Welcome to RootsChat

Do you have any dates at all?

1901 and 1911 censuses are available (free) on census.nationalarchives.ie

To go back any further you need to know which parish or townland they came from, and which religious denomination they were.

i only now that they were prodestant and came from woodburn and woodburn  presbyterian church 14th dec 1900  i think he was born app 1866

Is 1900 the year James Bingham married?

Woodburn Presbyterian Church was about 4 miles north of Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim.

Exactly what information are you looking for?

Is this James Bingham in 1911? wife Maggie, married 10 years...

Thanks soooooo much fills in some gaps i just cant go backwards  ie samuel Bingham, James farther ive drawn a blank completely ! any ideas at all

[aghadowey]

It sounds as though you already had some of the information I posted?

Samuel's marriage certificate will list his father's name but how much m,ore information you could get is hard to say as the family were labourers and may have moved about a fair bit.
