Find Ancestors

Please can you help
I have a Micheal Nertney 1827? married to an Elizabeth Fallon 1831
married 6 march 1848 in Strokestown They came over to England and had 13 children the first in 1851 Stockton but not sure when they came over I am trying to find more info on their family in Ireland and their ancestors

The Irish Famine was raging between the years 1845/52, so you would presume this was their reason for leaving their home.

Strokestown has a famine museum, have you thought of contacting the church where they were married for further records regarding the bride/groom.

Didn't know about the museum thanks
