Find Ancestors

Yes Erica you have the marriage certificate I got it online thru Irish BMDs

So, how does it relate to your original question on here about people allegedly born in the late18th/early 19th century?

The 1871 marriage is obviously not for ANY of those people.............are you suggesting that Luke born c1852 is a descendant of one of them?

One further point which needs to be noted is that, as Luke was a soldier when he married in 1871, he may well not have been born in Ireland...................

This connects - I imagine - with your other thread about the Connolly name, on behalf of your friend?

WHERE do you get the info you provided in your opening post? PLEASE tell us.....................

I will have to give up on the search for Luke Connolly as their are too many Luke's.
I know that my Luke Connolly born 1852 married a Margaret Elizabeth Galway who are my friends Great Grandfather & that his father was a James Connolly from the marriage certificate
My friend has asked me to stop researching anymore. Many thanks to all of you who have helped me & sorry to say I can not continue searching Ellen

If, in the future, your friend decides to further this research, just ask. GR members will always try to help....................

Bear in mind, though, that you would need to fill in a considerable 'gap' between the two James Connollys. The one whose son was Luke c1852 simply can't be the one whose birth you suggest was in 1771.

ALSO......the woman who married LUKE GALWAY in 1871 was called MARY
