Families joined by marriage-Need Help Please!!!!

Post by angel » Wed Jul 12, 2006 3:25 pm

Hello Everyone


Seeking information on James Townley Snr and Jnr from Ardmilian Parish. James Townley Jnr married 10 March 1829 Killinchy to Agnes Sheilds. I have no mother/wife and I don't know if there was any other children.

Also looking for information On John Quin and Eliza Cain. I know they had a son Andrew born Belfast about 1839. Andrew married in May 1865 In Newtownards Co Down and his father was a Farmer or Farm Labourer.

And looking for information on Joseph Sheilds from Ardmilliam Parish Co Down. He had a daughter Agnes who married 10 March 1829 Kilinchy Co Down.

Joseph b. about 1800 his daughter b. about 1819. This is all I have on father and daughter I do not know who the mother/wife is or whether there are any more children. Can anyone Help please?

Heather

P.s Andrew and Arabella are my 2 x times great grandparents and I know what happened to them after they married.

Hi Heather!

Don't get your hopes up! I've got no information for you, but hope you're making some headway. I'm just starting out on my Irish searching and am finding that it's going to be quite tricky :!: - an understatement if ever I saw one ...

Don't give up!

The biggest problem I have found is, even when you do find a marriage, very few seem to have regarded the bride and grooms mothers as worth even naming, and baptism records seem to have the same problem.

Typical - the woman does all the hard stuff, but he's the only one who gets a mention :twisted:

I've had some good luck by contacting the Parish Church. I requested the baptism record for my great great grandmother, and they also included the records for her seven brothers and sisters.

Happy searching.

Have to say, one very nice lady Vicar in Antrim and her very obliging Sexton managed to find my GGG Grandmother's baptism record.

All because I googled for a church in the right Parish. Well worth trying.
