it a death 18 months after the first Roberts birth.

Good sleuthing, Glabrous!  :)

For completeness here's the death in 1888. He was 15 months and died of meningitis.

Here is the states there's a voters registration list it doesn't give much info out just year of birth and where your registered to vote (What voting place.)  It's helpful in finding living people.  Is there a site that I could use, to find some of the living relatives in Ireland?

This is the  one for the U.S.:     https://voterrecords.com/voters/

Kiltaglassan, Can you tell me the Regiment and unit that your great Uncle's uniform is from?  Is it the "6th Inniskilling Dragoons"

He's not in the army, he's a sergeant in the Royal Irish Constabulary.
