Hi
I hve come unstuck in my family tree search. I am looking for details of James Hagen who married Ann Reid in Taughboyne in February 1866. I have fortunately had someone try to look up some info with no success. I was wondering if anyone out there had these two in their family tree's?
James and Ann moved to Glasgow c1869 and had 11 of a family.
Many Thanks
Laurence

Hello Laurence,
the marriage looks to be on the Family Search pilot site but is showing as 1867.
The references look to match so it does look good and you could then send for the marriage certificate.

IGI lists some of the children, including one born Oct.1867 in Glasgow wich may be reason the year of the marriage was put down as 1866. However, it is a submitted record and would need to be checked against the actual birth certificate to make sure.
There's also an Elizabeth born 1867 in Glasgow listed in IGI and one born 1877 in Pedigree Resource File who died in Scotland but her birthplace is listed as Co. Tyrone. Submitter's details listed.
See www.familysearch.org and do a search on advanced search page wit names of parents only.

sorry - I omitted to say that the cross reference for the marriage is Annie Reed.

Taughboyne Parish, although in County Donegal, is in Londonderry Registration District
You can obtain marriage cert - (James Hagan/Annie Reed married Feb 28 1867) from Registrar of BMD in Letterkenny - this will give their fathers' names

Thanks all for your help. I'm at work at the moment, but will have a look tonight.

Yes that is the Central Registrar of BMD for Ireland though I prefer dealing with Letterkenny; staff there are most helpful.
All queries and payment can be handled over the telephone, while you wait.

Request a photocopy of entry; it is cheaper and is a photocopy of original entry.

I know for definate that there was an Elizabeth born in 1877 as she was my gt grandmother. I have a copy of her birth certificate. I suspect the 1867 one is wrong. I have copy birth certificates of all the siblings (11 in all) as well as the one for Beatrice, a grand daughter. Thanks for the advice aghadowey.

Laurence
