Looking to find information about my family in Ireland

Ann-Marie:

This is probably your great-grandfather in this 1901 census record. He was a farm servant for the Walsh family in Crinnaghtaun townland in Affane civil parish. Looks like Thomas died in early 1907. See death index record below. He and Margaret married in 1869. See index record further down. Here is a link to the catholic Church in the area. If you want to get copies of the marriage or death records let me know and I will explain the process. Let me know if you have any questions.

Mr McDonnell, I can not thank you enough for the information about my family.  I would like, very much, to get a copy of my Great-Grandparents marriage record and his death record.  Please let me know what I need to do to purchase these. 

I can not explain the thrill I got when I saw your response.  Thank you again, Ann Marie

Ann Marie:

Glad I could help. Copies of civil birth, marriage or death records can be obtained from the General Register Office (GRO). Go to this link. http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

Hit the link for a marriage certificate in English. You will likely get a screen asking for a User name and Password (this is a program bug that needs to be fixed). Hit cancel and the form should come up. Print the form and fill it out. Provide the data from the index record above i.e. 1869 year of marriage, Lismore registration district and the volume and page number (4 and 844). This information allows the GRO to go right to the record. make sure you only ask for a copy of the record and not a certificate. A copy costs around 4 euros. I provide them with my credit card number. I've done this over 20 times with no problems. You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you. Use the same process for the death record except you hit the link for Death certificate in English.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Roger

Roger,  thanks again.  I filled out the form and will send them off tomorrow.  I feel a few steps closer to finding my Great-Grandfather's final resting place.  It is good to have people like you doing such good deads.  My sister and brothe-in-law do the same thing for people from our area and I know they are appreciated also. 

Have a great day!  Ann Marie

Ann Marie:

The civil death record will show the date of death, age of deceased, location, cause of death and the name of the informant. It will not show where the deceased was buried. I think the church would be the best source for that information.

Dear Ann Marie

I have been reading your correspondence about Thomas Poole, your great grandfather.

I have a copy of the 1901 Census and my great grandfather, Hugh Walsh, is on that same sheet.  He lived at Crinnaghtaun with his son. Richard, and daughter-in-law, Mary, and Messrs. Leahy, O'Shea, O'Loughlin and your great-grandfather, Thomas. The farm was sold in the late 1960s and is now Crinnaughtaun Apple Farm.

Have you any photos of Thomas on the farm?   If I had your e.mail address, I would love to write to you.

Sincerely,

Margaret
