Antrim / Re: Co Antrim Northern Ireland
« on: Thursday 05 March 26 22:14 GMT (UK) »
You need to give us a bit more information. The 1901 census of Co Antrim has nearly 3000 people named Moore. Give us details of what you know about yours, full names, who died they marry, when did they die, approximate years of brith, religious denominations etc. That may make the task a bit easier.

Today the applicant would need to produce their birth certificate, their parents marriage certificate and the birth certificate of a UK born parent. But in 1927 the information might have been taken on trust. I read somewhere that it only became mandatory to produce a birth certiifcate in 1948 (to get a British passport) so perhaps the paperwork was less stringent in the 1920s.

Kilkenny / Re: Marriage details wilson and Copley moneenroe

According to my guide to Church of Ireland records, Castlecomer has baptism, marriage & burial records from 1799 onwards. Originals are in the RCB library in Dublin. Some years are on the rootsireland site (it doesn’t say which years).
So for a thorough check you would need to get someone to go to the RCB library and look the records up. Bear in mind that tradition was to marry in the bride’s parish, after which she’d normally attend her husband’s (assuming it was different) so if she came from a different parish she may not have married in Castlecomer. But their children would be baptised there.

What denomination?
If RC, John Grenham’s website indicates that Moneenroe is in the RC parish of Castlecomer. Baptism records there start in 1812 (with some gaps) but marriages don’t start till 1830, so if that’s where your couple married in an RC ceremony, there are no marriage records to find. But if another denomination I'll search again.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Annie Winsor Smith
« on: Sunday 15 February 26 08:03 GMT (UK) »1911 census Vale, Guernsey, Channel Islands
D le Cheminant 55 Stone Dresser (I believe his name was Daniel, not David)
Father's name definitely David on the marriage cert. Could be a mistake of course.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Janet and Ivy BROWN (or THOMPSON) leaving the UK for N. America? 1890s
« on: Sunday 08 February 26 00:33 GMT (UK) »So what happened at Ellis Island, or was it just a port rather than a vetting place in those days?
At Ellis Island you could get a medical and you were checked to see if you were destitute or undesirable but that was about it. You could be refused entry for the above reasons but at that point you didn’t need formal identification. Nor identity documents, a work permit or anything like that. That all came later, mainly triggered by WW1.
