Francis McCarrick (b. <1798>, Sligo) married Mary Ferguson (b.<1808>, Sligo). First child we have is born Ireland <1829>, so marriage by then presumably in Ireland. Family to England and others born there, first birth we have there is 1835.
Any ideas?

Hello Lynne,
There are three items you require when searching for Irish ancestors.
1. Denomination.
2. Parish
3. Townland.
You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

Know any simpler ways to search for Sligo christenings than the hit and miss arrangements of odds on IGI or individual sites?
Thanks anyway, Christopher.

Church records (if they exist for such early dates) might have been microfilmed by LDS. If so, you can order them for a small fee from your local LDS library to view there. You have to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland not just the county).

Thanks to all.

Hi Lynne,
I looked at Irish Ancestors Surname Search to see if the names Ferguson and McCarrick appeared in the same parish at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The answer to that is Yes.
The next step is to have a look at John Hayes failteromhat.com/griffiths.php to see what parish or parishes the names appear. If you are lucky they may also appear in the same townland.

Thanks for searching for me, and for your advice. Sorry took so long to get to it. Life can be hectic, can't it?
Will let you know how I go on.
Best wishes,

Anthony,
I'm assuming that Elizabeth was the daughter of Peter McCarrick and Ellen Mannion who was baptised at St Joseph's, Gateshead in 1881 the year before you state. If this is the correct family, Peter and Ellen married at Newcastle in 1861 just before the Census and were living in with Peter's parents John and Bridget McCarrick when the Census was taken. John and Bridget had a son Thomas born Newcastle 1850 so if you can trace that birth you will find Bridget's maiden name.
The 1881 census indicates that Peter and his wife Ellen plus his widowed mother Bridget were all born Sligo. Elizabeth was born a few months after this census was taken but is included with the same family in 1891.
Good luck,
J.T.A.
