Hello siouxie,

There are three items you require when searching for Irish ancestors.

1. Denomination.
2. Parish
3. Townland.

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN THE HALL FAMILY BUT I HOPE YOU ARE?

DO YOU KNOW MUCH IF ANYTHING ABOUT THEM?

ARE YOU REGISTERED ON GenesReunited OR ANCESTRY.CO.UK IF YOU ARE REGISTERED ON ONE OF THEM DO YOU HAVE YOUR TREE ON THERE?

THE REASON I ASK THIS IS THEIR DAUGHTER CHARLOTTE HALL IS MY GGG GRANDMOTHER.  SO I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU COULD TELL ME.  I LIVE IN ENGLAND ABOUT 30 MINUTES FROM ROMSEY.
