This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/5395.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Pattie, Thanks, just wanted to be sure I was referring to the correct people. According to the 1901 census Patrick was 75 and so would have been born before civil registration/vital records starfted in Ireland in 1864 (Protestant marriages in 1845) so there would be no civil birth record. His birth would have been about 1826. In order to find his church baptismal record, you'd need to know specifically where he was born in County Leitrim, i.e. the town/townland, civil parish to find the local church where the baptism might be. He was apparently born in County Leitrim since the online census doesn't show a different birth county. He wouldn't necessarily have been born in the same location his children were and even if he was, Annaduff RC Church Registers only go back to 1849 for baptisms. It's possible his baptismal record is in Bornacoola RC Church registers which is adjacent to Annaduff and which go back to 1824 for baptisms. Those church registers are available on microfilm through a LDS Family History Centre. The microfilm # is 1279224 item 13-14 but verify those numbers with LDS before ordering the microfilm. The other neighboring parish which might have his baptismal record is Kiltoghart which goes back to 1826 for baptisms. Those registers are available on microfilm through LDS and the microfilm # is 1279223 item 4-5 but again verify those numbers with LDS before ordering the microfilm. The registers might also include any siblings baptised in the same location although they may not all have been born/baptised in the same place or may have been baptised prior to the date the church registers begin for that location. There are other Gills listed in the census who might be Patrick's siblings including John 82 in the same townland and Francis 69 also in the same townland. There are several others in the same civil parish but different townlands. Maybe one or more of them might be listed in the same church register which contains Patrick's baptismal record with the same parents. If his baptism doesn't appear in either of those registers, you can try to find his place of birth from the civil and church records of the children who emigrated. The records would include: All children, i.e. Patrick, Bridget (Beatrice), Margaret (Mary Jane?) and Cecilia: 1) civil marriage records 2) church marriage records 3) civil death records. 4) church death records. 5) obituaries 6) cemetery records. Alternately, you could have the Leitrim Heritage Centre do fee-based research to find Patrick's baptismal record through their access to county-wide church records and perhaps his siblings as well. Regarding a death record, you'd need to know when Patrick died to find his civil death record. Civil registration records in Ireland aren't computerised. You could look at the family information in the 1911 census records microfilms on order through a LDS Family History Centre to determine if Patrick is still alive at that time and if not his death would have been in the 10 year period between 1901 and 1911. You could then look at the microfilm copies of the Index of Irish Civil Registration Records on order through a LDS Family History Centre and go through the 10 years to find his death record. If he was still alive in the 1911 census then you'd have to search the Indexes for the years beginning 1911 and following to find it. Once you have the information from the Index entry, you can order the actual death cert from the General Register Office http://www.groireland.ie and click on "apply for cert". Irish death records don't include the deceased's place of birth or parents names. Regarding a marriage record, again you'd need to know the date of the marriage and if it was before civil registration started in 1864 and his marriage was not a Protestant one, you'd also need to know the location to find the church marriage record for that location. Since his daughter Celia was born in ca 1870 you could again look through the Index of Irish Civil Registrations records to find the marriage entry between 1864-1870 and if it's there follow the same process as the death record to get the actual marriage cert. Many marriages weren't registered especially during early years of civil records. There are several other Gills listed in the online Leitrim 1901 census who might be Celia's siblings but again it would be difficult to verify that without their civil birth certs. So the 1864 - 1870 time period for a possible marriage might be your best research option to find the marriage record without the specific knowledge of dates of birth of her other siblings. If there's no civil marriage record, your option again would be to have the Leitrim Heritage Centre try to find one for you in church registers in the County. However, the marriage may not have been in County Leitrim. The marriage would generally have taken place in the bride's church which could be either her place of residence at the time of marriage or her birth location. Since she was already deceased by the 1901 census there's no way to know specifically where she was born, i.e. if in County Leitrim or not. The children's records in the US listed above may include her place of birth in Ireland which would at least be a starting point for a possible church marriage record for in her birth location.

