Hi Guys

so I hit a brick wall a few years ago and ever since ive been trying to get past this but every time I look at the info I have got I keep asking myself the same question, do I have the right answer

So my Great Grandmother Kate Horan married a William Murdoch in Belfast 1912, she put on the marriage cert that her fathers name was Matthew.

One of my Aunties suggested to me she was from an area down south called Mountmellick which I think is part of Co.Mayo

I was doing a bit of digging today and was on irishgenealogy and I thought I had made a breakthrough, I found a birth record for a Catherine Horan in Mountmellick around the time I thought she was born but the Fathers name was recorded as John Horan, no mention of Matthew.

Long story short guys how common was it for a person to use 2 different names, it seems the period I was looking for a baptism record for this John/Matthew Horan i'm not sure exists anymore and could have been destroyed or lost.

it could be something i'm overthinking but could use some help

Hi yes, I did know Pearcey and remember the night he was tragically killed. We were always worried that it would be our family next as I had 2 brothers, Michael, sadly passed away, and Noel who was much younger! It’s hard to believe we lived through so much.

Briedge you may have remembered or known or Pearse McCrory who lived on Ravenhill Ave ? I went to st Anthony’s and st augustines with him and he played in the same schools team . I lived in Greenore st bit further down the Woodstock

I am from Canada and would also love to see a photo of Malcolm Lane.  I have several family members on my tree connected to that road.

Cremation records are not online.  If you ring Roselawn Crematorium 02890 448342 they can give you dates, be helpful if you have dates of death or year and addresses as there can be more than one person with the same name
