Here is your previous thread.

You didn’t reply to say that was your family in Linthorpe.

I am hoping that it is correct and you can then purchase this marriage certificate which would give you their fathers’ details.

You have posted on the Roscommon board - was Thomas born there?

If this is your Mary, she shows born Sligo in 1911

It looks as though Durham Records Online has the church record of the marriage which should give you fathers’ names and possibly mothers’ names.

Search for Thomam Lehaney - marriage 1861
It will be a Catholic record - hence ‘Thomam’

Don't forget to try the name without Mac Mc prefix

Families sometimes dropped the first part of their names.

Under the first phase of the project, church records for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kerry were made available as were a subset of the Church of Ireland parishes in Kerry. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Kerry includes parishes in western and north-western areas of County Cork. The church records for a subset of the Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland parishes in Dublin City were also available as were a small number of Presbyterian records relating to a congregation in Lucan.

Under the second phase, the remaining Church of Ireland records of Dublin City, County Kerry and County Carlow have been added. Also a subset of the Roman Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Cork & Ross were also added. In addition to these records, digital images of the originals of these church records are also available to view on this website.

Under the third phase, the remaining Roman Catholic records of Dublin City and County Cork (Cork and Ross except most of Cork City) have been added. In addition to these records, digital images of the originals of these church records are also available to view on this website.
