Crossmolina Church Records

[Diski]

Yes, these are from St Marys. But I just 'happened' to copy them because I was only interested in my Catholic relatives at the time. So there is very likely more records for the COI registers. I have not done any research in COI so I don't know whats available.
The series of 5 volumes by J. F. Quinn, 'The History of County Mayo' would very likely have more on the Ormsby family though. Also The History of Crossmolina by Tony Donohoe also has a bit of info on the family. You might very well get good results on a google search too. Concider using google.ie search engine-that might have better results. They were major land owners so there is surely info out there for you on the internet.
Don't forget the surname message boards in Ireland as well. Good luck!

Girl Rose,
Church registers filmed by the LDS end about that same time, so unfortunately I can't help with Margt birth, but you can do an on-line search of the index to see what comes up. I believe Rootchats has a link under Ireland-General, or maybe someone out there can help us with the link to Ireland births index. I really must do a better job at keeping those links handy myself. Sorry!
I also sent your request to a friend, she may some info that can help on the Moyles.
Here is the 1911 census results for moyles in Derreen:
First   LAST   RELATION   AGE   Birth ear   OCCUP   M,S,W   YRS,#   CO BIRTH
John   Moyles   Head   72   1839      m      Mayo
Bridget   Moyles   Wife   68   1843      m   40/10/8   Mayo
Bridget   Moyles   Dtr   16   1895      s      Mayo
Peter   Moyles   Son   14   1897      s      Mayo

It appears had 6 other children that are still alive in 1911, so Margt could be one of them. I also did a search for a Margaret, and there were none in Crossmolina in 1911, so she may have gone to Scotland by then for work.

I found one entry for Terrence:
YEAR   PAGE   MONTH   CHILD   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME   RESIDENCE   WITNESS   WITNESS   WITNESS   WITNESS
1846    50   2-Sep   John   Terence   Moyles   Mary   McDonnell   South Carrowgarve   martin   McDonnell   Ellen   McGowan

I suggest you concider going to the North Mayo Genealogical website and sending an email to see if they can help. There records are more complete since they have cemetary records and all surrounding parishes too.
You can also do a search for Margt Moyles from this site as well I believe.

I'll let you know if I hear from my friend.

Thanks soooo much for your help, really appreciated, I think you are correct in her leaving Ireland for Scotland for work, this makes good sense.  I shall check the census for 1911 in Scotland when it is released later this year.  Would be wonderful if your friend could help as I think the answer to this mystery is going to be local knowledge.
Thanks once again, hopefully hear from you again in due course, do thank your Friend for me x

Thank you Heywood!

Rose Girl,
The register that I have does not cover Confirmations, but perhaps if you write the Church itself they may have those records. My register from FHL # 1279204 covers Christenings and marriages only for ca 1830-1880.

Thank you Diski, will do as you suggest. Everyone is most helpful, many thanks.

Hello Diski, I am new to this and would welcome any information you can give me. Here is the information I already have:-
My mother - Mary Moyles DOB 01/08/1923, she had 9 brothers & sisters.
Her father Michael Moyles, her mother Kate Moyles (nee Barrett, originally from Lahardane) They lived on a farm in Derreen but Boughadoon was found on some letters after my mothers death.
Townland - Derreen, Parish - Crossmolina.
I would like to know my grandparents DOB's, Marriage, date of death. Any info on my grandparents brothers/sisters/parents, in fact anything would be good.

Hi Midnight Lady,
I have just replied to your other post re the census information which gives details of Michael Moyles' family (I hope).
