The search for Reynolds in Mohill brings up the following for Reynolds and Company with commercial RV as follows. This is the only entry on the site for Reynolds in Leitrim: County LEITRIM Local Authority LEITRIM COUNTY COUNCIL District MOHILL Electoral Division MOHILL Townland MOHILL Estate Street NO STREET Occupier Name REYNOLDS & CO Trading As Immediate Lessor IN FEE Property Number 1860572 Property Type Domestic Description HOUSE Lot Number 36 Commercial RV € 13.01 Issue Date 05/03/1999 List Status LR (List Rateable) Since you don't know at all where they were even born, whether in County Leitrim or not, it would be doubly difficult for anyone in Leitrim today to try to connect to them or for you to even connect to anyone in the 1901 or 1911 census. Reynolds is a very common surname in Leitrim. What you would need would be a) their parents names and b) names of any of their siblings who stayed in Ireland and the locations where they stayed. to trace them through to the 1911 census. Marriages generally took place in the bride's church which could either be her birth location or place of residence at the time of marriage. If you believe they were both born in Mohill and have found their baptismal records in the church registers, you can look for their siblings names and parents names in the register and any subsequent marriages or births for their siblings through the registers. You could then look for those siblings in the 1901 and 1911 Irish census microfilms to try to bring them closer into the Twentieth Century. Leitrim Heritage should also be able to research through the records for you to get you closer into the Twentieth Century. But it would be extremely difficult with the scant information you have for anyone today to even try to begin to connect their line to yours. With two parents and seven children all born in Ireland who emigrated to the US, there would be far more records for your to search their to find their exact birth locations wherever that was in Ireland. The seven children's children also would be sources to research in their civil and church marriage and death records, cemetery records, obituaries, etc. Those sources for those born in Ireland as well as their US citizenship records, wills, are more places for you to look. There has to be some mention in some of those many civil and church records in the US of at least a county and in all probability a town/townland of birth. You can also look at sponsors at the numerous baptismal and marriage events to find possible relatives whose records you can also search in the US. I do caution however that even if you finish finding where your line originated whether in County Leitrim or not and trace any remaining relatives left in Ireland through the 1911 census that there is still a very small likelihood anyone today would respond to your genealogy query because many people just don't have the time or interest in the topic and such requests are now often being received. There are many millions of descendents of emigrants from Ireland all over the world researching their ancestors and a very minute number of people in Ireland where the requests are being received. So you would need to be realistic in your expectations about anyone providing a family genealogy for you.
