Kirkwood Ancestry

MonaghanDonaghmoyne (Monaghan)

Hi. I am seeking any information on William Kirkwood at age 35 married Eliza McMahon aged 22 on Dec. 22, 1851 in St. Comgalls Church in Galloon (Fermanagh). I can not seem to find any other info on
them, such as cemetary, date of their passing. I do know they had a daughter name Sarah Kirkwood who immigrated to Canada approx 1882...Thank you

I found a possible civil death index record for Eliza but could not locate one for William. I was also unable to find Eliza in the 1901 census in Co. Fermanagh. You can get a copy of the death record for around 4 euros from the General Register Office. If you want to get this record, let me know and I will forward instructions.

Hi Martha, your family seem to be living in Scotstown Monaghan when Sarah Anne was born 12th June 1864. Another birth to William & Elizabeth- Sophia 11th April 1869. I notice you have some of this information on your tree on Ancestry but am confused as to why you also have a baptism for Sarah in Yorkshire UK.

While William & Elizabeth seem to have married in Fermanagh they obviously relocated to Monaghan at some stage.

If you wish to acquire the Birth records for Sarah & Sophia www.groireland,ie you can purchase a Photocopy of each cert for 4 Euro each.

Sarah Anne Kirkwood b. 12th June 1864 Registration District Monaghan Volume 13 Page 302

Sophia Kirkwood 11th April 1869 Registration District Monaghan Volume 8 Page 348

Address given on both is SCOTSTOWN , Monaghan

 

Both Births to William Kirkwood & Elizabeth McMahon

Hi Frances

Thank you very much for your information, it is very much appreciated.

Not sure about the baptism record for Sarah in the UK, it must have been added in error,

I will have to check into this. Thank you once again Frances.

~~Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx In the middle of the page there are links for birth, marriage or death certificates. Hit the link for the form you want. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. (This is a program bug that the GRO has to correct). Hit cancel and the appropriate form should come up. Print the form and complete the requested information. Also provide the information from the index record--quarter/year of the event, registration district and the volume and page number where the event is recorded. Make sure you ask for a copy which costs around 4 euros. ( A cert costs closer to 20 euros). You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you.

 

Martha:

As requested.
