For Carole Mary Hughes-Beeler - For any New York City vital information - you may try one of the following:  www.stevemorse.org - www.italiangen.org - or www.germangenealogygroup.com .  As far as your Patrick Hughes and Mary Reddington marriage goes... I did find one that might be a possibility, but it states his name as EDWARD Hughes, not Patrick.  Here is the information:

Mary Reddington and Edward Hughes - July 27, 1898 - Manhattan - Cert #2837.  All of those sites have a wealth of information besides vitals.  I do know someone that does get the certificates for others and I have used her services before, if you want the certificate.  Good luck!       Kathleen

Hi

I have just found  birth certificates for a couple of my ggg grandfathers children, in one it states he was a native of Belleny(?) Ireland and in another it says Drumore, Ireland. Ihave tried looking up Belleny without much success, could someone point me in the right direction?? Would Belleny be a Townland, I get a bit lost with the Townland, County etc in Ireland!!

Many thanks

Chris

Hi Carole are you aware that Joanis and Brigida are possibly latin names for the english of John and Bridget as the records of Irish Catholic records are often in latin.

My grandfather was Patrick Hughes 1856-1959, born in Galway, he married Mary Reddington 1878-1948 from Galway.  They were married in 1900, in the US, but I  have not been able to find there marriage.  They both died in Brooklyn, NY.

I figured that was how it is. I only found marriages for a Michael in the US several years after he died. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

The correct spelling is Skiffington but I have found it spelled several ways...Skeffington, Skivington, Skevington, Scheffington.....guess you could spell it pretty much like you want.  Thanks...appreciate your help.

I'll look around as I can. Did he spell his name Skiffington or Skeffington or is it a variable as are Bernard and Barnard for me? Bob

Robert, I don't think either of the marriage records you sent are my Michael.  The Michael Skeffington, below, is a possibility.  I have seen this record before but have not been able to track it any further so am not able to prove it either way.  Neither the name Johanis or Brigida appear anywhere else in my family line so I am thinking this is not my Michael either.  However, I will keep the info until I can prove that it is or isn't. 

 

The Michael that matches from the family tree of Candyce Lynn Wright is my Michael.  However, I have been in touch with that person and the info she has is info that I gave to her. 

 

Thank you for all you have done in this matter.  I appreciate all your time and effort but for now it looks like the mystery will continue.  Still interesting in trying to find who his second wife was.  Thanks again
