Ellen Moore Birth Certificate

Could anyone please help me find a birth record for my 3x great grandmother Ellen Moore, she married a Thomas Campbell registered in strabane in 1888 but later down the line he started using his mothers maiden name Jamieson and so did his wife and he named his children with the surname Jamieson, Ellen would of been more around 1868 but i can’t find any record i only know her father was a cunningham moore by her marriage certificate, any help would be appreciated, thank you

Shandog:

I checked the free site irishgenealogy.ie and there were four Ellen Moore civil birth records from 1864-1869. None had a father name Cunningham. I also checked the subscription site Roots Ireland for all of Ireland and there were no records for an Ellen Moore with father Cunningham.

I located a few details that might be leads worth following up ...

Death of a Cunningham Moore (an uncommon first name) age 84 in Castlederg registration district in 1874 - this is the adjacent district to Strabane where Ellen's marriage took place. The death record does not seem to be indexed correctly on the free IrishGenealogy website, but the BMD Index give the references as Volume 2, page 19. A search of the Castlederg death registers shows the following :

The place of death is recorded as Glenglush which is a townland in Ardstraw civil parish - the same civil parish mentioned as Ellen's residence on the marriage. Occupation of Cunningham is reported as Weaver.... a little old to be father to your Ellen but same name and parish so maybe related...

A search of Griffith’s Valuation for Glenglush townland, Ardstaw civil parish includes mention of a Cunningham Mone leasing a property in the townland.. no sign of any Moore's at the time of the valuation, c1859/1860 for this area

There is a reference to Cunningham Moore from Ardstraw Parish on the internet, perhaps your Cunningham's father.
