I am looking for any information relating to the Rogers Family of Raherolus. Thomas Rogers and his wife Ellen (Shryane) had 5 sons, John, Patrick, James Thomas and Michael. They were married at St Nathy's Cathedral in Ballaghadereen in 1899. The Father of Thomas was also called Thomas and he married Bridget Dogherty in 1864 at The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Kilmovee.
I visited Kilmovee some years ago and got some information from the church, but i am still unable to find some dates for Births, Marriages and Deaths. I am also unable to go back any further than Thomas and Bridget. Any inforamtion would be gratefully received

Below is the marriage civil index record for Thomas and Bridget. Note the surname on the record was Rodgers. You can contact the GRO www.groireland.ie to get a copy of this record which should show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom lived when married. Fill out the GRO form and provide the year of marriage, registration district (Swineford) and the Volume and page number ( 4 and 555). You can ignore the other two names on the index record. They were for other marriages on the page. The copy of the record costs around 4 euros.
I assume you have the 1901 and 1911 census records for the family?
You mention not having dates for certain events. What records are you looking for?

Hi Carol,
You might also want to check the rootsireland.ie site.
The marriage record of Thomas RoDgers and Bridget Dogherty is on there (Mayo 1864)
You may also be able to find the missing records on there. However, it is a pay site.

Thank you for your help, I'll definitely look at the sites you recommend.
The dates I am still looking for are:
Death record for Thomas Rogers (born Sept 1868)
Birth and Death records for Ellen Shryane (married to Thomas)
Birth and Death records for Thomas Rogers (married in 1864)
Birth record for Bridget Doherty (married to Thomas and dies in 1899)
I have found details that Thomas and Bridget had 3 children, Thomas (b.1868), Catherine (b.1865) and John (b. 1873)
I am stuck at Thomas and Bridget but I will order their marriage certificate and work from there.
Thanks

If you mail your request, a copy costs around 4 euros or as Col suggested, you can join Roots ireland. I think the record costs is around 5 euros on Roots.
I will look for the other records and advise.

Two possible death index records for Thomas Rogers Sr. If you contact the GRO, give them the death index info for both record and tell them you want the Thomas from Raherolus. Regarding Thomas Jr., there was a Thomas Rogers born in 1869 who died in 1936. Not sure if this is your relative. The record is below. The only Ellen Rogers record I could find was a Ellen born in 1872 and died in 1949. See below.
