great grandparents

Anne:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on two subscription sites, Roots Ireland and Find My Past and did not locate the marriage record for James and Margaret. If they were RC then the church marriage record would not show the names of the parents of the bride and groom. If the marriage was non-RC then the marriage should have been civilly recorded and would show the names of the fathers of James and Margaret.  As I indicated, I did not find a record.

You may want to add the emigration story of James and Margaret to our XO Chronicles site and possibly someone will see a connection  https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…

Have you considered DNA testing?

Hello Anne,

I too am descended from James and Margaret Burke in New Zealand. My great great grandmother was Mary Ann Redmond. Have you got any further with your research?

Regards

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for your query. As regards James Redmond and Margaret Brown the answer is no.

If you have any further information about Mary Ann Redmond's birth or place of residence in Wexford I would be very pleased to hear of it.

Thank you

Anne
