I have found out a little of William Moore & Mary Ann Toole's family, particularly albert who immigrated to Canada, as well as his brother John & sister Martha (married Ned Morrow).Also a cousin William McMaster & his sister Lillian McMaster who married an Ashpoole in Canada. I am hoping to make a connection to the Currie family, as Albert married Jane Elizabeth Currie in Canada, 1920. Her birth is listed as 01 Dec. 1894, Belfast, but we think she knew albert's sister Martha prior. Is her family from the Lisburn area?? Possible her mother is Mary Ann McMullen, father Joseph Currie. Any help appreciated

Hi Louise,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking for Jane?s birth record to confirm her place of origin? Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so you should be able to find record of her birth in those records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records online at:

You could also try searching for the family in the 1901/1911 census records. These are available online and can offer lots of useful information.http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

I hope this is helpful. Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
