Anne Hatton/McElhatton b.c.1836

[kjmck]

Thank you! May I ask where you found the witnesses to the marriage?

So the parish you talk of is Termoneeny?

A rough guess may be that Daniel/Hugh Hatton, could be brother's of Anne.

In 1911 on the marriage registration of Anne's son, John Magee, a James Hatton is a witness also.

This doesn't mean the Hatton's couldn't be from Mayo though I suppose?

Where did you get the marriage from?

The marriage is Termoneeny /Lavey.  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0371

Ancestry and Find my Past have indexes so it is easier to find surnames.

It could still be that she was born Mayo, I suppose but the family may have moved/originated in Derry.

I got it from Ancestry, but missed Hugh Hatton's name below.

2 questions I have -

- Do you think, without the Parish name for Anne in Mayo, it's a dead end?

- To get parish records from the North of Ireland, are they available online or is a visit to the Parish church recommended?

You have the record in the parish record. There will be no more.

The name is not showing in Mayo records.

Have you traced the Hatton marriage witness?

Hugh Hatton & Susan Murphy? Trying to go through the parish records to look out for names i recognise, a bit hard as its in Latin

It could be coincidence that these are Hattons are in Gulladuff too - it might be that your connection is through the Magees.

Sorry, I meant the 1911 marriage but I have now posted censuses.

Thank you for these. It's late and confusing me easily, so I will have to put aside a good few hours to do the research. I am used to researching records from England/Wales/Scotland, Irish records are a lot harder to deduce at first.
