Is this the same couple you asked about previously?

Hello .
I'm a two year old researcher new to genealogy and RootsChat, trying to find a wedding date for my 2G Grandfather John Irwin and wife Jane surname unknown. Jane died 17th July 1873 aged 63yrs, John died 15 Feb 1883 aged 77yrs, both had been living in Tircorran, Aghanloo, N'limavady. The ages at the time of death suggest birth dates of John 1806 and Jane 1810, any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Belfast Beau. :)

Hi Aghadowey.
Yes its the same couple I think I have covered all the churches in the Limavady area at PRONI and visits to the local churches. Their children all have been recorded as Births marriages and deaths but can't prove wether they originated in this place or moved in from somewhere else. I keep bumping
into the old brick wall and was hoping someone might have some idea where I might try next. Belfast beau.

There's no reason to start another topic looking for the same information so I've merged the new one with the existing thread.

Hi Shieldslad.
Thanks for your input but unfortunately the names don't ring any Bells. I have all their children accounted for Married, Buried and emigrated. I guess I'm going to have to spread the net wider. Again thanks for your offering Belfast beau.
