All I had when I went to the local office in Ireland was both names & date for marriage c 1832 & that the info. from census had their kids born Derry............1st born c 1834

The info from what Census?

Hallmark,

The 1861 onwards in Scotland where they came to live & how I came to be 

Were the Parents alive in 1907 and did they apply for Old Age Pension?

No......... unfortunately my g x 3 grandmother died (I think) in Ireland prior to 1851 census as he was a widower (had them looking for that too while I was in Ireland)

My g x 3 grandfather died 1865.

Annie

Not what I'm asking.....

WHO would have been 70 in early 1900's?

Did any of THEM alive in early 1900's apply for Pension??

You might get them in 1841 0r 51 Census search forms!!

Familiarise yourself with Latin names.
We have a Garrett - baptised as Geraldus.

In another parish set, the townlands are written fairly clearly so I just scrolled down looking for ours and checked the names.  Then I had a rest!

I expected having to muddle through a good bit of Latin but the 1st 4 registers I've looked at are all completely in English 
One priest even wrote in little notes- almost all fathers of illegitimate children names (some with comment 'married man' or 'a free man'), workhouse baptisms of ill babies noted- if only he put in maiden names

I'm like that for the last couple of days too Tara.

And forget about housework for at least the next week, I'm spending the time in front of the computer screen.  Much more interesting!!

What's housework?

Tomorrow I definitely must do grocery shopping and laundry
