Find Ancestors

Hi all,
I was wondering if some kind individual may be able to help me with a query into Northern Irish ancestry. I have recently started looking into my roots here, which are substantive, but have already come across the genealogical nightmare of the abscence of records due to the Troubles etc. I was wondering if there is anyone out there with a subscription to Emeraldancestry or similar as I am trying to find out the surname of the woman who married an Alexander Hynd Walls in Belfast, Antrim, 1916. I believe her name was Annie McKellin but this name is drawing no hits so I am now thinking that perhaps I'm wrong and a look at this record would really help me get on the right track. Thank you for your time, very much appreciated!

I might be wrong but I think you have to buy credits for that site?

Have you tried looking through the Irish 1901/1911 census as they are free and might give you a lead

Thanks Ginny, that ought to be a good place to start!

Cathy, the Walls' are definately the right ones. Not sure about the McKillan's if only because it states they're Roman Catholics and I know for a fact that Alexander Hynd Walls wouldn't have married a Catholic (sad but true Northern Irish tradition) but will look into that line as a potential lead thanks

Yes I wondered that myself Nathan?
Hope you find her :-)

Maura, apologies for the late reply, that is fantastic!
