Lancashire / Marriage look up Wigan
« on: Wednesday 16 November 16 18:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Iam hoping that someone maybe able to look up a marriage record for me from Wigan parish registers.
I have the marriage record which is for a Patrick Duffy and a Mary McMahon took place in 1893 which I got from Lancashire bmd
I assume they were married at a register office because I cannot find a church wedding for them on the Lancashire opc site.
What I want to find out is their parents names before I send for their marriage certificate I hope this information would be on parish marriage records.
Iam hoping someone maybe able to check this out for me please.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Roscommon / Re the name Bridget and Margaret are they interchangable
« on: Thursday 05 December 13 16:53 GMT (UK)  »

Hi
i Have a problem with my great grand mother first name she was born in Ireland in Roscommon about 1845/1850,s. she was Roman Catholic
On her marriage cert to my great grand father Patrick Duffy in 1868 her first name is given as Bridget McKeon. Then on her children's birth cert it gives her first name as Margaret. Also when they immigrated to England in about 1872/1873 on the 1881 census for Bolton in Lancashire her name is also given as Margaret and this goes on through the 1891/1901 census's. I saw a question from a Pam, i know this is going back a bit to March 2005 on this site she also had a the same question as mine can Bridget be interchangeable with Margaret. I did see also when looking for web sites that may give an answer that Bridget was the Irish Gaelic name for Margaret can anyone confirm that.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Lancashire / Schools in the 1880,s Little Bolton
« on: Sunday 13 November 11 16:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Once again thanks to mshrmh for the info on baptism.
I emailed Bolton archives on Monday this week asking if they would do a look up for me to find a baptism at St.Mary of the Assumption Little Bolton for 1873/4 because my grandfather John Duffy who was Roman Catholic, this is before i put a question on Roots Chat. I have just recieved an email back from them today to tell me they have found his baptism record at the above church.This is good news since i have looked for a long time to try and find his birth around Bolton.
What i would like to ask further is what school would he attend in about 1879/80 in this area remebering he was Roman Catholic.
Many thanks once again for any help.
Best regards

Lancashire / Birth place and baptism
« on: Saturday 12 November 11 13:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
After  searching a few years for my greatgrand father,s birth in Lancashire a John Duffy born in 1873/ 1874, found him on the census,s 1881 1891 1901 which said he was born in Bolton Lanc, when i applied for his birth cert at Bolton reg office they could not find him.
When i looked at Lancashire BMD indexes i found a John Duffy born in 1874 it gave the mothers maiden name as MCROWEN his mothers name should be McKeown could it have ben transcribed incorrectly?.Also in the index it gave a sub-district as Oswaldtwistle is this the place he would be born or just the birth reg district, also the registers are held at Preston.
They were catholics and came from Ireland in about 1872/73.
Where would Lancashire BMD  get their info from to create the bmd index?.
Many thanks for any help
John Duffy
