Felix Reilly b Co Cavan @1830
« on: Wednesday 11 June 08 15:36 BST (UK) »
Looking for any possible info on a Felix Reilly who moved to Carluke in Lanarkshire around 1850, he was the son of John Reilly and Ann McCabe and had two brothers I know of, Owen (who married a Mary Gough or McGough) in 1846 in Cavan and James. Felix married an Elizabeth Carr in Carluke in the early 1850's, she was also a native of Cavan, her father was William Carr and he mother, Catherine Gilmour (who remarried a Thomas Riggs, a native of Co.Westmeath). Any pointers would be appreciated.

Civil registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages in Ireland started 1864 (from 1845 for other marriages). To find church records (for baptisms, marriages, etc.) you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
