Tyrone / Re: GORML(E)Y // McGONAGLE // BOYLE - Leckpatrick, Strabane, Co. Tyrone
« on: Thursday 11 December 25 12:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
Just an update.
I have been buying BMD certificates and have discovered something curious.
When my Edward GORMLEY (186* - 1930) married his first wife Bridget McGONAGLE (1868 - 1913) in 1903 he appears to have signed the register. His father is listed as Jas GORMEY (decd), who was a labourer. Subsequently when he registers births of his sons, or the death of his uncle James GORMLY in 1911 or that of his wife, Bridget GORMLEY née McGONAGLE who died in 1913 in childbirth he can no longer 'write' and he is registered with his mark.
Edward GORMLEY then a year later marries Jane McLAUGHLIN in 1914 and his father is listed as Edwd GORMLEY (decd). Signs again with his mark.
It is definitely the same man.

I have searched in vain for his birth. Family tales have him born in Scotland but I am not sure of anything now. Really hope @markinson01 still visits this site or if anyone else has any info!

Hello everyone,
I have bought a number of BMD Certificates that are most definitely of persons that are not part of my family.
I am quite willing to send them to persons who believe they are part of theirs.
Is there any way of facilitating this on this site.
There are a few UK ones and one Irish BMD.
Thank you,
Claire

Tyrone / Re: Marriage McGONAGLE / BOYLE about 1855 - 1860
« on: Sunday 09 April 17 12:48 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for your replies and yes I know that the civil records only started in 1864 and that it would be in the church records only, and yes i have considered that they were not married but given the fact that this is mid 1800's i think it very unlikely. I have also done * searches and McGonagle/McGonigle/McGonagall etc. Never tried dropping the Mc - it is worth a try!

Tyrone / Marriage McGONAGLE / BOYLE about 1855 - 1860
« on: Sunday 09 April 17 11:57 BST (UK)  »
Hope someone can help.
I have searched in vain on all the available websites for a marriage between my GG Grandfather William McGONAGLE and his wife Rose BOYLE. I have found numerous children born (and died and married) in the records but my GGrandfather William McGONAGLE's birth has also eluded me. I know these are my GG Grandparents as my Grandparents were first cousins and my Grandmother's mother was a McGONAGLE, whose birth, marriage and death record I have found. Also my Grandfather's eldest brother died in Strabane whilst staying with Rose McGONAGLE (née BOYLE).
There is no marriage recorded in Strabane, Co. Tyrone where they lived and died.
I have searched in Scotland; in England; and even as far a field as America, Canada
, Australia and New Zealand. Nothing.
Any ideas as to where to look or should I just decide to give it a rest?
Thanks,
Claire

Kent / Re: Adolphus Brignall conjuror
« on: Monday 27 February 17 20:44 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for your insights.

The BRIGNALL family that Adolphus hailed from was based in Wittersham, Kent. According to the Census records 1851 there is a farm (which I currently do not have the name for - sorry!)

Anyhow Adolphus BRIGNALL was actually born Adolphus BOURNE(R) and his parents were James BOURNE(R) and Ann BREADS. He had an older brother James. His father died and his mother married John BRIGNALL. She was educated and home schooled her children, as well as any children she had with John BRIGNALL.

It is interesting how you have linked the families, but I am not sure how close the underlying family relationships are. Also I think Adolphus might have been a black sheep as he goes missing for the Census of 1861 (he might have enlisted but I cannot be sure the A BRIGNELL I found is him).

I don't have actual dates in front of me but they are in the earlier posts.

Hope that helps! Claire

I also would have photos and certs I think you might be interested in.
I cannot share my email address with you through rootsweb but I have an ancestry account through which you can private message someone. Are you on ancestry?
You could possibly link through the posted family trees? As I said my info on Sarah is incorrect and I will change it. I apologise for the incorrect info.
Take care, Claire
