Find Ancestors

My great grandfather was James O'neill born around 1951 according to the 1901 census although the 1911 census he is bit older......he married Mary O'Neill
( nee ?)...

Have all their childrens names on census including my granny Bridget O'Neil.

I am on Emeraldancestors.com (again) but cannot find James parents. Can anyone help?

The O'Neills tended to live around the Drummurrer Coalisland part of Tyrone!

Thanx ever so much!

Hi Patricia,

Just to get an idea of all the dates- when were James and Mary's children born?

Thanks,
Tansy

Hi Tansy thanx for help much apprecoated x

My granny their 1st born was born 1883 siblings born right up to 1898...listed below are all the names on census 1901

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tyrone/Meenagh/Drummurrer/1736603/

My granny bridget should have been Teggart not Leggart as stated on census!

That's alright!

Don't thank me yet- I'm not very good at all this but I'll have a go! Haha,

Do you have any other info on James- like his occupation?

Tansy

Well thanx for your effort lol

James was a farmer

Hmm, I have to say I'm struggling here...

I found a marriage of James O'neill to a Mary.. However whether it's your James and Mary, I'm not sure. He would be older than the census suggests...

I'll post it anyway- you never know! And if it is, it may help with Mary's surname:

James O'Neill Pedigree

If that was him...

Then i think this would be the parents:

James O'NEILL (AFN: 15GB-8BM) Pedigree
Sex: M Family
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event(s)
Birth: 1844
, , Antrim, Ireland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents
Father: John O'NEILL (AFN: 15GB-887) Family
Mother: Jean MCNETT (AFN: 15GB-89F)


However, none of this is in Tyrone so I could be completely wrong! :/

No Tansy definately not my relatives but thanx for your time much appreciated!

Mine are definately Tyrone and i have James and Marys married in Drummurrer Donaghenry Tyrone

Civil Marriage
Date of Marriage 27 Feb 1881
Groom Name james ONEILL
Bride Name mary ONEILL
Church Coalisland Roman Catholic Church
Parish Donaghenry
Civil District Dungannon
County Tyrone

.... just trying to find out his parents names!

My mother and my granny came from the Drummurrer parts in Clonoe county Tyrone!

Can anyone else help me find the names of my great grandparents?

Did people make themselves out to be older in order to gain the pension quicker?

Is that why my grandfather and grandmother are much older than 10 years from one census to another a decade later?

Hi Patricia

The marriage of James O'Neill in Tyrone 1881 is listed on www.ifhf.rootsireland.ie

However its a pay per view site and will cost you 5 euro. The other option is to send to the GROI for a copy of the certificate?

Hope that helps a little!

Thanx Jlove i think i will send away for the cert x

If i pay for my grannys "pay per view" will it give me her parents names?

I paid the 5 euro on pay per view on RootsIreland i.e. to view my grandparents marriage ....it didnt give the full names of their parents only the surnames which was what i was after as i already had the details of their marriage date place and surnames so waste of money there!

So is that all the info i will get on their marriage cert if i paid Groni?

Does anyone know ?

My grandparents marriage lines on Emeraldancestors....

Record Type Civil Marriage
Date of Marriage 14 Feb 1901
Groom Name patrick TEGGART
Bride Name bridget ONEILL
Church Coalisland Roman Catholic Church
Parish Donaghenry
Civil District Dungannon
County Tyrone



But on RootsIreland pay per view it states parish as Clonoe and also states church marriage not civil..

(Dates are names are correct ) (Clonoe is close to Coalisland vicinity)

Is this normal?
