Hi Joe and irishjust

Karen did in fact, post on 1851 and I (Trish) posted on 1861 for Michael only (not Thomas)  (what did you drink for dinner today Joe?)

I haven't checked any BDM data but it should be noted that the IGI
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

has the civil birth and marriage index records for Scotland for the period 1855-1875, (births including parent names) so they can be checked there - being no charge, at a cheaper rate than ScotlandsPeople. Joe may well have found his information there. If you want the full certificate details, you can buy from SP or presumably get the film from the LDS

saw my mistake trish and modified

thank you

Hi Joe

no worries

Trish (still wondering  )

[Irishjust]

Thank you all for your time

I did find the marriage banns for Michael & Mary Ann in 1860 and also for Thomas and Sarah in 1861.

The Gilmourton records are indeed my family as well as the Devitt's.

I was trying to determine where in Ireland Michael and Thomas Gilmartin had come.

Can you share what info is on the census for the Devitt's, Michael & Hugh?

Thanks again and this will indeed help in furthing my search.  It has certainly given me a few more clues to go on.


Thank you!

Joe,
On the following post, do you remember the surname? If Gilmartin/Gilmourton not  sure these fit in. Griffin/Griffen would tho.
Thanks much I so appreciate your help.
