Family History Beginners Board / Fermanagh connection
« on: Sunday 08 April 18 18:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I'm tracing my family tree and I've come to a stop. My great great grandfather Michael Moane married my great great grandmother Margaret Dugan in 1884 in Belfast. On their wedding certificate it states that my great great great grandfather was Bernard Moane and was a farmer and my great great grandfather, Michael Moane - on the marriage certificate - was a soldier and at the time of his marriage his address was 'Military Barrack' and he was born in Fermanagh. I can't find any details of Michael Moane's regiment or when he joined or left the army. Also, there are so many Moanes in Fermanagh that I can't trace Bernard Moane and where he lived and who he married etc. My great great grandmother Margaret Dugan was from the New Lodge and I believe that the Royal Irish Rifles were billeted in Victoria Barracks in 1884 so its likely Michael was based there. They lived in Cleery Street in the Docks area. Can anyone help with the military information and the Fermanagh connection.

Antrim / finding family birth certificate
« on: Thursday 05 April 18 22:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello
Looking for Joseph McVeigh's birth certificate - he is mentioned in 1901 census at 30 year old head of household in Marchioness Street, off Falls Road Belfast with his wife Catherine. They were married - I think - in 1890 (27th December) in St Peter's. His dad is Robert, carpenter. Also, his wife Catherine in the 1901 census is said to come from Scotland - how would I go about getting her birth certificate?

Census and Resource Discussion / Family Research is an expensive business

I'm quite new to the family tree research but is anyone else finding that getting to look at birth certificates, death and marriage certificates on GRONI becomes quite expensive after a while?

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Tracing McGreevy (Sometimes spelled McGreevey)Family in Belfast

This is so interesting and ties in with what I have discovered. I didn't know the maiden name of my great, great, great grandmother Sarah and that Richard is in Greencastle cemetery with her. The incident you refer to is also reported in the Belfast Newsletter under deaths but looked it up on Ancestry.com and couldn't make out the details.

Hello
Just spent the weekend on ancestry.co.uk and GRONI and I feel that I have traced my family on my dad's maternal side back to Richard McGreevy born in 1817- d. 1900. He is noted as father of the groom on my great great grandfather John McGreevy's marriage certificate. John Mc Greevy married Margaret Brunton on 29th November, 1873 in Belfast and was married from 22 Pilot Street. John Mc Greevy's  occupation is noted as 'sailor' and Richard McGreevy is noted as 'sea captain' on the certificate. If this is correct, it would mean that Richard McGreevy is my great, great, great grandfather. Like you I have come to a stop because I would love to find his marriage and birth certificate. Would also love it if you would share anything you find and will too.
