Edit: Hang on, I'm getting confused with Sarah husband Robert and this William Hughes above!


I think your friend needs to apply for some certificates to check the details

Scozz, you have my empathy with the Irish.......I seem to have more luck with other peoples family than my own :-(


I'll look out for your own thread on the wonderful Irish ;-)

This is fantastic. Thankyou!

I might start a thread on my own Irish ancestors.... that will be a challenge, the spelling of the surname kept changing.

Worth following up. Maura might come back with more details.... :-)

Gins - Yeah, it's Antrim, not Ayrshire, eh.

Scozz - Check out http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/J0890

Malcolm, I is never wrong my dear, I just make typo errors ;-)


Of course, it is the fathers names that will be in the certificate (hopefully)

The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/
[That works for N Ireland pre-1922 too, but after partition one has to use GRONI for the North]

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
[Not heard of any release dates for next census (=1926 in both Irelands)]

I think Gins is wrong abt info on an m.cert - I don't think it names either of the couple's parents, just their fathers.

Thankyou all very much.

I'm sure my friend will be thrilled to bits with all this info.

Scozz

It did cross my mind that having 2 children named Anna mught lead to one of them being called Margaret!


Did the family end up in Australia?

Randalstown is a small town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, located between the towns of Antrim and Toome. It had a population of 4,956 people in the 2001 Census. It has a very prominent disused railway viaduct and lies beside Lough Neagh and the Shane's Castle estate. The town is bypassed by the M22 motorway with junctions at both the eastern and western ends of the town.

Wow! That's wonderful.

My friend has her grandmother's dob as 21 January 1877 (Margaret Jane Martin). That's the date you have listed for Anna (the first one). Strange.

All she knows about grandfather William Hughes is he was born about 1875 in "Randalstown" Drum-something

My friend will fall over when I give her all this information

Thankyou again <3
