Hello isy,

I just wondered how you know that Emily Hurry's maiden name was Wright?  Do you have children's birth certificates showing this?  It's just that I have been looking for a marriage for Emily and (James) Robert Hurry and nothing is showing up.  I found all their children's births so I wondered if you had one of the certificates showing mother's maiden name to be Wright. 

Best wishes

That is terrific news and I'm sure many people will benefit by this decision and be able to move their research on, chipping away at those brickwalls. ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Leofric for taking the initiative on this one.

Thanks for the info.  I wanted to find out the actual birth of Robert Clinton born 1796 in Ireland (county unknown) and who his parents were.  Also, wanted to find a marriage for Robert Clinton and his wife Margaret (surname unknown). I'm assuming they married before 1811 which is when their first child was born.


Hi, I checked those names out on Ancestry UK and nothing obviously relating to Ireland comes up.

I will keep a look out for you on my visits to Irish sites. As the previous poster moscan stated - it will not be easy with just a name, but two pairs of eyes are better than one!

By the way, the results of my own searches came back this afternoon and they were both complete as promised. They included the applicant's current townland, parish and barony, both parents names including mother's maiden name and one of them lists all the brothers and sisters of the applicant and their reported ages on both the 1841 and 1851 census. 

I would recommend this service to others and would welcome the information available being extended to the other counties of Ireland.

Hi aghadowey,

The site states that Ireland's Old Age Pension Act was introduced in 1908.  So firstly, your relative would have to still be alive at that time and 'old' enough to make a claim.  Then you would search on his name in the town he was living when he made his claim.  So looking at the results for that name I would be very tempted at £1 a go, to order the details for No 17415 in Antrim.

No - unfortunately they do not have BMDs for Ireland on Ancestry.  They have Parish and Probate records for England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland 1500s-1800s but you can bet the lion's share is not Ireland. When you try to search, the only Irish counties available are Antrim, Down and Louth. 

If you would like something looking up on that database, post it here and I will check it for you!

Thank you Creaney! 

I just had a look and ordered the records of two of my relatives - they verify the pensioner's age by referring to the 1841 and 1851 Irish census (claims made in 1908 - before the census details were destroyed in the great fire of 1922).  It only cost £1 per record.  I'll report back when I have received the results.

Best wishes
