County Mayo search question

[heywood]

It's a pity that death certificates don't give much information.
It's going to be difficult going back that far.

I looked at Griffiths for Cunninghams in Killasser and Attymass parishes but there are none
As we can't see a marriage in England, and Winifred was born in Alnwick c 1850 (do you have her birth certificate?) you are looking for a marriage c 1848/49.

If there are 2 Farrell Ruanes in Griffiths as appears to be, one of them- Killasser parish is presumably the one born c 1820 and dies in Swinford district 1882.
He may be married to Honor McNicholas according to FS.

Then there is one who is married to Bridget Deacy in Foxford (Toomore)  having children c 1865.
Also a Martin Ruane, married to Bridget McNulty, having a child, Farrell in Ballina area c 1870.  Possibly Attymass?

Not sure what any of this indicates but it often helps to go over these things. 

Attymass/Killasser and Toomore civil parishes all border on each other

Heywood,

Exaclty!!!

I dont have Winnie's birth cert I will e mail my buddie as it never works for me trying online, never had a result yet! I think she was born 1848-1850, census 1851 says 1 year old (and census lie a lot had my grandfather down as 1 when he was 3 mths old in 1881). I have searched and only got Winifred Rooney Northumberland. This whole computer carry on searching puts my head away! I am always clicking the wrong thing. Cheers!

Ye Heywood,

you dont happen to know the vol and page number for that birth do ya?

If I get that and its not her, i will conclude she was born in Mayo too and will search for her. For one reason I have articles I got online that state of anti Irish riots in the north east of England but particularly in Durham-Northumberland at that time which occured frequently between locals and the Irish immigrants, this was mainly about jobs but also Britain has always had a sectarian attitude towards Irish catholics in times of trouble. Even during the last episode from 1968 until about 1979 I wittnessed it myself.The Fenian trouble was raging then in England also. So maybe (I l know familes who stated born in England to avoid any trouble). My own Keenan family in Durham and Nthumberland changed their name several times to Kenny (sounds daft as that'a still Irish but sounds less than Keenan) and fist names from Owen to Isaac civil records state Isaac and Kenny RC records state Owen Keenan my GG granda so we'll see. I need the ref for the Winnie Roany birth if anyone can help thanks!

sorry- I realise now that I didn't put the quarter - December quarter 1849.

Don't know what you are doing wrong though- it is fairly straightforward
