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.
