right,i'm looking for a martin connelly possible dob 1869..i know he had a son john willam connelly born 1906..i would just like any info on either eg how they married ect also i'm stuck on a thomas charles robinson father of a an agnes mary robinson..hope some very nice person can shed some light on these for me i would be very grateful christine

Where were they from? What is their approximate years of birth or Thomas Charles and Agnes Robinson?

they are from shropshire(shrewsbury)i know agnes was born 1911 i think and thomas possibly 1882..but i cant seem to find anything else

anyone!!

What certificates have you got so far? John Conollys birth cert would give his father and mothers names and then you could look for their marriage cert which would give their fathers names and go backwards from there. Have you looked on freebmd and failing that looked at ancestry complete index (both are free). You could look for Martin on the 1881 census - thats also free on familysearch.org

i havent got the birth cert of john connelly..i have got the age from his marriage cert and cant on records find his dob record..but thanks for the other tips i will carry on hunting cheers chris

The big problem being that this name sounds suspiciously Irish to me. 1871 ancestry gives this family: However on the image it actually says Conway - so Im a bit confused by it. Father is from IRELAND Anne Connelly 14 Catherine Connelly 45 James Connelly 12 John Connelly 10 Julia Connelly 4 Martin Connelly 2 Mary Connelly 20 Michael Connelly 50 Michael Connelly 6

There is a John William Connelly born 1904 Births Mar 1904 (>99%) CONNELLY John William Lambeth 1d 302 or Births Sep 1909 (>99%) CONNELLY John William Hendon 3a 360 It wasnt uncommon for people to lie about their age on their marriage certs by either adding on a year or two or shaving a few off.

What was Martin's occupation on his son's marriage cert? Mhairi

You do need to start buying some certificates to work your way backwards through these people.

Heather this could be the right family as my mum said a while back somewhere along the line there is irish in our family..and yeah i have started getting some certs.. Mhairi,martins occupation wasi think a farm labourer not to clear to read on it lol thanks both for your help

In the 1901 census most of the Martin Connelly's are born in Ireland and most are Boarders/lodgers so not much help there. Do you know if John or Agnes had any siblings? (brothers and sisters) If yes, where they older or younger? oh and when did John and Agnes die? Mhairi

i know they had quite a few children 7 i think i know for definate they had a daughter called agnes jane born 1932others as far as my mum tells me where called billy,joan,margaret,june,joyce and martin..and i dont know when they died..

Could this be Agnes's death Name: Agnes Mary Connelly Birth Date: 24 Dec 1910 Death Registration Month/Year: May 1986 Age at death (estimated): 75 Registration district: North Shropshire Inferred County: Shropshire Volume: 30 Page: 98 Agnes Mary - Do you know if she had any brothers or sisters? John William - Do you know if he had any brothers or sisters? Mhairi

no i dont sorry not alot to go on i know i really appreicate your help with this.. chris
