Markie / Markey

[irene_kipyahoo.co]

I am looking for information on a Michael Markie born somewhere in Ireland around 1836.  His parents were Daniel Markie and Margaret Kelly.  As far as I know Michael had an older brother, Peter   Both Michael and Peter moved to and settled here in Scotland.  I would love to trace info about Daniel Markie and Margaret Kelly and trace their bmd's and their ancestors.  I know without an exact place of birth or marriage etc it  is a long shot but would be so grateful if anyone could give me any information on the family or suggestions as how to research it from here in Scotland. Thanks

Hello Irene

I don't know if you found your info

I'm in Ireland

That name is popular in Cavan Monaghan and Louth counties also Dublin

If you haven't found anything best way is do a DNA test  it will find cousins from 1st to distant ( 5 to 8th)

In Ireland the paper records arnt great registration didn't start till 1864.

Census for 1901 and 1911 but before that many destroyed in fire

There are valuation of tenements 1856 or 1857 which show who was on land but you dont have area so no good
And if it was leased but it will only show name not details of person

So best do DNA

Regards
S
