Because of variations in Surname one can try a Search like this on

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

which is the Irish Govt BDM Website and one gets Certs for free.


There is a Captcha to solve

Then use initials to sign in.  No Sub needed.

To look for Maud or Martha just amend Search accordingly.

Or look for Parent's Marriage using relevant Year Range or Father's Death etc etc

Firstly, linking the 1901 census
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tyrone/Omagh/Rylands/1746468/

Might these be the birth records for Martha and Patrick, both born in the Omagh workhouse?

Hi, I don't know if this is the same O'Connors I am trying to find. My grandmother was Catherine McGrath then McCluskie (Nee O'Connor ). My father Patrick McGrath died young and we would love to find out about both families. I think the O'Connors may have come from Mountjoy East Omagh. Their father was Francis and there was a Margaret, Patrick etc. On the McGrath side her first husband was Robert McGrath and they were married in Sacred Heart Church Omagh. My grandfather had a brother Andrew and a sister Sarah who married an Owen Rafferty in Omagh. If you think this is the same connection my sister would have more information on the O'Connors. So sad that when you are young you don't think to ask any questions. We would love to trace both families and would love to visit their graves which we have already travelled to Tyrone looking for.

Yes, that is my grandmothers second marriage. Her first marriage was to Robert McGrath, Dumragh, on the 1/10/1914 at the Sacred Heart Church in Omagh. Marriage no 96 in on the certificate. I would dearly like to find Robert McGraths place of burial as we would like to erect a headstone on it. I know my grandfather had a brother Andrew who married a Theresa Starrs but he also died young and Theresa remarried a Francis Woods on the 29th of November 1908. She had a son named Michael McGrath from the first marriage, the second marriage took place in Drumannon. On my grandmothers Kathleen O'Connors side we can find no trace of the O'Connors father Francis but my grandmothers sister Margaret O'Connor married a John Burke (his father was Michael Burke) on the 7/10/1919 in Omagh. Her address was Mountjoy East Omagh. My grandmother also had a sister Mary O'Connor who married a Patrick Cassidy on the 13th of November 1910 in Omagh. Marriage no 184. We can not find the O'Connor family being registered but suspect they lived in Mountjoy East Omagh as a few of the marriages gave that address. If we could only find a birth certificate we would know my grandmothers, mothers name. We would also love to know her siblings connections but we seem to think my late mother mentioned a Peter O'Connor calling to the house in Glasgow one time. Thanks for your help.

Just linking the 1914 marriage of Kathleen O'Connor and Robert McGrath. McGrath has been transcribed as Macauley (but it has been reported).
