Look up Mary Whitehead Gilson b. Tullamore 1846
« on: Tuesday 10 April 18 19:55 BST (UK) »
On another site (Scottish Islands)I found info given about above that she married Michael Convoy of Offaly in Liverpool 29 12  1868, she was b 1846, Tullamore (RC Im fairly sure) daughter pf James Whitehead Gilson.
Looking for
a)both parents name on baptismal cert - mother possibly Frances aka Fanny Ryan.
If so her father is same James Gilson who appears in 1901 and 1911 census alternating between Gilson and Whitehead.
b) Michael Convoy any info; b also 1846, Offaly.
Thanks

Thanks Hallmark.
Opened that site and tried 1842 as a trial but unreadable, for me anyway. Are the microfilms in NLI easier to read, do you know - maybe I just picked a bad page!

If she was born 1846, why look at 1842?

Fair point - two reasons, or three
look up their marriage
delaying gratification
its been a long day
Again thanks

Birth of Mary Teresa Gilson 1868 so cannot be yours but father is James, butcher and mother Frances Ryan  :-\
Perhaps this one was known as Teresa?
