If it's the same woman, in later census (1881 and 1891) she gives her birthplace as Roscommon. It may be worth therefore having a look at the County Roscommon Family History Society's website at www.roscommonhistory.ie/Genealogy/CRFHS/crfhs.htm as they will likely know what sort of records are available locally to assist, and perhaps also have members who can provide quick lookups, etc. As she married in 1836, although this is before the start of civil registration, some churches started recording the new information, and even changing over to the new format registers so if you can track down which church they married at, the register may give her father's name and occupation. The change of format was released in 1835, and printers quickly changed to the new format, so if churches bought new register books between then and July 1st 1837, they tended to buy the new format and fill in all the boxes, even though they weren't required to record all of it until the commencement of civil registration. |

Thanks Hurricane ( Jim ) I was hoping you would see my post, as I noticed that you have an interest in family history.... I have found the 1881 and 1891 census results..Thank You... You are correct this is the lady I am looking for.....she is also on the 1841, 51, 61, census.. I am going to try and find her, as now I know she was born in Roscommon.....I am not used to Irish sites, so I may be some time...lol  Thanks so much Jim.....  |

I didn't mention the earlier entries, as they only said Ireland from what I saw, which isn't much help. I've tried all the usual suspects such as Familysearch and IrishGenealogy.Org (the free bits) without success.
