DownDown (Down)

Hi, I am trying to trace my family tree and looking for great great grandparents who were from Rosscommon in County Down (I think) their names were Andrew Taggarty and Jane McCormack their family came to New Monklands in Scotland about 1890ish and my great grandfather also Andrew Taggarty was born in Ireland 1863 and died in Scotland 1944 married Mary Jane Harris M/S Adams born Ireland 1864 also died in Scotland 1921 the birth certificates of their sons and daughters states they  were married in Rosstrevor Ireland 1888. Mary Jane Adams was also married to Alexander Harris and had a daughter Elizabeth in Ireland Alexander died when he was only 27 in 1887 and then she married my great grandfather 1888 I have tried to find a marriage certificate online for them but have had no luck. I have also been in touch with other members of the family and no one seems to be able to find one (maybe they didn't marry after all) but it would be good to find out one way or the other. I hope you can find some information for me and look forward mto hearing from you. Thanx in advance. Caz.

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Not too sure if it's the same family but I will keep digging I have now found out my great great grandparents were married in Rosstrevor and not Rosscommon as I had previously stated. Sorry about that .I would love to come to Ireland and look through the registration rolls can you give me any information please on where I would go to do that would it be Belfast or Dublin ? and would I be able to get someone to help me get started ? I have all the information on my family in the u.k. but Irleland is proving to be a bit harder to get information. Thanks again.
