Hi, I'm looking for Thomas McGoldrick born abt 1882 in Co. Fermanagh. Thomas married Mary Donegan 14 nov 1904 in Derrylin RC Church, Lisnaskea and according to the marriage cert his father was John McGoldrick. Has anyone come across a Thomas McGoldrick that could help me get further back? Many thanks.

Around 2 years ago I tried to find Thomas’s grave and had no luck, even after emailing the parish offices, they had no record of his grave - the only Thomas McGoldrick was from Doon which I knew wasn’t him. My grandfather mentioned that he was buried in an unmarked grave and his wife Mary was buried in a different grave in Maguiresbridge. Then last year I decided to have another look for his grave and now he had a headstone (which looked very new), he’s buried in Derrylin with baby daughter Ellen and the Donegan family. I’m unsure who added the headstone or why he originally did not have one.

I find the writing hard to read a lot of the time, but I did go down through it and didn't really see anything

He was married in 1889, i have the cert for that (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1889/10735/5914230.pdf) but it's his birth i'm struggling with. He was born before 1865 so registering births wasn't compulsory yet. Also have no idea on what month so looking through that register would take ages, last resort i'll read through it but i'm checking first to see if anyone has any ideas of where to look.

Wondering if anyone could help me on a part of my family tree. We're having trouble finding a birthdate for my gg grandfather William Ingram (1857-1839). He's in the 1901 and 1911 census so that's how we've gotten his (rough) birth year but he doesn't seem to have any sort of birth records. We also can't find out who his parents are, we know his father is William because he's listed on his wedding cert but can't find out who his mother is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need the links to any of the records or need more family info just ask me!

Wow, Thank you! That information really is amazing. Mary ann carol (her name was actually carolan - the spelling doesn't really matter though) is my great great grandmother and we've been trying to find more information about her. What is the website you got this information off and especially the time!
