  • Hello Ted,

    I went to www.rootsireland.ie and found the baptismal record for Peter Harvey born to Peter Harvey and Catherine Fee in Co. Tyrone in 1859.  I am assuming that you have viewd this record and gleaned all the relevant information from it?

    I then went to www.askaboutireland.ie and searched the Griffith Valuation for Peter Harvey in Co. Tyrone. I found three records containing the leasing arrangements etc.  This may be worth a look.  The valuations were done over a number of years and printed from 1850 onwards so some of the infor may be outdated.

  • Ted,

    I've searched for the marriage record for Peter and Catherine but cannot find it.  The marriage records jfor Tyrone go from 1814 to 1900 so it should be there.  It is possible that it was missed when transcribing so may actually be in the original records.  The marriage record could contain Catherine's fathers name which would allow a search of the baptismal records.  There are 2 records for a baptism for Catherine Fee in Co. Tyrone from 1835 + or - 10 years.  I think you should look at these records .  It would only cost about €10 and may be one of them is the correct one??

     Sorry that I cant be of more assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Anne

  • Thanks once again Ann.I can't be certain that Peter and Catherine married but i am sure that he did marry a Sarah Gilmore and have a family with her.I am fairly new to researching so how could i be sure that any of the two baptisms you mention are for my Catherine Fee,i think i definately would need to see a marriage certificate for them.Regards.
