The IGI is the International Genealogical Index and can be searched at the http://www.familysearch.org/ . I think it is family history already submitted by the church members. I believe it is avalable at local family history centres.

Hi List Can someone answer my query, Please. I have found on IGI the marriage of William John McCaughan and Anne Telford, it does give not ages or more importantly the Fathers names for the couple. In the original registers, (I assume they were married at St Anne's Parish Church. Belfast, as their children were baptised there) would it give the Fathers name as it would in an English parish register for that period of time. The couple were married 9th December 1942. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Richard

I hope some kind person on the list can advise me or possibly even do a lookup for me. I have some unauthenticated report that my great-grandmother was born in 1867 at 15 Trafalgar Street Belfast but I have a feeling that that address might be her subsequent marital home. Her maiden name was Isabell(a) Noreen McAuley or McCauley and she married my great-grandfather James Cain, born 1868 in Port Glasgow, Scotland. At some point, he changed his name to Kane and crossed the denominational divide from RC to Presbyterian, or so the story goes. They had four girls and two boys, the elder being John Alexander Kane and his younger sibling being my grandfather James Kane. Sometime around the start of the Great War, the family decamped to Liverpool. I wonder if anyone has a census report for Isabella's McCauley or McAuley family some time between her birth in 1868 and her marriage around 1895/6, possibly at the Trafalgar Street address? Even better, does anybody have a record of this family living in Belfast in the early 1900s? James Cain/Kane born 1868 Isabella Noreen Kane nee McCauley born 1867 John Alexander Kane born 1894 James Kane Junior born 1896 Isabell Noreen Kane DoB unknown Jean Kane DoB unknown Lily Kane DoB unknown Catherine Noreen Kane born 1905 Failing that, could anyone advise me on how best to proceed? I'd really like to pin down the McCauleys if I could. -- Regards John Kane 0779 446 7809 _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ Map to our house (3 Lindfield Rd., W5 1QS) here: _/ http://tinyurl.com/byp4p _/ We are directly opposite the Methodist church _/ and next door but one to Duffys Pub _/ (on map, see pin A, first entry in the adverts column). _/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Some time ago, members of this list sent information as to the surnames they were researching and their whereabouts so that others of similar interests could contact them. The traffic was pretty heavy for a while so I decided to wait a bit before posting mine. So here are my surname interests. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say?
