Last chance - My Brick Wall

[markova21]

Hello,Have you considered commissioning a professional Genealogist to help you out? For short term or one off searches it might be just the thing. Make sure he /she is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists. WWW.apgi.ie

You are not a professional genealologist by any chance are you Markova21? 

Agree with Lizzie that rootschatters do just as good a job as the pros at no cost. I also know of several instances of profesional genealogists even requesting help here on rootschat.

Pat - do you have any of the children's birth certificates?



No I am not a Professional Genealogist. It just seems to me that if someone had hit a brick wall why they wouldn`t get a bit of help. I`ve looked and there are people who don`t charge that much.

I agree, however once you have been around RootsChat longer and read some of the threads, you will see that there are some extremely knowledgeable people on here and I would go as far to say that, if between them they can't find the information, then it probably isn't there to be found.

Welcome to RootsChat.

Pat You have to get this birth certificate to give Mary's maiden name.

Do you know how to order it from the GRO?

Once you have Mary's maiden name it at least gives you more information to look for their marriage. That isn't going to be easy but at least  with Mary's surname you have something to go on.

Yeh  looks as tho I am back (I hope) have been having all sorts of trouble trying to sort things out with my computer....just give me a little time so I can assimilate info and will hopefully get back to you.

Hi All - And thank you for your patience, have just re-read all the information as this has been on my back burner for a while. What I have realized is that I can find no records of births for any of the children of Bernard and Mary (pls discount the name Bowen for Mary, this has appeared on other trees and cannot be substantiated) It is possible that they did not bother to register the births of any of the children ?? all the info that I have came from the Cencus's (Censi- lol)
Will do as suggested and see if I can find any info on Catholic church records at Worsborough and Barnsley and will also check Wentworth Family Archives...am keeping my fingers crossed.
Regards Patvp

Hi PatV, Bernard and Mary Riley are also my ancestors, I see there is a Michael Rielly born 1839, I am applying for the Birth cert, Dist: Ecclesfield, Vol: 22 Page: 157, I am hoping it will show Mary's maiden name and also Michael's Father, and possibly the address.  I saw that someone put on here that Mary's maiden name was Watkin, but Birth cert might confirm.

Mother's maiden name listed as Watkin on birth certificate-
RIELLY, MICHAEL       WATKIN 
GRO Reference: 1839  S Quarter in ECCLESFIELD  Volume 22  Page 157

Thank you, yes, I saw someone said mother's maiden name was Watkin previously, does father's name show on the B cert?  I think this almost proves that there is no connection with Bowen/Bowan and the Paletines that Ancestry keep mentioning.      Thanks again, Carole
