I'm trying to trace the parents of Elizabeth Madill (born c 1865) Her marriage certificate (to Joseph A Deering) states her name as Lizzie and father as Alexander. Just found a birth for Eliza Anne (Family Search) and mother Mary Anne Sharpe in Drum 1865. I see that Mary Sharpe also had chiuldren by James Madill and can find no other children by Alexander. Does anyone have any further information, please?

  • Joy:

    The 1861 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing shows an Alexander Madill living in Magheranure townland in Clones civil parish. Possibly this is the father of Elizabeth.

    I looked for civil birth index records for Elizabeth in the Clones registration district. There were no records for 1865 but there was a record in 1868. See below. NOTE if Elizabeth was born 1863 or earlier there would be no civil record.

    I also looked for civil marriage index record for Alexander Madill. There was an 1850 record for an Alexander Madill marrying a Mary Ann Sharp. (See below). You can get copies of these records for around 4 euros each from the General Register Office. if you plan to get copies let me know and I will forward instructions.

  • Thank you so much for unlocking my past! I had just found a birth for Lizzie Madill in Drum in 1865. Her father was listed on her marriage cert as a merchant and i know that together with her husband she ran Andersons in the village of Drum so I'm hoping all connects! I will send for the certificates from the GRO tomorrow
