Cosgrove family

CavanKilmore (Cavan)

My great grandparents Rose Ann Cosgrove and John Reilly were married in Kilmore Parish 20.5 1877, witnessed by James Cosgrove and according to their death certificates they were born in 1857 and 1858 respectively before the Kilmore Parish RC records begin. I am assuming that they married in the bride's home parish but I am unable to pinpoint precisely where Rose Ann comes from. After marriage Rose Ann and John moved to Derrybrack, Parish of Drummully, Fermanagh probably to the home of a James Reilly but I have no idea what his relationship was to my great grandfather.

A James Cosgrove of Ballananagh (Ballinagh) appears in both the 1901 and 1911 census. He could possibly be my great grandmother's brother. He called his eldest daughter Rose Ann.

Any further information about the Cosgroves of the parish of Kilmore would be appreciated

Below is the civil marriage index record for the 1877 marriage. You can get a copy of the record from the General Register Office for around 4 euros. The record would show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom were living in 1877.

Go to this link  https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

Print and fill out the form. Make sure you ask for a copy and include the year, registration district and volume and page number from the record below. You have to mail the request but you can ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back.

Thank you for your reply. To date I only had a Church record but now I have the volume and page I shall order this Civil record and hope there is further information there.

I believe "Comagh" is actually Carnagh.
