mcneice from lurgan

[scotty75]

hi all, new to this forum. So I've hit a brick wall with trying to find Mary Mcneice, born 6th july 1872. I know she married William Gartshore but we think she also married a Glen and a  Tennant (interesting lady by all accounts!)...finding it hard on the websites to find any records of any of her marriages- we think she went to scotland from Lurgan. She had two brothers, Daniel and Joshia. Anyone know where to find decent access to marriage certs??  She had  daughters rebecca, maggie, agns, mary and a charlie.Thanks in advance

Actual Irish marriage certificates will not be online but there is the civil registration index (goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties). The Irish BMD Index is available at this link.

Scottish certificates, on the other hand, are available to download online, or purchase for more recent dates. See www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk to see what's available, how to purchase credits, search the index, etc.

Any idea of dates for thesse marriages? and what order they might have happened?

Added- where any of the children born in Scotland? Scottish birth certificates list date and place of parents' marriage (see Scotland's People website)

Found this McNeice family in 1911 census which includes a Daniel and family is born in Armagh so perhaps keep in mind-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Cromac/Balfour_Avenue/158416
same family in 1901 census-

Any idea what religion the family were?

Added- see next post

A Daniel McNeice, Lurgan in PRONI Will Extracts- "McNeice Daniel of Lurgan county Armagh retired government official died 23 August 1924 Probate Belfast 21 November to William O'Neill secretary. Effects £82 3s. 9d."

Another Daniel McNeice reference (obviously a fairly common combination of names in Armagh)-
Daniel McNeice, born 3 Aug.1870 Lurgan district no. 1 (page 704 in civil register), parents- Thomas McNeice & Catherine McConville.
Mary McNeice born 6 July 1872 Lurgan district no. 1, same parents.
Josiah McNeice born 23 Oct.1867 Lurgan (page 697 in civil register), same parents.
Margaret McNeice born 1 Sept.1869 Lurgan, parents Thomas McNeice & Catherine McConnell.

Also: Jane McNeece born 10 Jan.1866 Lurgan (page 714 in civil register), parents Thomas McNeece & Catharine McConville

Possibly more children born in Scotland?
Annie McNeece born 1 Nov.1874 Barony, Lanarkshire, parents Thomas McNeece & Catherine McConnell.

In view of this last record you might want to concentrate finding the family in Scottish records (census, deaths, etc.).
