Hi Bev, thank you for the offer of a look up at Emerald Ancestors. Could you look up a marriage for John James Molloy please. If you put his full name in its the only one that came up. He married Ann Maud ???. Im hoping it has his parents name on it so I know if its the one I want. Thank you, from Janet in Australia. _________________________________________________________________ What are you waiting for?

Dear Bev, Could you please check on anything on a Francis DUGAN/DUGGAN b 1827-1831 in Co. Down? He married a Catharine Gribbon ca 1855, but I think this took place after he immigrated to Phila. PA. Thank you so very much. Marilyn

Looking for information on Margaret McCoubrey and Samuel Douglas in the townlands of Ballyhay, Ballyfotherly, Loughinisland and Magheradrool (or others?) from 1770 to 1820.

Thank you Lorie. Would you be able to tell me what details are given on Emerald Ancestors for a death?

Bev, I am willing to wait at the end of the line. My great grandfather, Philip Marmen Phillips, I believe was born in 1832 aomewhere around Newry. I think he married Mary Ann Chapman in 1855. I think Philip's father was William, curious if his mother was a Marmen or Marmion. Mary Ann's father was John Chapman. This may be a stretch, but anything you can find out would be greatly appreciated.

Not on Emerald Ancestors as their information is from the civil records most of it starts from around 1864 -----Original Message----- From: nir-down-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nir-down-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sandy Money Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 3:18 AM To: nir-down@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] Emerald Ancestor lookup Is there much information for before 1844?

Hi everyone, I have uploaded 1901 Census transcriptions for the townlands of Guineways, Guineways Upper, Lisnacree & Lisnacree Upper on to my website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~meaneypj/index.htm Please go to the latest updates link on my home page. The search engine will not pick these up until tonight. Regards Pete. mailto:Peterjmeaney@ntlworld.com

Roy, A quick glance at ulsterancestry tells me that it costs more for their certificates than it does at the official records office... £20 is a bit steep surely! Having said that.... on the plus side, the free pages at ulsterancestry are great! claire www.claires-rosleaancestry.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: nir-down-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nir-down-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Roy Keys Sent: 16 November 2007 22:05 To: nir-down@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] Emerald Ancestor Thanks, how does it compare to http://www.ulsterancestry.com/?

Definitely will be worth it for me. I have a list as long as my arm. I could easily do some 24 hour stints at the weekends! However, I am still looking for my Grandfather, Mark McConville, who doesn't appear on the site, and even though I know he existed, even have photos of him and he appears on my father's birth certificate as well as having loads of information on the family, I don't know enough to pin down a certificate to send off for. So, if anyone ever does come across any Mark McConville b. in or after 1884, in the Ballynagarrick (Tullylish Parish) area, I'll be happy as a pig in mud!

I think I am going to have to subscribe to this Emerald Ancestors site. I keep seeing names in there that are in the probably my family category so I think I may take the plunge. Just need to decide which subscription to go for, a busy month or a more laid back 6 months.

I am wondering what information there is given on this site for marriages. Would a lookup for a marriage only show the surname of the other party or would it also show where they were married.? I am trying to locate a possible marriage of a Sarah Jane Armstrong c 1880's and found one mentioned with partner Henry? Thanks for any help you can give. Judith

Thanks, how does it compare to http://www.ulsterancestry.com/?

Wow that was fast! Thank you very much Lorie. Now I need to get out my trusty-rusty atlas, and see where these places are, and try to search parish registers there. This is a big start.
