Family History Beginners Board / REQUESTING ASSISTANCE---PLEASE!
« on: Sunday 20 February 05 21:45 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone advise me of possible next steps to locate information on my paternal grandparents, Patrick O’Connor (or Connor) and Catherine Mager (or perhaps Maher) both born in Ireland.  Patrick was born in about 1839 and died in Hartlepool, County Durham in 1914.  He and his family lived in Darlington during the 1871-91 census, and, since his first child, Alice, was born there in 1859, the family was likely there as well for the 1861 census.  Beyond that, I do not have as specific date and place of birth in Ireland for both Patrick and Catherine.  Neither am I certain as to her maiden name, nor their date and place of marriage.  Could someone advise me as to how I might proceed?  Thank you.???

Family History Beginners Board / Where do I go from here?

I am a novice at genealogy and need help in finding information about my ancestors.  My paternal grandparents Patrick O'Connor (or Connor) and Catherine (Mager or perhaps Maher) were both born in Ireland.   Patrick was in Darlington at the time of 1871-1891 censuses.  Since his first child, Alice, was born in about 1859 in Darlington, I assume the family was also in Darlington for the 1861 census as well.  My further assumption is that he was married in the 1855-9 timeframe.  However, I do not have a specific marriage date or place.  Neither do I know his specific date and place of birth in Ireland,  Nor do I have certain knowledge of his wife, Catherine's maiden name or her specific date and place of birth in Ireland.  I seem to be at a dead end and would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you. ???
