Question

Hello, I am working on my own extended family  tree and have hit a stumbling block with one James Turner (Turner-32005). He apparently was born in Ireland (no county/town listed) in 1846, the son of William Turner and Mary Livingston, both born in Ireland (Turner-32006 and Livingston-4195; again, no city/county listed). This James Turner married Elizabeth J. Snuffer (Snuffer-33). I have not  been able to find any definitive records for the Turner family in Ireland. Would someone be willing and able to help with this?

Thank you,

Laura E.

Answer 1

The name Livingston is only found in the north, see https://www.johngrenham.com/findasurname.php?surname=livingston Turner is more widespread https://www.johngrenham.com/findasurname.php?surname=turner

https://rootsireland.ie/ifhf/search.php shows the following for Mary Livingston:

View	Baptismal/Birth Records for Ireland.	135
View	Marriage Records for Ireland.	101
View	Burial/Death Records for Ireland.	33
View	Census Records for Ireland.	37
View	Gravestone Inscriptions for Ireland.	14
View	Griffith's Valuation for Ireland. (Free Access)	1
View	Irish Ship Passenger Lists.	7
View	Census Substitutes for Ireland.	2

So probably best to find someone who has a rootsireland subscription.

PS I don't think the IRA were the Ireland Gov't when they set fire to the Four Courts

Answer 2

Paper records were destroyed by Ireland Gov't

There are no census records.If they were Catholic,might find

Birth Baptism and marriage record.
