Hello. I was hoping someone could help as I have come to an end in all my searches. I am looking for the parents of a James Coyne who was born around 1805 in Iteland but I don't know where. He was born in Ireland according to the 1851 census in Birmingham and I have a marriage to Hannah Gray in 1837 in March Cambridgeshire. I can trace the family to the present day from there but can not get backwards any further. I would like to know where in Ireland he came from and any other information and was hoping that someone may have come across this family in there own research. Fingers crossed I know it's a long shot as I don't know his parents or when he came to England but any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you
-
Do you know when the 1837 marriage was (date?) If Sep quarter or later you could get the certificate and hopefully find the name of his father.
-
Ah you are in luck!
Dec 1837
North Witchford 14 219
Coyne James
Gray Hannah
-
There's a family tree with his parents as William Coyne and Mary Ann Knox but I can't view more details.
-
In 1841 - transcribed as Rayne - there is a Bridget Coyne age 25 also from Ireland.
She might be a sister or some other relative to James.
-
Possible marriage in 1841 North Witchford
Coyne Bridget but there are 4 grooms to choose from!
Carby John
Foreman Jonathan
Staples Luke
White John
I would swing towards the top one first.
If we could trace her on later census she might give a birthplace in Ireland.
-
Thank you. I will try to trace James via the Bridget coyne route on the census and keep my fingers crossed. The family tree with william as father mary as mother sounds very hopeful. Shame more details couldn't be seen but thank you so much for the leads
-
Marriage details have been confirmed as Oct 1837 James Coyne and Hannah Gray both full age and residence given as March. William confirmed as James' fastner and occupation is given as Farmer. Is there anyway of finding out more about William Coyne?
-
possible

I'm looking for the parents of my 4th great grandmother Catherine Coyne, who married George Aldridge and had a family in Athy, County Kildare, Ireland between about 1803-1809
-
Have you looked at the Athy parish register, assuming they were RC.
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0459
If she married just before 1803 than her baptism won’t have been recorded, or is 1803 to 1809 when she was born?
-
Thank you for the response.
Those are the years I am confident she and George had children so they would have been married before 1803.
Thank you for the link. A lot of my ancestors were from Athy so hopefully I can find something of use.
-
Could you please give the date of death for both Catherine and George. Do you have the names of any of the children.
Did Catherine and George remain in Co Kildare?
What other spellings have you found for Coyne and Aldridge? Could you please list.
-
I don't have any of that information, I'm sorry :(
Their first child was actually born 1796. I learned of her from this website

You need to check yourself if the information on that site is correct, I just looked at the two Margaret's and Richard's death.
The Margaret baptism's are correct
1806 https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633302#page/54/mode/1up right hand page
1809 https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633303#page/9/mode/1up left hand page
1873 death of Richard gives his age as 60
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1873/020697/7261638.pdf (you need to sign in and prove your not a robot) which if the age is correct would give him a later birth year, death ages are often incorrect. The quality of the image is terrible, not sure who the informant was.
Lot more checks needed on the information from that site.

Taking a guess...the informant... Thomas Aldridge
-
Thomas was Richard's son, so yeah that makes sense

The site was made and is run by a relation of my grandmother. He's been working on it for years. She's told me that he's travelled around researching his family tree and has reached out to relations around the world. He talked with her to ask about her side of the family. So I think some of the information he's put in the tree has been from family knowledge as well as from old letters and things. Not everything on that site can be checked.
I understand that it's important not to take everything at face value. As you said, even the records have misinformation. To be honest I don't trust anything in my family tree haha
