Hi folks, Because the above names have been mentioned of late, I thought I would post my Limerick connections. I have Patrick Murphy, born approx1814 Doon, Limerick to Thomas Murphy and Margaret Sullivan. Thomas married a widow Ellen Nichols nee Cormick/ McCormack who was born Limerick 1818 and married 3 rd March 1845,Catholic Church, county of Murroe, Limerick Ellen's parents were Michael Cormick/McCormack and Margaret Mahoney One of Patrick Murphy and Ellen Cormick's daughter's Ellen ,married John O'halloran/Hallinan/Halloran in Australia. Family history tells us that the couple knew each other in Ireland, although the Halloran's came from Tipperary.(Killan) John O'Halloran's grandmother was Alice Kearney. Regards, Anita

I, too, found the marriage (1844) and subsequent baptisms of children (1844 and 1846) through IFHF for West Galway. Through the information on those records, I was put in contact with the church who has the old records. When I received the copies of the actual church records, it was the same: no parents' names for the bride and groom...only the surnames of the fathers of the bride and groom. I was happy anyway because I now found WHERE IN GALWAY (parish and townland). Kitty **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

Chris, Do you have his RIC service record? It will tell you where he was "native to", which is supposed to be where he was born. Well, county only. You can send for it via the Police Museum in Belfast email: museum@psni.police.uk I have been searching for my (RIC) Gr Grandfathers birth and death dates and have recently discovered that the RIC pension records are now available on line from the Kew Archives in Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 1:59 PMLondon. For a fee of course. Have sent a request for an estimate for these records.Waiting to hear back from them. Hoping that if I can find when and where his pension stopped, may locate his death place and date and then be able to obtain death record which will hopefully lead to his birth record also. Good luck!

Maureen~ Were these sacramental records from a Church or were they Civil Records which for Protestants started in 1845?? I have the marriage (Civil) for my g grandparents from Limerick City 1862. She was Catholic but he was Protestant. It gives the bride and grooms occupation, church, address at the time of the marriage. Only the father's names were listed and their occupations. There were no mother's names or where the parents resided. The nationalities of the bride and groom and the two fathers. I have the sacramental record for my g g grandparents in County Mayo from 1835. It lists the names of the bride and groom, the sponsors, the townlands where they resided, the names of the father's and their townlands. All were the same townland. No mother's were listed. Going forward to my g grandmothers in 1860, all is still the same on the sacramental certificate, however it was for a different church. We have the marriage and baptismal records for the RC church in Rathagan County Wexford from 1803 to about 1900. The data is the same as mentioned above. Mary Ellen Chambers Lakewood, OH:

Hi Carla, I am delighted that my suggestion paid off. From what I know of the Knight himself I would have been disappointed had he not replied or in this case passed the e-mail on.

You may want to contact her to see if she found out anything new.

Hi Carla, I have emailed Tom Donvan before. Alas, I never received a response from him. He is just about the most knowledgeable person who knows everything and anything about Glin history. In looking him up on Google, I found this: "Tom Donovan, a man with an unrivaled knowledge of the history of the Glin area - he is chairman of the Glin Historical Society - contributes several articles to the Glencorbry Chronicle." I am very happy for you and very jealous! Congratulations!
