I seem to have hit a brick wall in tracing any further back than mygreat grandparents , He was Patrick Smith from Mullymagowan and she was Eliza Brady , any help would be much appreciated Thanks Ann
Ann:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I presume your great-grandparents were RC. If they were married in Lavey parish, records for that parish start very late (1867). Can you clarify when Patrick and Eliza married? Thanks!

Hi I’ve no idea when they married their children wer born 1870s
Hi I know my Grandparents had 5 sons in 1870s Bernard 1873,James1875,John1877,Patrick1879andThomas1882 I know John and Patrick we’reliving in Liverpool by 1900 , but have no idea what happened to the others
Ann:
Still can't locate a church or civil marriage record for Patrick and Eliza. I did find the five civil birth records which you may have. They all show Mullamagavin instead of Mullymagowan. There are many, many Smith/Smyth households in the 1901 census but none seem to fit your family. I will try and look for death recorfs for the parents.
