Looking for information on the above names.

Thomas Swift B: c 1839  married Mary (M'Namara) in Swineford in 1867, Mary was born c1841.

They had 6 children, 3 living (per 1911 census) my grandfather Michael, Annie and ?????

Thomas and Mary lived in house 8 Cartron,Coolnaha, in 1911.

I seem to be at a standstill right now and can find no more info on them online, any pointers or assistance would be very much appreciated.

  • Sheila:


    I was able to locate a civil death index record for Mary. It appears she died in 1921. I was no able to locate a record for Thomas. I also found the civil marriage index record for the 1867 marriage. If you want to get copies of the death and marriage records from the GRO, let me know and I will explain the process. The marriage record should show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom lived in 1867.


    Regarding the three children, the 1901 census also listed a Thomas so I'm assuming he was the thrid living child in 1911 unless you know that he had died by 1911.

  • Sheila:


    Go to this link for the GRO http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx  In the middle of the page, there are links for birth. marriage and death certificates in English. Hit the appropriate link. You will likely get a screen asking for a User Name and Password. Hit cancel and the form should appear. Fill out the form and also provide the quarter/year of the event, registration district ( Swineford in your case) and the volume and page number. Make sure you only ask for a copy whcih costs around 4 euros. You can also ask the GRO to e-mail you the copy. Let me know if you have any questions.
