Ireland / Access to Irish Records
« on: Monday 13 August 18 21:07 BST (UK)  »
Evening all...

Long shot but I was wondering if anyone here has access to Irish records online?

My 2x great grandmother was born in Ireland but moved to Wales where she married a fellow Irishman in 1865 in Pontypool.

They had 2 children together by 1871 and I have every census from 1881 for them and their children in Wales but I cannot find a single trace of them in 1871. Having 2 young children and being pregnant i would assume they couldn't have gone far but would they have maybe travelled back to Ireland to visit family?

If there is a 1871 census for ireland, is anyone able to check for me?  It's driving me mad 😵  Her name was Bridget Buckley (nee Shean) and the only birth info i have is 1840 in Waterford according to a later census.

Thank you so much in advance for any replies!

I thought this as I found a William Kirkland in 1871 as an apprentice brick layer in an adjacent county from where he said he was born.  Thought this may have been him as he was working a brick maker when he died.... but the marriage certificate lists him as a farm labourer  ???

It's really starting to pickle my brain now! Lol.

William would've only been 15 for the 1871 census so in all likelyhood still with parents wherever they were.

My only other option is that although Job is a proper name in its own right, it may have been his middle name or an abbreviation for something like Joseph? I am well and truly stumped!

** UPDATE **

I have found the marriage certificate I knew I had.

On it, William lists his father as Job Kirkland  (still alive), a Brick Maker.

And Mary Jane BAKER  (aged 19) lists her father as Joseph Baker, deceased, a Labourer.

Had a look and can't find anything for Joseph so I've ordered what I believe to be Mary's birth certificate. Fingers crossed!!

I've also looked as their oldest daughter Lily was born October 1876 (marriage is  December 1876)....

No I hadn't thought of that, but so simple! My grandfather actually does this!

Will try this now! Thank you!

Possible. Would've made William 2 when he died

Hi all!

Thank you for all your replies! I've managed to trace all the above, everything from his marriage in 1876.

It was the death notice I found that let.me trace them to Bailey Bach cottages in 1881.... surname written as Cattland  on that one!!

But I'm glad you reminded me of that actually so I can go again from that census that he was born in Leicestershire.  There is a death entry for a Job Kirkland in Leicestershire in 1857 so that helps a bit.

Fresh search of Leicestershire again I think!!!!

Hi guys!

Looking for suggestions or help as this one is turning me grey!!

I'm looking to travel back from my 3 x Great Grandfather, William Ambrose. His surname is causing me massive problems! I've grown up with it as Cutlan. My 2 x GGFather was Cutlan. However, on William's marriage in 1876 it's Kirtland. On his death registry it's Cutland.

SO.... Ive done a free BMD search of ALL William Ambrose born between 1850 and 1860. Nothing. Tried again with just William A. Nothing....

I'm going mad 😂

All I have from marriage certificate is his father's name was Job...

Anyone bored and wants a go or anyone got any more suggestions I can try?! Please!
