Hello Karen, With a lot of luck I guess, I got these record. Three years ago I went to County Cavan looking for info on my Grandfather Patrick Riley going through Cavan City I saw the sign for COUNTY CAVAN GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH CENTER. T old them I was looking for info On Patrick Riley they laughed. They asked if I knew his father name I said Philip and the laughed more, then they asked if I knew the mother's name and I said Mary Warrington they did not laugh but said we may be able to help you as Warrington is not familia with this area. About an hour later they came back with the marriage info and the Baptism records for all the children of Philip and Mary My grandfather Patrick being first on the list. These records came from microfilm reel of church records for the parish of Lurgan. They gave me copies of the originals and made up typewritten details of the entries. I do not remember what I paid but I do not think it was that much. To me any price was worth it for the info I received The address there is Cana House, Farnham Street, Cavan. telephone:+ 353 49 436 1094 Fax: + 353 49 433 1494 E-mail: canahous@iol.ie Cavan Research Centre
Lucky lucky you. I also went to Cana House about a year or so ago when we traveled to Ireland. However, they could find nothing in their records for my Samuel Hart and his wife Rebecca Kelly. The did find a Margaret Hart whose father was named Samuel Hart, with no mother's name, but so far I have not been able to connect those two Samuels - the dates, marriages, etc. don't seem to fit. Well, now that I think of it, perhaps Samuel had a girlfriend in Ireland whose baby was Margaret, and then he married Rebecca and left for Canada........ possible, I suppose!
