Thanks for these Cara. Did you get this information off the I.G.I. ? Some of it looks familiar. I`ll add these to my notes. Should I ever find a baptism I may be able to put the rest of the family together. One thing that`s occurred to me just lately that I hadn`t considered before. They could have been Church of Ireland and I`m not sure if there is any coverage on the I.G.I. He married in a C of E church in Manchester but this was the religion of the bride so this wasn`t really surprising, even if he was R.C. Does anyone know what the coverage of the Church of Ireland is and availability of records? Thanks for the interest Cara. Regards. George.
