Title: Robert Moffat and Sarah Carton
Post by: JConnolly39 on Wednesday 10 October 18 12:24 BST (UK)
I am looking for ancestors of Robert Moffat and Sarah Carton (1856-1941). They lived on Craigmore, Ringsend and are in the 1901 and 1911 census. I am a descendant of their daughter Mary Jane Moffat b 1 Nov 1880 and Albert McLeod (Garvagh) b. 24 Dec 1898.
Roberts father was Thomas, a labourer, according to marriage record of Robert and Sarah, m 29 Jun 1877. I have found a few possible siblings for Robert, some marriage records say son of labourer,  some say son of blacksmith.  Sarah's father was John and mother Mary, not sure of Mary's last name. Thanks in advance.

By cross referencing the index, it looks to be John Cartin (sic) and Mary McConaghy, on 10th May 1852.

I have also found, Mary McCloskey and Mary McBride marrying a John Carton, doesn't make things easy.

Hi Janice,

If you send me a personal message I can provide you with quite a lot of detail - I am from the same "clan".
