Any idea of date/ages? Some, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882 are in IGI (www.familysearch.org).

Thanks for your interest. As far as I know Harry was born in 1866 and Charles was born in 1870. John and Paddy were older the latter about 1860 .the girls Maryaccording to census was 36 i 1901 and Annie was 26. Paddy was the only boy to marry and I wondred what happened the girls. Their mother Sarah died in 1895. thanks again

2. Anne born 4 JUne 1869 Co.Donegal (Annie?)
3. Charles born 17 Dec.1870 Co.Donegal

Thanks for those birth records. They tie in with what I already know. John and Paddy also Mary were born before the records began. How could I find out if Mary or Annie ever married? Thanks again

IGI (www.familysearch.org) have some, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882 but unfortunately not many marriages or deaths are included.
1911 census is graadually being put online on National Archives, Dublin website but not sure when Donegal will be added.

Ihave since found out that Annie married a man named McCormack and lived in Londonderry and had a son John and daughter Kathleen. Where could I look up their birth certificates etc. Thank you again aghadoey.

Can't find marriage for Ann/Anne/Annie Diver to McCormack.
To order birth marriage certificates you need to have an idea of birthdate marriage date.

I have a birth certificate for Annie . It is a marriage certificate i would like to track down Thanks again Aghadowey

Sorry Ursula, have corrected the mistakes in my earlier message.

I think we may be double cousins. I noticed your posts regarding children of Daniel Cassidy and Susan Langan. They were my great, great great grandparents. Their daughter, Annie, married Joe Doherty, son of James and Mary Martin Doherty, of Drumrooskie, Donegal Town. Joe was a brother of Isabella Boyle and Susannah.
I have been doing extensive research on the Joe Doherty line and have a fairly complete PDF file of the Doherty/Cassidy/Langan family -- including Isabella's siblings James and John (both who immigrated to New Mexico).
Can you tell me how you are related? Do you have a tree for Isabella or Susannah? I have lost contact with all Irish cousins except a grandaughter of Lizzy (nee Doherty) Diver.
P.S. I am heading to the family ranch this week where my grandfather has just uncovered the marriage certificates for Annie and Joe.

Shane,
I am very grateful for your info. re John Diver and his sons John and Harry, who were skilled carpenters and coachbuilders in Stranolar. Another brother Charles was also in the business and a 4th son Patrick was a contractor and builder in Donegal Town. Thanks again ,they are the family I am interested in.
I dont know about the Elizabeth who was a milliner. Would anybody have a picture of one of the coaches as I understand they left them on display outside their house while awaiting their collection by the local gentry.
