 ;D would hate to cone across as stupid , thank goodness I did think to go and check the records . But all adds to the fun of searching for the information . Great that there are groups like this where you can ask and where people are willing to help others with not as much experience x

Hi thanks for the reply. I’d realised that Murt and ‘Michael’ were one and the same . Finding a transcript is obviously easier than scrolling through records when you’re not sure of dates etc , I could see looking at the original how this had been transcribed though but then that sets you off down a rabbit hole . Thanks for looking . The info just linked our families to the same man but with the respective wives .

Hi , I’ve got a Winifred Waters by marriage to a Michael Waters living in Ballinakill in the 1780s , I’m sure they must be ancestors or your Winifred , you’d assume became a passed on family name x

Feno …. Just found the marriage of Mary Leonard , as above  25.01.1836 , listed as marrying Michael on Roots Ireland , but the same marriage on Family Search as being Murt , so that’s our confusion. Still doesn’t answer whether the Murts are both the same man and that he married twice but makes some sense. I’m going to try and find out now if Mary Ann Bergin  ( Fennelly) died prior to this marriage, which would make two marriages more feasible.

I think Feno is local to the area but I live in Yorkshire UK but visited last summer, we visited the graveyard at Aghaboe and stayed in Ballacolla. My Grandma used to always say if ever we drove up and down an incline….. ‘ up the hill and down the holla, that’s the way to Ballacolla ‘ 😆x

That’s the information that I’d found , that I could find my GGG grandad being Murty marrying Mary Bergin and not going on to marry a Mary Leonard , but i’d seen this posted on so many peoples family trees. I’d found a Michael Fennelly marrying a Mary Leonard , you’ve now also found this . I sent you a message to share the info I had cos I’m not sure how to post on here. I wonder if Murtha and Michael were siblings meaning that Ben and Bridget were still both our ancestors. Obviously Murtha the name still features in your tree as one of Mary and Micheal children , I do hope there’s still a link between us.
