maybe I didnt explain that well! What I meant was that when your irish folks came here, if they had any children born in scotland, sometimes that childs birth cert holds the details of the parents marriage...........
eg andrew gardiner born in slamanan, parents william gardiner and margaret adair married 24/12/1860 antrim etc.......these are correct names but not dates on some of mine......
sorry, lainey

I have banged my head against a brick wall for the last couple of months about this. All of my maternal side came from Ireland in the early 1800's apart from one GGG Grandfather who ws prodestant. The rest I have exhausted all avenues. Even with a descendent by the name of Barnabus McGuire I am stuck. I am hoping to go through to Edinburgh and check the Catholic Archives and Poor Rekief Registers to see if even a county is mentiones as it is not in any Census.

Good Luck and anything that works spread the word.

Hello Begley Seekers.
I have just come back from Ireland. Two of the cemeteries I visited had a lot of Begley headstones.

1. St. Aiden's Parish, Magilligan, Limavady.

2. Church of Ireland. On the same road. Looked closed down, but cemetery still in use recently.

Three old Parish Registers from St. Aiden's are held at PRONI.
No copying without Parish permission.
