[petermcgoff]

Thank you all so much - I have already ordered
1. James Mcgoff Birth certificate.
2. My Granddads death certificate
3. My Grandma and Granddads marriage certificate.

I just need to apply for my Granddads birth certificate - Q will I need to apply to the register in county Mayo Ireland??
I also want to find out when my granddad travelled to England and where he lived in castlebar county Mayo

Thanks again for all the help

No records were/are kept of people travelling between Ireland and England/Scotland/Wales so the best you can usually do is narrow down the period when a person moved over to England. It's possible that some other of the family also left Ireland.

Hi Peter,

Did you find out any further information regarding Thomas McGoff married to Alice Maloney - as he is my great-grandfather

I'm the grandson of Ann Carbert (nee McGoff)

Thanks

may be a bit late on this post but interested in the McGoughs of Durham.

Im researching my partners direct line of McGoughs and various spellings of the surname.

3rd great grandparents William McGeough and Bridget McGeary. Cavanakeeran, Tyrone, Ireland   
2nd great grandparents Bernard Mcgough and Sarah Brannigan  Consett iron work accident Durham.
great grandparents John Mcgough and Isabella Ritson Blaydon upon tyne.

could there be a link do you think?

Unfortunately I don't think there's a link.. my great grandad Thomas McGoff ( originally spelled McGough ) .... was the first generation to come to England as he was born in County Mayo, Ireland - he married my great grandma in 1922 near easington, county durham and we believe he came to England a year or two before

We don't know of any other relatives who came over to England - he did have brothers and sisters, but they lived/stayed in County Mayo
