« on: Thursday 08 September 11 15:40 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace a marriage of michael leonard born 1876 from reengaroga ireland to a annie nolan born 1891 sydney australia. I believe they got married in the reengaroga area in ireland.  Their son was my grandad and they had 7 other children born in Tralee ireland.  Some of the children went to America and some of the others settled in England while a couple I believe stayed in ireland.  He is my great grandfather. Any help would be great. Thanks

Do you know the names, place and dates of birth for any of the children ?

It might help start the search off..

p.s. I dont see anywhere named Reengaroga in Co. Cork - presume it's a mistranscription or mis-hearing. You can check Irish placenames on the townland database at : www.thecore.com/seanruad

I believe it is somewhere near Skibbereen.  Their children were as follows Michael who I have been told died but don't know where Patrick who moved to Maidenhead UK, Joseph, Peter, Mary who I believe moved to Washington DC, Nancy who moved to Slough UK and I believe her husband Matthew Sheehea was Mayor there. I don't have their date of births.  Catherine (Kitty) born in 1919 died 1985 who moved to Reading UK, and Eugene my grandad born 1922 died 1982 and settled in Middlesbrough UK.

what year do you think the eldest child might have been born ?

knowing that would help narrow down the possible dates for a marriage. There are quite a few Leonard families in Co. Cork... so not easy to search for a marriage over such a wide date range..

Might be worth checking for Michael snr on the Irish 1911 census to see if he's already married at that time

p.s. be careful about posting details on people who may be alive - as that's not allowed on RootsChat.

Reenogreena is in the civil parish of Kilfaughnabeg in Skibbereen.  Anybody born there after civil reg started would probably be registered at the Union Hall office or maybe the Rosscarbery office in Clonakilty.

Based on the townland database Reenogreena would be in the Civil Registration District of Skibbereen. Here's the Michael Leonard marriages shown on the BMD Index between 1911 and 1919 - no sign of any in Skibbereen district, and the only one in Co. Cork is in the Mallow district, with no Nolan cross-match as far as I can see.

  Michael Leonard marriages - 1911-1919

Thankyou I have now found Michael Leonard in the Irish 1901 census not married at house No 2 Gortnalickey (Cape Clear) Cork and his dad was a farmer.  Which rings true as we were always told that they were farmers, but still can't find his wedding certificate but I know he wasnt married in 1901  and Kitty was born in 1919 so he must of got married between 1901 and 1919.  Which has narrowed it down a bit.  Could someone please tell me if Gortnalickey is anywhere near Skibbereen as I know my grandad lived there before he came to England.
Thankyou once again for your help. x
