Find Ancestors

Hello again,
Just returned from holiday to find I've been sent a birth certificate.....but it's the wrong name! So annoyed! I have a marriage certificate for a Patrick Callan. Is it likely I'll be able to return it?
Eringobragh, hope you're well, did you find any info during your Ireland census search?
Kind regards, Sarah.

Still waiting for the marriage cert.....

patience is a virtue in this hunt! thanks for your continued research.

Sarah..We will get there eventually..!
Next step is to check all Patrick Callaghan's b abt 1890 with father Thomas in the 26 Counties (1901/1911 Census Ire)...have made a start and there is not that many....just a slow process having to check and re. xcheck with 1911..when he /family could easily have been anywhere...equally father may have been deceased...Lots of fun ..!!!

Will Order one....He is recorded as a labourer on Patrick's marriage certificate.....not much to go on!

Sarah...like rootgatherer I cannot find a link ...you need to get his MC which will show his occup. at marriage...

I suppose the only way of knowing if its the right family is to try and link Thomas down to Patrick with his wife and children. Had a look but can't seem to find fit them together yet.

Thanks very much!

Haha, thought I was going mad reading those dates! Thanks so much for your time and research, it is very much appreciated.
Heres hoping there is someone out there who can connect some of the information and see if it leads back to Patrick.

Thanks for your research, never seen that info before! Seems too much of a coincidence not to be them.

Another Thomas in the area 1881, a better age to have an 1890 child. (And they are in Whittinghton, which is the usual place of abode on your Patrick's death cert. ?????????

I'll just throw into the mix, that as they married immediately post WW1, could it have been Ethel was involved in War work away from home and that is how they met, returning to the Burton area to marry and settle?
