Emilia Gill

[Mumha]

I'm currently researching my family history and my grandmother's grandfather & grandmother were Charles McCarthy and Emilia Gill. He was in the RIC at the time, and originally from Cork (although born in Bovisand near Plymouth, in 1834, when his father was in the Coastguard). They were married in Liscannor, Co. Clare on 4 Feb 1864, where he was stationed. Her father was an Edward Gill and the marriage cert shows that he was alive at the time, and was a farmer. On the RIC record it says that the Emilia's native county was Galway West Riding. Charles was 30 at time of marriage, while Emilia had minor crossed out and replaced with Full, so we can assume she was at most 18.

I've drawn a blank at finding where Edward Gill is from, can anyone help ?

We meet again, Martin

Thanks for your help on that, Martin, that was a goldmine of information. Two things arose out of it. One was the quest to find out about Edward Gill, and the other was to find out how Charles McCarthy's father Florence drowned on duty. I've been unsuccessful on both so far.
