[johnroscommon]

The plot thickens!
Using the LDS British Isles Vital Records set of 16 CDs, I searched for Mc Padden (note space) father Michael and Gallagher for mother. I was directed from Disk 8 (M) to Disk 11 (P&Q). Result two Civil Births:
MC PADDEN, Mary. Birth. Gender:   Female
Birth Date: 30 Aug 1869. Birth registered on page 234, Drumkeeran Registrar’s District, Leit, Ire. Father:   Michael McPadden, Mother:   Catherine Gallagher

MC PADDEN, Rose. Birth. Gender: Female
Birth Date: 26 Jan 1872   Birth registered on page 281, Drumkeeran Registrar’s District, Leit, Ire
Father:   Michael McPadden, Mother:   Catherine Gallagher

Hi John,
Thank you very much for all the info.
Did you find confirmation that the children of Michael McPadden & Catherine Gallagher were born in Derrinvoney
In any case they are definitely of my family.

I have just to day got some birth records for the children of Michael McPadden & Catherine Gallagher.
They were born in Derrintawey,birthplace of Michael.
He was also there in Griffiths Valuation in 1857.That seems to put them out of the picture in Derrinvoney.

I'm finally getting over to Ireland this December.  Any suggestions on were to begin looking for records while over there?  Hoping to stop in Dublin, Leitrim and Mayo while there.

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Heather,
I have had computer problems & could not reply sooner.

As you probably know Civil Reg.started in 1864.
So that route may not be very fruitful.
However if you google B.D.M. Leitrim you will see the details of the Carrick on Shannon Office.
Most records have been computerised but for old ones it seems original book records are used.

The Leitrim Genealogy Centre have the Church Records transcribed,all which were available.
Their web site is :  www.leitrimroots.com.
The email address is : info.@leitrimroots.com.
As you will see from the site they have  Manorhamilton Marriage Banns ,which relates to the parish Inismagrath,which is the relevant one for you.
There  you will also find the Tithe Applotment Books 1830s approx. & Grifiths Valuation 1850 - 1860.
The latter two are lists of property owners only.

The Leitrim County Library have a local history section which could be useful too.
Their email address is : library@leitrimcoco.
 Good luck.         Maura
