Mary Mc Closkey Ovill Dungiven

Thanks, I have some for Richard Hegarty's family. I was talking about Richard's mother Mary Hegarty (Mc Closkey)

Thank you. All your research is much appreciated.
 
I was aware of the twins who died in infancy but could not find a death certificate for them.
 
It is with Mary McCloskey Ovil, an only child, who died in 1874 that I have hit a brick wall. She married William Hegarty who was born in 1802 and died in 1892.

She inherited house/land in which they lived from her McCloskey father/mother.

My 4 times great grandmother Mary McCloskey married Richard Hegarty, died on 14 August 1874. I have no information on her date of birth. I'm not sure if she would be related to Patrick McCloskey, his son would be Cardinal John McCloskey.

My grandad was born in Feeny, not far from where Patrick McColskey was born.

I'm not sure if I've missed some info. but would it not be an idea to get the marriage record for Mary McCloskey to find out who her father was & his occ. to work from before trying to incorporate possible relatives?

To date, I have had no success in obtaining their marriage certificate.
Probably down to my lack of skill in this area. Very often it comes down to luck whether I source a certificate or not and other times I find them without any effort.

Civil registration of Catholic marriages didn't begin until 1864. I can't see Mary's death registration at the moment  but I suspect then marriage was well before 1864, in which case you'd need to search church registers. Many are online but dates covered vary. However, early registers don't usually list details of parents.

NP, I looked up hegarty's in Newtownstewart in 1901, they all come up as protestants. I can't find any catholics in the area. Strange, William Hegarty was a catholic? just curious

A cousin was able to help find some, it was hard to find the rest

William was probably a Protestant as that is the only records I could find for Hegarty's in Newtownstewart. Subsequently, the only way I can know we are dealing with the right person is to obtain Mary and William's marriage certificate. Is visiting PRONI offices in Belfast the only way I am going to source this certificate?
