Carnmoney burial lookup politely requested
« on: Wednesday 17 November 10 20:39 GMT (UK) »
New member here!  I hope that I'm doing this correctly. I'm requesting cemetary lookups for the Gordon family in the Carnmoney area, specifically looking for Thomas R. Gordon after 1780. I'm also interested in finding mariage records for this Gordon family between 1780-1795. I hope I did this correctly. Thanks for any information!

New member asking for the kindness of a stranger to lookup the burial or headstone in Carnmoney Presbyterian Church of Thomas R. Gordon, died sometime during the 1780's- 1850"s? There were quite a few children in this family who also may be interred there. Thanks for your kindness.

Charles,welcome to rootschat.

Does your thomas have a partner,please try and add as much info as possible everyone on here will be very helpful,but its important to remember that irish records are not as good as other countries. civil records for non catholic start 1845 and for catholics 1864,before that its church records if they exist, so religon is important when looking for records in ireland.


                                          regards mary.

Hi

George are you sure they were from Carnmoney?  I have just got an email from you and you are looking for Thomas R Gordon in Ballyeaston.

The Kindness of Strangers is only possible when we receive the correct information.

Your date span of 1780's - 1850's covers over 70 years which would be a very long and difficult search for anyone.  Is it possible for you to narrow it down?
