Thank you, I do have those marriages.  Looking to connect with anyone who have these ancestors in their tree!

Hi

I am related. John Harley and Anne Bradley are my great great grandparents.

I have been trying to find their marriage record with no success as seemingly no parish marriage records for the period for Moville Upper (Iskaheen) Really frustrating especially as Moville Lower have many more records for the period. I wonder why the NLI didn’t microfilm the marriage records for Iskaheen when they doing the baptismal records in the 50s.

The missing birth record is for Hugh born circa 1862.

The NLI probably had difficulty filming them if they don't exist

Hi Comlamoto,

As I said previously Ann Bradley is my grandfather's Aunt.  She is the daughter of Edward Bradley and Ellen Friel.

The only records that exist in St. Patrick's Church, Iskaheen back in the 1850s are baptisms.  From the 1911 census John and Anne married in 1862.  So what child of John and Anne do you descend from?

Hi DoireM

I am descended through Denis.

My badly phrased question on why there is no copy of the marriage register in the NLI is really about what happened the records. We’re they confirmed lost / destroyed when they undertook the microfilming in the 50s. Interestingly the Iskaheen NLI image is based on a copy made in 1925 on unheaded paper. Compare that to the Moville lower records which have formatted headings so presumably Derry Dioceses probably issued standard registers to be used by the parishes.

Re marriage date I suspect 1858. As head of household John states marriage lasted 47 years. Anne died in 1907 so suspect he was counting back from 1907 rather than 1911.

Hi Comlamoto,

I have been to Iskaheen several times with different priests' asking the same question regarding B/M/D registers.  I get different answers every time … to cut to it, they don't know.  I definitely know that the baptismal register is far from accurate. The baptismal register was re-written by the Curate Fr. Bernard Smyth and I dare say no one proof read back then.  So where the original registers went is a mystery!   I personally have collected much data for the Parish down the years.  Elizabeth is the eldest daughter of John and Anne, she is not in the baptismal register.
