Cheers Julie ! I think that's what I'm looking for. Many thanks. Mary Brooke

Thank you for trying Julie.

Thanks very much Julie

im sorry ladies the irish info isnt as good on ancestry as i first thought, the names aer coming up but no dates or any clues as to wether they are the right people. i know doing irish trees is difficult, my mums side is irish and the local priest over there did hers for us, he managed to go back about 120 years but it was hard work trawling thru all the parish records etc. I know i have read on one of the boards here some good links for doing irish research, im trying to find the messages again, if they havent disapeared off the last message page. will keep looking for you all julie

Hi Karen,how can you look up the parish records if you dont know which county they came from? It is very difficult.

Hi Julie: I'm looking for the birthplace & date of my grandfather, Michael Togher (somewhere in Co.Mayo c.1870) he married Mary Lavin in Kiltimagh c.1893 and their first child,Mary Ellen was born there in 1895.Can u help please??

KAREN any clue on what area of ireland? there is quite a bit of irish records on ancestry if you have a rough idea which part julie

I am trying to find out where my gr gr grandfather came from in Ireland. His name was John Boylan he was born in 1829 and came and settled in St. helens. I found him on the 1881 census but cannot go any further. thanks.

karen ok, i went on the assumption that johns dates should have been 1829/30 rahter than 1929 and i found - on the 1891 census in morpeth frances brady (widow) aged 60 living at 229 Dacre Road with her 2 sons, ralph aged 24 and george aged 20. death record which would make him born in the right year Name: Brady, John Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 60 Quarter: December Year: 1890 District: Morpeth County: Durham Northumberland Volume: 10b Page: 219 (click to see others on page hope this helps a bit let me know if you would like me to send you the census sheet julie

karen your dates are conflicting, john born 1929 but frances born 1830 - can you let me know which is right julie

mary maybe this marriage record could be connected? Name: Dorothy Hedland Spouse: John Smith Marriage Date: 1796 Parish: Knotting julie

sorry geoff! lol did search timberland honestly! :))

Timberlake!!!! Your mind's not on the job ;)

Can you find out the parents of Charles Smith b.1801 in Knotting ,Bedfordshire ? Mary Brooke

geoff no info on him under timberlake either im afraid, im beginning to think that ancestry.com isnt all its cracked up to be. will keep looking julie

Lianne really sorry, no scottish census info on ancestry at the moment, and no sign of them on what scottish info there is. julie

Marie-Anne not much luck im afraid. the only ada tutcher showing on the 1891 census was from devon, and the only john was from dorset. no luck on your grandfather either, really sorry julie

if ancestry contains the 1901 scottish census then could you possibly search for a john james dale of dufmries and a jane sloan of dumfries (or thereabouts)? both would have been very young children at the time of the census as far as i can tell. any info on parents would be a great help thanks lianne

Sorry, Wellingore is in Lincs. There is a possibility (from IGI) that Robert Tyler was born in Timberland (also Lincs) in 1796 but I can't really assume it's him just because he exists. Re the Everitt/Brough marriage - it isn't on FreeBMD so it won't be in the BMD list on Ancestry I imagine.

hi geoff havent managed to find much so far, still looking for you tho. i did find this, record of a mary ann brough marriage, havent been able to find who the groom was tho. no record of william marriage as yet. this is what i have so far Name: Brough, Mary Ann Record Type: Marriages Quarter: March Year: 1851 District: Ashton under Lyne County: Cheshire Lancashire Volume: 20 Page: 3 (click to see others on page) will keep looking and let you know if i find any more julie
