Marypat I hope you dont mind my asking you for help i am trying to locate information on John Thornton he married Catherine Honor mcHale 1887 in Knockmore John,s Father was Patrick on the marriage certificate it does not state mother .John did live in Foxford i would dearly love to find any information on these families,Ps Catherine was born around 1852 and John 1846? Many thanks jean Hi Jean, Birth listings start in 1867 on these cd's .. The earlier listings might show on the films from the FHC .. ..The marriage doesn't show up either .. Do know that Mc Hales were in abundance in the Turlough areas, Lack and Castlebar, My mother's godmother was a Mary Mc Hale .. She was born 1900 .. Sorry I couldn't be of more help ..
