Yes he must be. If Thomas 1886 was a cousin to Thomas 1860 (the one that was murdered) Then Michael was also a cousin because he was a brother of Thomad 1860.  ;)

Sorry sandra, that thread was fir Thomas who married Mary Tarpey - I have been trying to tie that family into my Thomas who's parents were Thomas and Mary McGarry - am I right in assuming then that Thomas who married Tarpey was a cousin to Thomas son of Thomas and McGarry - way too many thomases :(

Only IF the son of Thomas Creighton and Mary McGary was born on 4 th November 1885 and not 1882 which you originally gave.

Oooohhhhh, I'm going to make a phone call tomorrow to a priest in Roscommon who may be able to confirm the birth date for me, I'm only wasting your time otherwise, so sorry, you did find Edward though - right?

Hi Fran,

Just one more peculiar thing. Looking at reply 1  -  quoted a family tree with a death date of February 1964.  Looking at the death record for Thomas Creighton in February 1964 - the birth date shown is 8 November 1882  ???

Thomas Creighton. Born 8 November 1882 abd Died february 1964
Last Residence: Illinois
SSN issued: Illinois (Before 1951)

Regards
Sandra

Not sure if this route would help you - it was a suggestion made on another thread when someone was having difficulty finding the parents.

If you have trouble obtaining the birth certificate, then an alternative way of finding out the parents' names would be to order the SS-5 (application for an SSN).

http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
 - if you can find it here, click the little icon that looks like an envelope and it will create a letter you can send off.

I don't think we are allowed to put Social Security Numbers on here so I will send by pm - just incase it is an option and you wish to take that route.

Regards
Sandra

The number of family tree entries that have no sources or wrong information is quite incredible sometimes.

Would be lovely to think this is your Thomas and I hope the Priest in Roscommon will be able to help you with the birth date. 

Wishing you the very best of luck and if you can spare a minute, would love to know the outcome.

Thank You
Sandra
