However, I did find a birth for Isabella Ann Shortt born 9 Oct 1870 in the Civil Registrations CD from the Latter Day Saints, you could also try their free website at www.familysearch.org The births of Thomas Short 1814, Thomas 1826, Mary 1826 Michael 1886. These records are at the family history center in Mayo. I found no marriage for Isabella Nash to Henry Middleton Short, but did find two death records: Henry M. Short Rn. d 1844 Co. Mayo and Isabella Short d 1873, Co. Mayo, these are available for a fee on-line if you wish to contact me I will give you the website which I cannot do on rootsweb message board due to their policies. Knowing the years you maybe able get them at the General Registry Office in Dublin, but I believe there is a fee also. codeannette@yahoo.ca Annette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
