Looking for info on my grandfather Michael Carr from Glencolubkille, Co. Donegal. He married Madge Gillespie around 1930 to 1935. Their children were Mícheál, Sean, Anthony, Paddy, Angela, Peggy, Maeve and Breege. Any information would be appreciated. Birth, marriage, etc, death records.
Thank you in advance
Mick:
The only Michael Carr civil marriage record in Glencolumbkille around 1930-1935 was a 1929 marriage of a Michael Carr to a Madge Breslin. Any chance this is the correct record? Michael Carr lived in Kinnakillew.

Hi there Mick,
Madge Breslin was my great aunt. I have been researching the family Breslin's, Cunningham's and Carrs for quite a number of years. Anthony is usually a good source of info he has given me a few interesting leads. Are you in touch with him? My mum was just speaking to Paddy last week. Caroline(Linnie's daughter)
