Hi My name is Rosie. Iwas looking in the Irish civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie and came across John White age 21 married to Catherin Molony age 19 Jan,14th 1865 The marriage took place in St Marys catholic church Limerick City . John was a clarke and Cat, was a shop keeper ,John lived in Watergate St Michaels Limerick . From what i can see both of their fathers were named Michael . i know the church very well as most of my family were baptised in there It also comes under the parish of St Munchins which i myself was baptised in . I hope this is of some help to you . Regards Rosie .

Rosie, thanks for replying. What do you mean by "John was a clarke and Cat."?

I thought both of the male parents were named Michael and one was a "turf buyer" and one was a "weight master."

My goal is to meet up with living relatives. I am as much a social historian as a geneologist. I would love to come to Limerick and to meet my living relatives. Maybe you can help me achieve this goal. Jim White

Hi Jim. Sorry i meant clerk perhaps some kind of office job .There is a Limerick website called Limerick City Citizens. and its a free website as well anyone can join lots of people round the world are members on this website its mostly about Limerick and people post old photographs and history information and so on , members are always willing to help if they can. . Im not that great with technology but i do enjoy doing my research tracing my own family ancestors its like a jigsaw puzzle and many times one hits a brick wall .And yes both fathers were named Michael. kind regards Rosie.
