Steve,  A partial answer:  (1) Registration District. Here, Irvinestown.  (2) Not sure -- it's either the page or the entry number. My educated guess is that it's the page.    In the IGI, they DO NOT extract the townland of birth. The format is as follows:    Page or entry number, Registration District, County, Country.    -Clare L.    -----Original Message-----  <<< Birth: 14 APR 1864 0153, Irvinestown, Fermanagh, Ireland.    resulting in my two questions.    1) I had believed that he was born in Killymendon, County Tyrone (which is nearby). Does the birth designation specify the actual place of birth or simply the place of registration of that birth?    2) What does the 0153 mean?    >>> 

When searching for my grandfather, Henry Graham, on Family Search, it returns for the IGI Event(s): Birth: 14 APR 1864 0153, Irvinestown, Fermanagh, Ireland. resulting in my two questions. 1) I had believed that he was born in Killymendon, County Tyrone (which is nearby). Does the birth designation specify the actual place of birth or simply the place of registration of that birth? 2) What does the 0153 mean? Thanks in advance for any responses to my questions. Steve

Hi Tee My people were also Reformeds and Covenanters in the Bready area (or at least some of them were). I don't pick up the name of Dennison, but will look for you. Would you like the O.S. map of the area? What townlands were you looking for?

Hello again, My GG Grandfather, Edward Smith of Ireland, who married Bridget BREEN of Tyrone, Dromore is my brick wall. I am coming to this list with a few questions, as you all seem so nice and informative. I have searched as many avenues as possible to find info. on him, to no avail. The one curious item I have found is an entry in the funeral book of St. John's Catholic Church in Indianapolis, Indiana which is where his two children were baptized. (1883 and 1885). Bridget's 1931 obit mentions him as her first husband, saying he died 46 years earlier. That would put the date at 1885, the same year his son was born. There is one entry, in Latin, saying an Edward Smith died on June 1, 1885. There are more words in Latin, but I cannot understand Latin. I have been in communication with the Indiana State Library. They have exhausted all their resources for birth, marriage, death, addresses, accidents. No Edward Smith. All of his children's census say their father was born in Ireland. I do not know if he and Bridget married in Tyrone, or here in the states. Her 1900 Marion county census says she came over in 1880. That would have made her age 20. Does anyone read/know Latin that I may send you the little entry the library sent me, so I can tell if there is a clue to his story? Is it a common practice to enter a parishoner in a funeral book even if the funeral itself wasn't held there? Thank You so much, Cece

Although I am not researching in Tyrone I was helping some friends to get started on their search. We went to Omagh Branch library and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had an Alpha list of the 1901 Tyrone Census. They have the films at the library. So, If you are coming to Ireland to do research, You aren't researching too far back and the 1901 Census would help you, You only know that your relatives were from Tyrone but you don't know the Parish, this would be really good for you. ... As far as I know no other County has done this but would be happy to find out that I was wrong! >>>

The Index is now online for surnames beginning with A, B, C, D, E, and F. We are up to L in our transcriptions and when I get some more time, I hope to get more letters online. If you submitted a surname to the Surname Registry in June and it is not online, it is because it is floating around in cyberspace. We moved to a new server and suddenly our form wasn't working. But now all is well and it is fixed. So I apologize if yours is lost. Please resubmit another one and we will include it in our next update. Also, I had a note from someone who is trying to contact a person who listed a surname because they may be related. If your email changed, submit a new form and put 'change' in the field where you want the change. You can find links to both the Surname Registries and the 1864 Ireland Birth Index at: http://www.irelandgenweb.com/ -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