I got this list from Read Ireland, you can probably find the cds online. TWO SLIGO MASTERS. John Vesey. Eddie Cahill. Two vintage LPs, originally on the Shanachie label, are here re-released by The Coleman Heritage Centre. The original titles are 'The First Month of Spring' and 'Ah! Surely'. Both men were from South Sligo, although they spent most of their lives in Philadelphia. The albums, which were well known and successful on LP, are published here in their entirety, although with some re-ordering and retitling of tracks. Both of them are excellent examples of the North American/Sligo style, a distinct hybrid of great charm. This is a worthy production that places some great music back in circulation. IN CONCERT. GERRY O'CONNOR & GILLES LE BIGOT. This Gerry is the one from Dundalk, internationally known as a fiddle player, and here he plays with a long-time accomplice, Gilles Le Bigot. Le Bigot is a Breton guitarist who is well known since the 1970s, and who plays with the band Skolvan. They first played together in La Lugh, and have continued working together since the early 1990s. Last year they played a concert in Douarnenez in Brittany, and this CD is the concert as it happened. The music is superb and the communication complete. REUNION. Solas. The Irish-American band Solas are celebrating their tenth year together, and for that reason they decided to bring together all the personnel who passed through their ranks for a gala concert in Philadelphia. The concert was recorded both visually and aurally, and the result is this double release of a CD and DVD. The CD contains 17 tracks and the DVD replays the concert (lasting 1hr. 45 minutes), and includes band interviews, backstage footage, added tracks and a huge photo gallery. STOCKTON'S WING LIVE. TAKE ONE. Stockton's Wing. Stockton's Wing came together in 1980 and made four studio albums. This live one was recorded at The Great Southern Hotel in Galway and the TV Club in Dublin. The mix here is of instrumental selections along with the contemporary songs of Mike Hanrahan. The band is augmented with bass and drums, and there are three tracks that were not on the original release. MALAIRT POIRT Ó FIONNTRÁ. Jimmí Ó Sé. Jimmí is 90 years of age. He plays the accordion with an ease that would be a credit to someone in their fifties, and with the proper swing for the dances of his native West Kerry. Listeners should be aware that most of this recording consists of conversation, sometimes with music playing behind it. The conversation is in beautiful, articulate Kerry Irish, as concise and intelligent as his music, and like his music it is easy on the ears. It consists of personal reminiscence, folk tales, and history (including Lindbergh's transatlantic flight). For anyone who speaks that dialect, it's an undiluted pleasure, and can also be recommended to learners. MISE ÉIRE. George Morrison. In 1960 Gael-Linn commissioned George Morrison to direct a cinematic history of the Irish struggle for freedom between 1896 and 1918. Morrison assembled a huge amount of archive film footage from many sources, and using the filmmaking expertise already assembled by Gael-Linn, created a milestone in Irish cinema. The score was composed and conducted by Sean Ó Riada, and when released, the film took the country by storm. It is now available on DVD for the first time, it's there in its entirety, and there is extra material, including a documentary piece on its making and the short film 'An Tine Beo' which interviews some of the veterans alive at the time. With an all-Gaelic script, it now has English subtitles for the first time. Broken Blues. Gavin Ryan. Gavin Ryan has finished producing his first studio album with engineer/producer Ciaran Byrne (U2, Metallica, The Cranberries, Sinead O Connor...). Top sessioners, Bill Shanley (guitars), Brian Connor (keys), Nick Scott (bass) and Steve Hogan (drums) join him to create an excellent debut album. It should see him take his rightful place among the first rank of Irelands singer/songwriters. Secret Life of a Woman. Marian Bradfield. Marian Bradfield (described as one of Ireland's hidden musical treasures) has penned 3 solo albums and 1 live album with this being her 4th solo effort. Described as an album that has all the richness of ‘sainsburys toffee fudge sauce’ and is one of the best albums to come out of Ireland in years. It is contempary with a twist, thought provoking, raw, sentimental and straightforward with deeply personal stories that are timeless and universal. Lullaby. Matt McGranaghan. Matt has recently recorded his third album, entitled 'Lullaby". ‘Lullaby’ is a truly different album to his previous two, and features a relaxing and beautiful collection of slow melodies and classical pieces. Famous airs like ‘Danny Boy’ and ‘Down by the Sally Gardens’ are featured alongside movie classics such as ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. He also includes five of his compositions including ‘Footprints’ which is a duet with Fr.Brian D’Arcy. Three of these new compositions are written for newborn children to mark their birth. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com http://www.connorsgenealogy.net

The Indexes are at the General Register Office Research Room in Dublin and I know the Indexes are also available on microfilm through LDS but I don't know how late the LDS records are since I don't use them. I use the original records in Dublin. I think the LDS records might be until 1926 but you'd need to check with LDS to see how far the microfilms go. That way at least you'd have the marriage and birth dates and could get copies of the actual certs to see what they say. Researching in Ireland is really no different than researching in the US. You need specific names, dates of events, places of events, etc. So you'd need to know the name of Jane's sister -- given name -- who married the Stinson and his given name, when they married and where they lived. it would really be impossible to find Jane's unnamed sister who married an unnamed Stinson on an unknown date and with an unknown location. There are Stephensons listed in the Leitrim 1901 census which have some names you've mentioned: Drumduff North Townland, Kiltoghert Civil Parish, Leitrim Barony, William Stephenson 65 farmer Isabella 61 -James 27 -John 23 -William McLean 30 son in law/farmer/married.

Fermanagh, Thomas 1 Frances Ormsby 24 relative But without specific dates of birth and places where Isabelle/Isabella, Henry, Fannie and Harriet Stinson lived and when it would be quite difficult to find any possible information about them. There is a Thomas Stephenson living in West Bars in Glenfarne who might be able to help. You could write to him and see if he knows anything about the Stephenson family ancestry. You could also look at the 1911 Leitrim census records for the locations where the Parker and Stephenson families lived to get further detail about them that might further your research.

I do have the 1901 Census of our Parker line. It's the one from Annagh Townland. Lizzie Parker is our line. All the siblings went to the US, but Frederick "Freddie". I don't have any birth date for Gordon Parker, nor do I have a marriage date for Freddie. The Stinsons were cousins of my husband's grandmother, Lizzie Parker. I believe that Lizzie's mother, Jane had a sister, who married a Stinson, and that Freddie may have married his first cousin. I have been searching for a number of years, but with no luck. There are Stinsons in the neighboring county of Fermanagh (Sp?). However, I don't know if this is their connection or not. Some of the given names I recall the family mentioning are Isabelle/Isabella, Henry, Fannie & Harriet Stinson. Jane Parker, the mother, had the maiden name of Stephenson, which I have learned could also be spelled as Stinson. There may be some kind of connection with her maiden name too. But as I! mentioned, I haven't had any luck in finding the correct Stinson line or in having anyone responding who recognizes that Frederick & Gordon Parker are their line. The Parker family lived in the tiny village of Glenfarne in Co. Leitrim, which was not far from the border of Co. Fermanagh (Sp?). A Fannie Stinson was witness to the birth of Lizzie Parker. Thank you again for taking the time to do look-ups. I appreciate you doing so.
