Trying to find out more information about George Maxwell and Bridget Giles.

They were married in 1852 in Baldoyle Parish, Dublin County on May 8.  I have seen the register scan via the National Archives, but there is no other information listed.  Is there another place to look for parents names, etc?  I can not find birth registries for either in the area.

They were both born about 1830 - 1832.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

  • Hi Stacie,

    Thank you very much for your message.

    Using the Irish Times website you can see what Catholic registers are available in the parish:

    http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Dublin&CityCounty=Dublin&parish=Baldoyle&churchid=462

    Going by this, George and Bridget?s marriage record and baptism record (if both were baptised there) should be in these parish records. Most Catholic records are still held locally so it may be an idea to get in contact with the local parish priest to see if he can be of any assistance. Here is a link to the parish contact page:

    As you can see from the Irish Times link, Swords Heritage Centre also have copies of these records. Here is their email if you would like to contact them, however a fee may apply: swordsheritage@eircom.net

    I hope that this is helpful.

    All the best,

    Emma

  • Emma,

    Thank you again! I will try the local priest. I did find their marriage record in the archives while on a trip to Dublin, unfortunately, there was no information - just their names, date and priest [not even witnesses!].

    Thanks again!

    Stacie
