Bestal/Bestall of Wicklow

[tmusabotf]

Sinnan, I understand what you are saying, but perhaps the records aren’t live yet or miss spellings once again making it difficult to find, or even destroyed in the fire or damaged so they are unable to read.

I havent had time yet to go through all the baptism and  marriage records yet that one of you posted earlier as there are so many and with no definite guideline date the whole lot would need to be looked at, that is something I am working through.

I suppose there is a possibility that William and Anne came from elsewhere but I find it unlikely given the fact that there are so many Bestall’s recorded in Ireland.

I am almost certain that William and Anne are the correct parents because the dates tie in exactly and there’s the mention of Cullen on two records albeit Cullen being a common name. However the dates are the real clue

 
Anyway if I find something when I complete the search of the old records I will post, I was hoping someone out there may already have information as it is no mean task and I didn’t know about these records before or I would have already checked them

Thanks again

Dathai, you’ve been great finding all this info. How on Earth you’re finding this when I can’t goodness knows, You obviously know what your doing.

So there’s two Bridget Corcoran’s for definite. I knew there were two, I thought one was possibly a sister of Margret and was under the impression Margaret had a daughter called Bridget but this is now even more confusing as it may look like there’s 2 Bridget Corcoran’s and one Bridget Bestal

The record your showing me shows that Bridget was Margaret’s sister, I suspected she had a sister called Bridget (Brigida) is in Margaret’s marriages certificate, there seems to be two records (one scored out) not just for Bridget Corcoran and wm Martin for another marriage of Miles Mcdonald and Sarah Maginnes. Don’t know why record is scored out 

I’ll need to re check the Bridget Corcoran and Williams details again as I can’t think offhand. I do know that Bridget Martin previously Bestal and married to William Martin died in 1928 in Scotland and we were under the impression she was Margaret’s daughter so I am even more confused now as it now looks like her sister

I will dig out whatever manual records I’ve printed off and hopefully update tomorrow

Thank you so much for this (the question now is who is the Bridget Corcoran witness of Bridget Corcoran’s marriage). I’m more confused than ever but thank you for finding it. I’ll need to do more digging as to who the other Bridget Corcoran is

Dathai, Just noticed you’ve also found Rose Corcoran death cert, thank you

I can’t understand why I haven’t been able to find them as I out the name in correctly, anyway you’ve been brilliant in helping me out

[dathai]

If William Martin and Bridget had children in Scotland their birth certs will give maiden name of mother

I’ve still to check Dathai, been caught up this morning, I will look into that thanks and thank you for all your help, you’ve been great

Dathai. 

A wee question, do you know why certain records can be viewed and others can’t. I had a quick look for the death of John Corcoran between 1855 and 1891. Records can be viewed after 1877 but records before 1877 can’t be viewed  even although record is there. No worries if you don’t  know.

 I find that strange as it’s the opposite here and perhaps that’s also what is hampering me finding records

Dathai and Hallmark, thank you I might get some answers when they’re updated. Thanks again

Haven’t had time today to dig out manual copies of Scottish and Irish details that I have, not check Scottish records. Too busy with work but I’ve managed a quick online look for some Irish records

Hopefully I will get a chance on Sunday

Thank you both
