My grandfather was married to a Elizabeth Garmany (my grandmother)
I have located a marriage for 1883 in caledon church (county tyrone, northern ireland) but i have no firm confirmation.
Can anyone help me to fill in some details

Hi,
I am not sure what details you are looking for but I have found a marriage of Elizabeth GARMONY to Robert Watson on 14 Nov 1883 in Caledon Presbyterian Church.

Hi,
Should the above marriage be the one you are looking for then Elizabeth Garmony/Garmany seems to have been the daughter of Robert and Jane Garmany of Drumess, Caledon. Robert died in 1900 and his will can be found in PRONI. See http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearch.aspx

Hi
Thank you for that, the latter is the one I was wanting to confirm
I will look in the census to see if it gives me any more info
Thanks again

Hi,
Another snippet of information. The Griffith Valuation Revision Books show that Robert Garmany took over a farm of almost 61 acres from Patrick McKibbin in 1879. I cannot find a family connection.

Hi
I'm not sure on this. Mckibben does not appear in the census but at the moment I will leave this search.
I have only discovered this site yesterday and by chance the search engine churned out details on my fathers side.
Should you wish to follow the history it is posted under Watsons in Kimberley. You will see the coincidence that someone was searching for people on my family tree
Thanks for your help

Geoff,
I made an error and the name should be McKIBBIN.
Also a further snippet which ties in with a name on the transcript of the will; Robert GARMONEY married Jane McKeown in Minterburn Presbyterian Church , Dungannon on 13 May 1859.

I have quite a bit about Elizabeth's mother's very large McKeown family if that's of interest.
