Hi I was wondering if anyone could help with my family tree which may join on somewhere with your own.

My name is Derek Connolly
My Father is * Connolly
My grand father is * Connolly
My Great Grandfather was Patrick Connolly
My GG Grandfather is James Connolly MY GGGran was Margaret holt they married 30/10/1874 and where from
County Monaghan (aghabog as far as I can make out).  Patrick was 1 of 11 kids 2 died in WW1 I think Patrick was the 4th born.  James was born 1851 ireland but margaret was born 1858 in glasgow.  I think the families might have known each other because Margarets parents where William Holt born County Monaghan & Agnes Ramsay born County donegal.

I am looking for any info to fill in the blanks like where the family lived if it was aghabog or elsewhere and also when the families came over siblings etc...any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Derek

Thanks for the picture Dave that could well be him...might be worth arranging a trip to see if I can locate the stone myself and have a closer look 

Cheers

possible marriage for William and Mary Anne in Monaghan Registration district, which is immediately north of the Cootehill district where they are living in 1901 and 1911

  Name: William Lee
  Registration district:   Monaghan
  Event type: Marriage
  Quarter and year: Jan - Mar 1895
  Volume:   3 / Page: 239

A Mary Anne Conlon appears with the same references.

for notes on ordering a research marriage cert, and the details they contain see :
     Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
     Details included on a Marriage Cert

Does the marriage cert you have for James and Mary Clarke have places of residence for the bride and groom, and occupations etc  ?

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the quick response much appreciated.

There are none of the details you asked about on the certificate it is not the full cert but an extract that they must have got its dated 1939...this has been my problem I have managed to trace my scottish roots no problem but I have always struggled with this line of the family....It may just be conlon now i look at it..thanks
