Limerick / Re: Logans in Limerick
« on: Monday 22 December 08 00:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi aghadowey

I got Williams birth from the IGI on the Familysearch.org site, also the marriage for his parents,

I have tried Scotland's people for the Logan family, but found nothing on James or Mary Burns/Byrnes seems they were both alive at the time of Williams marriage in 1855 as it did not state deceased on the marriage certificate, so I would presume that they (James and Mary) were still in Ireland, and also as William did not know how old he was or what month he was born or even a year, i went with a preliminary date of 1839 as stated on the Family search site, though I cannot be certain this would be the same family,

I dont have acess to the 1851 onwards census records, at the moment with the recession here in the States, i have to watch every penny, until things improve a bit, I have to try all the free sites first

I did some time ago download a birth certificate for a James Logan from an irish site born on the 26-03-06 in St Muchins CO Limerick he was the son of a James Logan (Seaman) and Mary Boland I have no Idea if this would be Williams father, I fet like i was flying into blind alleys, there is also a marriage on that site for a James logan and Mary Byrnes, but ic annot remember if the date was the same, I had ran out of credits and promised myself i would go back and download it at a later date, then the recession came

I will check the 1841 census again and see if i can find anything on his parents,

Limerick / Logans in Limerick

Hi Everyone

I am new to this board, and wondered if anyone can put me on the right trail of a James logan and Mary Byrnes/Burns believed to have been married in Limerick Ireland

I have son William Logan marriage Certificate from 1855 in Lossiemouth Scotland to Jane Henderson on the certificate it states, William  states his date of birth is uncertain month of birth uncertain and that he knew he was born in Limerick,
he states his parents were James Logan and Mary Burns

I found one marrige to such a couple on 27 September 1839 Saint Michael, Limerick, and also one such marriage but to a Mary Byrnes, also in Limerick

I found a William Logan born 22 November 1835 Killyleagh, Down, Limerick Ireland but this would have been 4 years before his parents marriage, which I know it quite possible, and that they could have married later,

has anyone researched this family, or is anyone knowledgeable about irish research, and where ic o uld find out about James and Mary and William had any siblings, and what became of them,

I do have williams death from Scotlands people, and all his children, it is his siblings and parents that i really want to find out about,

William is Listed as a seaman on his marriage certificate as is his father james,  which suggests tome that they were not originally from Limerick as i believe Limerick was not a sea port, but i could be totally wrong on that point,

My knowledge of Ireland i am ashamed to say is Zero,

Thanks in advance,
K
