I have located the church records, Baptisms of some of the children, but it gave little information of value. It did list the Godparents, but their names didn't mean much to me as they are not family names. I am awaiting a copy of the Marriage cert. from the GRO in hopes that it will give me a clue to the correct name of the fathers. It WON'T tell me where they are from. When I have their names I can look on Irish websites to try to find out where they were baptized. I can also look on Griffiths Valuations. I am slowly discovering that finding where your Irish ancestors are from in Ireland, if they were born before the late 1890's is like finding a needle in a haystack! But I'll keep trying... -----Original Message----- From: glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of the cohens Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 11:26 PM To: glamorgan@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GLA] Clifford Family Unless Boston death certificates from the 1890's are better than those from New York City in that time frame, I would not count on better place of birth information on his death certificate. I would also be tempted to check church records. Might the baptisms in Wales (if that is where they had their children) be in church register books? If they are, they could be a gold mine. I also wonder if anyone else might have information about your great grandparents birthplaces in Ireland, on Irish genealogy sites. I don't know if any of the databases I know of, for researching births and baptisms in Ireland and Wales, will have your grandparents or children listed, but maybe there might be an appropriate database on the following page in those sections. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/birthindexes-bri .html On 4/13/11, rdmnanst@aol.com <rdmnanst@aol.com> wrote: > Nancy > > > Since you have his death info, Aug 30, 1892, Boston, check out to see > if Mass. has his death certificate. > Theres a good chance his birth Town or Co with be on it. > > > Doug > Missouri > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nancy Rogers > To: glamorgan@rootsweb.com > Sent: Tue, Apr 12, 2011 7:03 pm > Subject: [GLA] Clifford Family > > > I'm trying so hard to find out where in Ireland my g-grandparents >lived before they arrived in Wales. >....... > > James Clifford and his wife Mary Ellen (Corbitt or Corbett) were > married in Methryr Tydfil in 1855.
