I have Mary Mulhall d.c. states female, Prospect, age 75, no mother, father James,
Children George, Patrick, William, Sarah.
Informant, son George.
and
I also have William Reid-Mulhall marriage cert to Elizabeth Smith, Mary's youngest sister, they were married COE, so looks like they didn't bother too much re religion?
and
William Smith Boyd, the father of Thomas and William Boyd, for some reason used his fathers surname Matthew Boyd and his mothers surname Elizabeth Smith.
Hi,
on the d.c. for Mary MULHALL, what information is there for her marriage to George, and for her age at that marriage, and for any mention of any other marriage? what cemetery, what denomination for the clergy noted on that d.c.
on the Elizabeth SMITH marriage, what information on that document gives you that she had a sister, and what was her sister's name at the time of that Elizabeth's marriage, and what information about her parents from that marriage cert?
what documentation do you have to support the notions that
i) William Smith Boyd, was the father of Thomas and William Boyd,
ii) William Smith Boyd for some reason used his fathers surname Matthew Boyd and his mothers surname Elizabeth Smith" ....and where does Matthew Boyd come into this
iii) William Smith Boyd ... father of Thomas and William Boyd ... and how is that Elizabeth SMITH connected to your Joseph LEWIS
May I suggest that you do a time line, working from the death certificate for your confirmed LEWIS ancestor, back to his/her parent, Joseph LEWIS at Fitz' Valley, before you venture back to Charles or his nephew, or any of the Smiths. I think once you have sorted the Fitz' Valley LEWIS families, it will be clearer and you could then see some smaller brickwalls to tackle, rather than at present it seems to me there is a four sided solid brickwall, no opening, no gateway, fully surrounded by a deep moat, and guarded by the lack of information available.
