My great grandparents, James and Sarah Donnellan/Donelan, had 9 children of which the youngest was my grandmother, Nora Teresa Donelan. She married Mike Fitzmaurice in Cleveland Ohio USA in 1928.. They are my brick wall! A marreige cert or their birth certs have been hard to find. Any help would be appreciated A search on irishgenealogy.ie today produced no info on either James or Sarah. Thank you for you great work......Theresa Fitzmaurice

Theresa:
irishgenealogy.ie only has civil births thru 1920. Do you know the names of the older siblings of Nora?

Theresa:
I read your message incorrectly. Here is the civil birth record for Norah see fourth record https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…
In the 1901 census, the family was in Shoodaun townland in Monivea civil parish http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Graigabbey/Shoo…
1911 census http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Graigabbey/Shoo…
I will look for additional records.

I looked on Roots Ireland and www.irishgenealogy.ie and did not find the marriage record.
See second record James died in 1938 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…
last record Sarah died in 1940 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…; Looks like one of her daughters married an O'Connor
What other records do you need.
