Taggart Brothers? arrived in east jarrow/South Shields early 1900s from Tyrone. Any ideas where in Tyrone.
Strong Catholics used St Peter and Pauls in Tyne Dock.

Hello and a warm welcome to Rootschat! Have you found these Taggarts in the 1901 (if applicable) and 1911 censuses? Perhaps an overzealous census enumerator OR the Taggarts themselves listed their home parish and/or county in Ireland. Also, many Irish had their home parish and/or county listed on their tombstones (monuments).....And, finally, any of the church records in England MAY list their home parish in Ireland. I hope this may help. Pat

The latest census just says "County Tyrone, Ireland".
Not much help, eh?! ;D
-
you don't give any names but this site has some taggarts when searching by surname..

Marriage certificates should have their parents names/addresses.
When you say early 1900's, could they have still been in Ireland in 1901?
If they were, you can check the 1901 Irish census for them. (It's free) http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

Marriage certificates should have their parents names/addresses.
English marriage certificates only state father's names & occupations, and address of both bride & groom at the time of marriage - although this might just state "of this parish".
As I know from my own 2 marriages( ;D) the address stated is only the qualifying residential address.
First time around I "moved in" with my future wife's family, in order to save the costs of applying for a licence in another county.
Second time around, I "moved in" with my married daughter for the relevant 7 nights. Although British, I work in the Netherlands, but still had to provide an address in the UK!
I did check the Ireland 1901 census, but results were inconclusive?

The Names I'm looking to connect are John (1879), Michael (1884) and Peter (1885). John I am certain about as he is my Grandfather. His Father was Michael who was a Farmer. (From Marriage certificate) but no Fathers address. I understand that the Catholic Church Records from 1907 are unlikely to give any more detail ??

What year John marry and did the certificate say if father was deceased?

Hi,
John married in April 1907. His fathers name was Michael and not shown as deceased. I can't tell if he was there or not.

Irish World Heritage Centre, Co Tyrone at RooteIreland.ie has the following children of Michael and Eliza Taggart all registered in the Registration District of Omagh.
John Taggart 1869
Lizzie Taggart 1874
Margaret Taggart 1876
John Taggart 1878
Hugh Taggart 1880
Michael Taggart 1882
There is no Peter but they might not have them all. This is almost certainly all one family and if so the first John must have died. I think John born 1878 is probably your man and you can order a transcript of the certificate online for 5 euro or all six records for 20 euro and get instant copies for you to download.
Good luck,
J.T.A.

I have Taggarts also from Tyrone who came to Durham but don't seem to be related and mine were Church of England. Try a few spellings when searching, it took me ages and I had Taghit, Taygart and Tegart bring up some things, Tegart brought up an Irish marriage certificate.
There was a John Taggart born to a Michael Taggart and Eliza (nee Boyle) in Gortinagin, Tyrone baptised on the 6th April 1878...
Hope you find them,
Dan
