Great resource!

As you scroll through FILMS you need to check where you are on Index by looking at the Index "cards" located through films

I'm giving up for the moment I can't find anything, going a bit bleary eyed looking at them, I not really expecting to find anything anyway.

    I'm jet lagged! Bleary eyed when I woke this morning....

Thanks, Hallmark, for explaining the process more clearly than I could have done.

The marriage settlements seem to be in the early 1800s - the only ones I found were 1808, 1809 and 1822 - all for Keating siblings.
 
I also found an example of a partnership - two brothers as grocers in Limerick City.

I think I got lucky with my first couple of searches because I looked for Keatings in the year of their possible marriage. Later on, I looked for Keatings around the time of their deaths, when land often changed hands.

It certainly is hard on the eyes. Good luck!

Sinann,

I had a quick look for your John de Penthony O'Kelly. I found this reference:
1892 36 106 for him.
 
If you scroll down to the deeds, settlements etc part, and go to the listing for 1892 book 36 - the image you need on this reel is 150. It's #106 at the bottom of left hand page - from Dunford to Maher and mentions your John (of Ardmore), also a Peter de Penthony O'Kelly and a Mary Ann Thunder, formerly O'Kelly, wife of Patrick Thunder of Lage.

No problem.....finding the first one is difficult but after that it gets easier.

I see you are looking for Nelsons in Donegal,  is Horatio Nelson yours?

I wish! Of course the family story was tnat Margaret Nelson (who "married" Jeffrey Keating) was related and supposedly had one of his buttons! (Which by the way I saw when visiting the Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh.)

And in one of those strange coincidences, I found my James Keating living in Limerick in Keatings Lane, just off Nelson St!

Oops! I did it again and didn't think to post the link. Thanks, hallmark. :-)
