Okay, that's fine, so you have the McCloughins and Cotters in England, and know they both came from Cork (a milestone)!.  Another important point;  Peter was Schoolmaster, which means his family were probably a little 'better off' than most, and their records (together with his two wives' familes) should be reasonably traceable.

You should first contact the Cork Heritage Centre, and see what they can offer.

hi Mobo, wonder if you can offer me some advice  :)

I'm trying to track down my g-g-grandmother, Margaret Lyden, who was born about 1833 in Clifden, Co Galway.  Her father was a coastguard (William Lyden) and her brother, Bartholomew, was also a coastguard.  Bartholomew was born on 22 May 1822 in 'Orney [sic], Galway' (this info is from his naval records at Kew).

Considering that this family would have moved around quite a bit in the coastguard service, could you suggest the best way of tracing them (I'm hoping to visit Ireland this autumn on a holiday/ancestor hunt  ;D)

You've obviously found Thomas & Mary on the 1901 Census with son Michael, as it shows their birthplaces as Dublin & Newry, respectively.

You should now send for the marriage certificate to find out their fathers' names, and to show which Church they married in.   When you have that, you'll be able to contact the Dublin Heritage Centre, for more info.  I'm sorry I can't help with Newry as I have no experience of Northern Irish records.

Happy hunting !!

Hi Clara,

Not sure what you want me to do on this one - did this family come to England ?  As you have so much information, and if they stayed in and around Galway, (or anywhere else in Ireland), I'd think both the Galway Heritage Centres would probably be the best places to start.

Thanks Mobo  :)

Actually, I haven't got a huge amount of info on these Lydens (other than from census and naval records), but I will write to these FHS's and see how I get on....

So many thanks for these addresses  :D

Clara

ps and yes, Margaret Lyden married a coastguard (!) and moved to England (Kent) where her husband was posted in the service - they ended up in Hove in their old age....
