Hi there

Can you please help me out with the marriage of Patrick Houston (I've got Hugheston) and Bridget Brannon in Keady, Co Armargh in 1873?

I know her parents were Owen Brannon (maybe Brennan) and Rose Gollogley - both dead by 1919.

Regards Cristine

hi many thanx for trying Susan and they are proving tricky to find.

Hi ϗ`*•.♫ Sue 2 ♫.•*´ϗ,

Sorry, none of those you asked for are there :-(

There is another site but it is far more expensive and no guarantees before one pays either.

Thats it I am afraid.....not having much luck today.....of course.....just because they are not in the database doesnt mean they are not there.......they are updating regularly. I think you may have to purchase the marriage certificate for more details on age and Fathers
