Ah! But his only applies Susan if in fact you know exactly where to go to for the Parish records! In Tim's case he is only surmising the County, he doesn't even know the Parish yet! We need to trim the basics first, as he says himself "Both born (and married I think) in Ireland". Now that's a long shot to start with. There are some 650+ CARNEY'S listed in the Griffiths index for the whole of Ireland both North and South which theoretically should give us the location of John CARNEY b.1843'ish but for Tim to identify any one of these Parishes with no information, other than what he has posted is a mammoth task! We can narrow this down to around about 93/95 CARNEY names actually being in Co. Mayo with indeed 3 names with the spelling of CARNY in the whole of Ireland being located in Co. Mayo also! slan Cyril Newsome Loch Garman... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walter Josephy" <walterjosephy@shaw.ca> To: <IRISH-IN-UK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [UK-Irish] John Carney & Mary Riley > Hi Tim, > Though the civil registrations of marriages and births only state "Ireland" > often Roman Catholic baptisms and marriage certificates will actually state > the county of origin in Ireland.
