Hi Kevin,my great grandmother was Bridget Carbin from Eshrow (or Eshroe) which is part of Eshnadarragh one of the Roslea townlands. She had two sisters Ann Carbin c1847and Ellen Carbin c1856 and a brother John c1854. Their parents were John & Helen both born around 1800. I am sure Ann Carbin married Bernard Cosker c1845, so in a small way we are probably related. You might try www.claires-rosleaancestry.co.uk/ a great source of info for the Roslea area.

I've been having a look for Catherine Lynch to try to work out who her parents were, but not found one who fits. The most likely one seems to be the daughter of a John Lynch and Susan Maguire. But "cousin" on the census can mean a more distant relative, or it could mean she is his wife's cousin.

Hi Kevin, i'm sorry thats all I know about them. I live in Somerset in the UK, most of my family live in and around Manchester. One person who told me quite a lot about my family is
James Mullan who along with Clare McConville transcribed the records from St Teirneys. in Roslea. I think his ggrandmother was also Bridget Carbin. You can ask Clare for any info through her website. Regards Dave Beagan

Sorry, what marriage licence do you mean?

[kcusker]

marriage certificate from the the website you mentioned a little earlier in the forum

I think Kevin may mean the marriage certificate.

If that's the case, if it's ordered from the Irish GRO then it will most likely be in period handwriting but any signatures on it will not be original - that will have just been written by the person who submitted the infrmation to the GRO at the time of the event. In order to obtain signatures I think you would have to approach the church itself. (probably easier to get the GRO certificate first and see whether anyone actually signed their names! If they didn't it usually would state: X, the mark of William Smith (or whoever))
