hi,
thanks for the reply,
the marriage of john mcgrail and mary catherine coughlin happened in liverpool so it gives addresses as john: 4 galton street, liverpool and mary lived at 36 gibraltar row, liverpool.
no mention of ireland at all.

and as for being from westport well to be honest i cannot be 100% about that anymore otherwise im sure my james would of cropped up by now....i have nothing solid to back it up!! YET...

the marriage of john and mary took place at st marys church liverpool on 22/01/1889 john stated the age 27 so that would of made james 13 when he was a father!!!

so back to the searching i go.....

Hi pat,

many thanks marriage certificate has been bought and paid for just awaiting delivery hopefully it should arrive within the nxt week or so this is very interesting i had actually seen and saved  the page stating the birth of a john ralph to the parents you stated also on the top of the page states
Westport Parish Births, some marriages listed. 1862 to 1879

     If a Street is listed i. e. Bridge St the location is Westport...

uncanny that you should then tell me about this....
i shall pm Molly Malone 1st and take it from there. I will pm you when i recieve the certificates to keep you updated
again many thanks for your help it has been invaluable to my search and has helped me  immensly on the way.
until we speak again
kind regards

stacey

thanks owenwee

very frustrating for me!!! especially as iv been informed today all is not what it seems.........but that doesnt suprise me as iv had a lot of suprises about my grandad things no one knew!!! lets just say he was an extremly private man as he never told his children about what iv found out about his life but maybe thats because he didnt want any pity??

watch this space as hopefully will be updated on wednesday.......
intruiged?? yeah so am i.......
