Fitzpatrick - McLaughlin

Catherine Fitzpatrick’s marriage was registered in Banbridge on 21st November 1923. You can view the original certificate on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option:

You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2 (sterling) to a view a certificate. That certificate should give you information to trace the families back eg the family townland.

Here’s a family in the 1901 census that might be Catherine’s (Ballyvarley is within Banbridge registration area) but you need to get that marriage cert to investigate further:

Hi - This was great info Elwyn - any record of John McLaughlin's death ? Still baffled as to John, who (mentioned in a US Army letter of 1921), stayed in Glasgow (since pre 1890) moved out to Banbridge aged 46ish - unless this is where his parents  father John McLaughlin (John and Susan Gallacher) and/or mother Catherine Connolly (James and Catherine Connor) came from in 1854/55 ?? Banbridge Pic shows L-R, John, Lizzie(his sister visiting from Glasgow), wife Catherine, neice Mary B (girl),Joe (Lizzie's son) 1952 - ps - Lizzie is my gran. Regards

Sorry can't help with the death. We searched for this previously didn't we, on another post?
