Pat~       I know there are a few Irish Catholic sacramental records with the SLC records but not sure of which county and townland.  Anyway, the surname SINNOTT with variations of spelling is a strong County Wexford name.  If there are Wexford records available, check them out.        As you may or may not know, Irish Civil records for Catholics start in 1864.  Birth had a fine if not registered.  Marriages and deaths did not; therefore, in the early years of Irish Civil registration records may be sketchy.  However, eventually there was a fine for unreported deaths.   Irish Civil Records are available with the SLC or at least indexes because they are on line at the LDS Beta site.       Since MD Civil records only started in 1898, you might see if there are any sacramental records for MD or WV available.   Mary Ellen Chambers Lakewood, OH --- On Sun, 8/8/10, patrobison@aol.com <patrobison@aol.com> wrote: From: patrobison@aol.com <patrobison@aol.com> Subject: [MDALLEGA] Robison To: MDALLEGA@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, August 8, 2010, 4:01 PM Is there anyone out there researching this family?   I am in SLC doing genealogy research, but after a week and a half I am still at wits end.  It does not look like they owned any land or paid any taxes.  I have searched both WV and MD with no luck. I am looking for maybe a first wife of Solomon, a mother of a Joshua Robinson along with many other children - Samuel, Elizabeth, Rhoda, etc.  And possibly a second wife to a Mary A M Sinnott. Solomon was born about 1810.  Don't know where - Ireland, MD, VA.  They seemed to be big time Catholics.  Children starting with Elizabeth abt 1833, my great grandfather, Joshua in 1846 all the way to a Susan in 1850.  It appears that this family is on the 1850 & 1860 census in of Hampshire Co.  I can not locate them before 1850 or after 1860.  They possibly died but can not locate a death record in either WV or MD.
