Welcome to Rootschat I've editied the first section of your post by capitalising the names to make it easier to read and removed excess empty lines at the bottom.
Are Thornaby and Lackenby somewhere in England?
Do you have the marriage certificate of James and Bridget?
-
Thornaby and Lackenby are in Cleveland in the north east of england.
I have the wedding certificate of James and Bridget. I'm trying to find the birth place and
family of my great grand father in Ireland. From the wedding certificate I know his fathers name is Charles and his occupation is a farmer. From census records I found that James had a brother Arthur.
-
What's listed as James' residence on the marriage certificate. To find church records (if they exist) you'll need a location in Ireland.
-
James and Bridget(Devlin) were married 2.10.1873 at the roman catholic chapel of Dunamore in the district of Pomeroy, Cookstown, Co Tyrone.
James occupation is a farmer. His residence is Tullyreavey.
Bridget's residence is Keenaghan.
Both are listed as " Full age".
Witnesses to the marriage were Henry Lennon and Sarah Hadden.

There's lots of information in the Resource threads at the top of this forum and here's a link posted there for R.C. records- think it might be listed as Donaghmore. If so, the records look quite promising. Not sure where you are but since PRONI's closed until April the microfilm copies of church records are at Creggagh Library (see www.proni.gov.uk), National Library in Dublin looks to have a copy and also LDS Library (check with your local branch for ordering).

No need to start another topic looking for the same information so I've merged your latest post with the existing thread.
There's an Arthur O'Neill in Pomeroy at the time of the 1901 census-born c1833 so possible old enough to be your James' father Arthur- Ellen might be 2nd wife?

hello mick123

The more i look at your listing the more i cant believe it, i have been doing my family tree for years but only started on the o'neills about 3 years ago and what i problem i had tracking them, i have only just received the same marriage certificate as you this morning and my log in name on rootschat is sharon123, i find that all very strange.
my father in law is now 73 and i am trying to find things out for him as he has never known anything about the o'neills, his father was killed when he was very young so i suppose you lose all the old stories you would have been told by your parents, it would be nice to swop information and also for you to talk to my father in law as he would be so pleased to find that he has some family out there.

No need to start a new topic- see www.thecore.com/seanruad to find townlands in Oreland. Pomeroy is in Desertcreat civil parish and there's a Tullyreavy in the same parish but difficult to be sure without seeing the record.
You are allowed to post a small portion for deciphering purposes (not the whole certificate).

hi mick
thank you for all that information, my line comes down from james who married mary ann finn, they also had a son john born in 1915 and died in the war in the merchant navy, he had 3 sons and one of the sons john is my father in law. i bet mary has been a bit of a help to you, i have found it hard as he knew nothing about his family andi had to work totally blind, he didnt know his grandparents at all only his mothers side who was isabella mccluskey.
have had a bit of luck since i got the marriage certificate from ireland, have found that james father arthur married a second time and had a whole new family and that james mother was alice stuart, he is on the 1911 census in ireland and also bridgets father charles is on the 1901 census in ireland aged 80 living with his son john and his family. are you on Genes Reunited as i have all my tree on there, if you give me your email address it will be easier to correspond.
