Irish Ancestors - can anyone help find Martin Routledge Foley from Sligo?

Question

I'm trying to trace a branch of family back to Ireland and my G G Aunt, Eliza Birmingham  married her cousin Martin Routledge Foley in London in 1891. According to census records he was born in co Sligo in 1861. I cannot find any relevant Foleys (or Routledges) in Sligo but don't really have Irish research tools. Can anyone help?

Answer 2

Hi Alison, Have you created a profile for them yet? It's easier for us to see what you found so far.

Along with what Frank found I found a lot of information on Martin Foley of Sligo I did the search from Irish Genealogy.ie one of the better sources for Irish records.

Thank you for those details. I've created a profile now, although it needs refining and has just thrown up another possible daughter by another partner! [[Foley-4239|Martin Routledge Foley (1861-1928)]]. He was my G grandfather's cousin apparently so all info will help me link them.
