Looking for the parents of Michael Fagan, he was born about 1869 in Westmeath. He married a Mary Anne Dermody in 1905 in Co Cavan. Was still in Cavan in the 1911 census. He died in 1940 back in Westmeath.
Hi Cath,
I will see if I can give you some direction. Do you have any certificates, letters or memorial cards, the reason I query this is that they may give youthe town/townland that they lived in ?
I searched familysearch.org (free site) & I found some information that may be his, but I am unsure as the dates do not exactly match.
The best way forward would be to use www.rootsireland.ie (subscription based) & they should be able to assist you get his death, marraige & birth certificate, hopefully the later 2 will give you the name of his parents.
Best of luck in your search. Carmel O'Callaghan
Thank You Carmel for the above advice. Could you tell me how to get there Marriage Certificate by post as i live in the UK. Thanks Again..
Hi Cath,
Sorry for not coming back to you sooner as some of my friends were trying to get copies of certs from Family Search by email & as yet they have not got them. If there is a Family Search centre near you they may be able to help you, basically if you can identify your relative on their database, you can order the micorfilm & get a copy from it.
Otherwise try Rootsireland.ie or try http://www.groireland.ie/apply_for_a_cert.htm
I have never got anything from these sites as I am able to go to Dublin about once a month & source them direct from the office there, but they limit the number you can get & you have to search for yourself through the registers
Best Wishes from Carmel & do let me know how you got on..
