Hi Malshie,
                I cannot give you the fathers but I can give the marriages.

2 Jul 1889 James Connor married Ellen McCullough in Drumaroad R.C. Church, Loughinisland, Downpatrick.

11 May 1874 Henry Leneghan (sic) married Mary Connor in Castlewellan R.C. Church, Kilmegan, Downpatrick.

Hi Kingskerswell

That was quick, thank you so much for information greatly helped

Would I be able to order their Marraige Certificate, would you think?

kindest regards

Malshie,
           Yes it will be possible to order the certificates but I should wait a while as I am sure thatsomeone will supply the fathers' names. If you want them for your records I would have a look through some of the Ulster postings by Aghadowey or Christopher they have advised others on the cheapest way to obtain these and give the web address to apply to.

The following are listed on Ancestryireland.com.  Several have no father's name stated and you would have to pay £4 per entry to see which one relates to your James or Mary.

Surname Firstname Year Fathers Firstname county
CONNOR JAMES 1889 PATRICK Down
CONNOR JAMES 1889 n/s Down
MCCULLOUGH ELLEN 1889 n/s Down
CONNOR MARY 1874 n/s Down
CONNOR MARY 1874 n/s Down
CONNOR MARY 1874 PATRICK Down
LENEGHAN HENRY 1874 MATTHEW Down

Thank you Kingsderswell

That is very good advice, yes I would like the information for my records, I have conflicting information that the Connor `father` was named either John or Patrick I am just trying to sort out which one is correct.
I shall wait a little while to see if anything turns up.
Expensive this research isn`t it?

Thanks again

Hi Akanex2

Thank you for taken the time to look up on Ancestryireland for me. Shame that not many fathers names have been recorded, I wonder why?
I shall, look at the records I have, to see if anything matches with your findings. £4 per entry does seem a little expensive, especially if I make the wrong choices, and knowing my luck...

I am off to get that very large file out again, fingers crossed I just may find something.

Hi Malshie

Thought you might be interested to know that we are distant cousins! I saw your post about James Connor and Ellen McCullough. They were my great grandparents. Your Great Grandmother, Catherine and my great grandfather were brother and sister.

James and Ellen had a son, also called James who was my father's father. I live about 50 miles from the Connor family burial plot at Drumaroad, County Down. Ellen was James second wife. he married three times in the space of ten years (all Drumaroad) so he had a interesting life. I can post you some photos of the plot if you like.

I have looked through your other posts and was fascinated to see the photo of Catherine. She looked very elegant.

Can you pm so we can share the family history.

Look forward to hearing from you.
