Church Records, Dublin

Hi Shane,
   
    I have a marriage cert for Alice which gives her address as 21 Cork Street and her father as William. Peter took over the running of the pub when William either retired or died.

    Peter died in 1880.  It gave his address as 21 Cork Street. Previous address was 32 Chancery Lane where all his children were born.

    Kindest regards,

    Nora

.....
      Bridget FOTTRELL. born approx 1830? married 1852 In St James Church (R.C). Mother Margaret.
...

I had difficulty searching for this marriage... looks like it was 1856 rather 1852 ?

  Marriage of Peter Mitchel and Bridget Fottrell - 3 Feb 1856

No addresses unfortunately - so no clues there...

A problem with searching for early records for people in Dublin, like other cities, is that many people moved to city over the years. Unless there are clues like addresses to follow it can be difficult to work back when the parish records can lack detail.

Fottrell is quite a rare name - so it's should be easy enough to locate a baptism if it's included in the parishes covered by IrishGenealogy. Since there's no sign of it maybe Bridget  was born somewhere in Co. Dublin, or even outside Dublin ?

Hi Shane,

    Thank you so much for finding a baptism for Bridget FOTTRELL.  The marriage you found for her and Peter MITCHELL is the correct one. I made a mistake in the year as I didn't have the information to hand. I don't have a father's name for her as there wasn't one on her marriage information, so I still need to make sure this is the right Bridget FOTTRELL as there were a few around at that time. I don't know of any siblings so can't find father's name through that.

     Thanks again for all your efforts on my behalf. Not the first time you came to my rescue!


     Kindest regards,

     Nora

Hi ,

I'm looking into the Fottrells also, I have recently learned my great great Grandmother was Jane Fottrell from Co Dublin and on the 1911 census there is a Bridget Fottrell visiting her which I have taken to be her sister , from the church records for her childrens (twins) baptism her name appears as Bridget Fottrell is a sponsor for my Great Grandfather. I have yet to get her marriage cert to get her parents name and there address Jane married Peter McAuley in 1886 but the online index says they got married in South Dublin they lived and settled North Strand Dublin

It is quite an unusual surname maybe they might be connected somewhere

Also Jane had different surnames on marriage and baptism Fothrill and Fotral

they seem to play around with their ages a lot.
There are children being baptised in Baldoyle area Jane,Bridget and Elizabeth to Michael Fottrell and Alicia Murphy in the 1850s a possibility.
