George Elvin born 4 Feb 1929 in Barnesmore Gap, Donegal

[EileenBlacklock]

I have details of his marriage in the UK but his life in Barnesmore is  mystery.

I got his birth details from Ireland, Civil Registration Births Index which gives his mother's name as Ingram and the district it was registered was Stranolar.

Any idea where I can find his family or any more details about his parents please?

There is a possible marriage here for his parents

What was his father’s name on his marriage certificate?
