Thank you all, because I couldn't find Catherine and Rebecca martin birth in Belfast I thought Scotland and I found certificates on irishgenealogy.ie for Louis 1870/1874 also death of senior in 1891 and Catherine the mum 1893 in Belfast. I will look up sutherland to see marriage certificate if possible they make have census free or look up certificates sites like irishgenealogy.ie, maybe louis and Catherine's from Sunderland and moved to Glasgow. Regards Sharonrose

Marriage of Louis Senior ?

If you get a copy of the certificate it should give you ages of Louis and Catherine and the names/occupations of their Fathers

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1856 (>99%)
Dunphy Patrick Sunderland 10a 423
Glass Catherine Sunderland 10a 423 <<<<<<<<<
Martin Louis Sunderland 10a 423 <<<<<<<<<
Wilson Jane Sunderland 10a 423


There is a birth Dunphy / Wilson Sunderland 1857

The only Martin / Glass births showing are in Okehampton RD which would go with an 1856 marriage same RD of a Wm Martin

Please give more precise and clearer info than you do in your OP.

What are the names of the children you have found - where were they born and when were they born please. Where did you find their names?

You say Lewis born Belfast in both years - what do you mean?

EDIT - Is it the Louis/Lewis born 1870/1874 (see below post) who had 2 daughters - Rebecca and Catherine - even if you can't find their certificates, do you have any idea where they were born?

And where did Lewis marry and to whom?

You could try Scotlands People web site. It is a paying site.

There are no records for people travelling between Ireland and the rest of Britain, because Ireland was part of the UK at that time. People just caught a ferry, same as now.
