Leitrim / Re: Armstrong-Blair Marriage circa 1841

Hi North Gower,

Your information is very interesting. Your Armstrongs seem different to mine. As far as I know there were 2 families of Armstrongs in Dromahair, although I'm sure they would be linked if we looked back far enough, Dromahair being such a small place. Some names also seem common to both, e.g. Isabella, Robert. I haven't yet been able to look at the Church of Ireland records, but will get on the case again over the Christmas holidays. I'll dig about for anything I can find on Armstrongs and let you know what I find. Are you on Ancestry.com? All my information is on there, under the username bermc.

The census for 1901 shows 2 Thomas Dorans aged 17, one in Milemill and one in Grangemore. As these places are only yards apart, and having some knowledge of the area, I think it is quite likely that these were cousins. Tracing one family might have the effect of tracing both.

Sligo / Re: Colleary of Sligo

I found a Michael Colleary, of Ranaghan, Co. Sligo married to Margaret Fahy of Thornhill, Co. Sligo on 20 Feb. 1860 (incidentally 100 years to the day before my parents were married!) in the parish of Ballysadare & Kilvarnet. Groom's father was Daniel Colleary, mother Margaret Connell. Bride's father was Patrick Fahy, mother Brigid Kane. Both Ranaghan and Thornhill are near Ballinacarrow, Co. Sligo.

Hi Eric,

Glad to be of assistance.  :)
You might also be interested to know that there are still O'Briens in the Halverstown area. Maybe they're related?

Good Luck with your searching.

Galway / Re: what about stil births

Registration of stillbirths only commenced in Ireland in 1995. As the Catholic Church did, and does, not baptise stillborn children, you probably won't be able to find any record of this poor child's existence. Sorry.

Hi Pilgrim,

I may be able to help you here. I am living in Dromahair. My husband is the great grandson of William Armstrong, born 1848.  I have loads of information which I have dug out about the Armstrongs, including some sousins in America which I turned up last year. I'm in the process of trying to get to view the old Church of Ireland records here, if I can get get the current custodian to grant me access. I'd be happy to share what I already have.
