Sligo / Re: Martin surname in Sligo
« on: Wednesday 17 October 12 14:57 BST (UK) »
My family only appear in the records in Dublin after 1852
No sign of Charlotte until her marriage in 1864.
No sign of a marriage for the parents or her birth.
There is a John Joseph 1852 and a Thomas in the Dublin records that could fit but no way to confirm this.
I had given up hope until I came across the UK 1871 census for a John Martin born Sligo a tailor.
I have my John marrying in Liverpool in 1875.
He too was a tailor so I am running with the chance that the family move to Dublin from Sligo and settled in Grattan Ct.
Then he moved to Liverpool sometime before 1875.
I can recall a possible record for a marriage in Elphin in 1826 for a John Martin to a Margaret Healy .
I can also recall visiting when I was a child family" friends" in Galway city in the 1960 who were Healy.
Now I am wondering if there is a family connection here too.
Don't have a copy of the ref as I think I dismissed it at the time.
I know its a wild card but I have just had another brick wall of 4 years SMASHED with the help of the forum family.
Thanks
