Hi all, me again. I was wondering if there is any way of finding a original birth certificate or baptism records for Joseph Woods? I believe he was born in 1822 in Drumhaldry Co. Longford. Thanks to the help on here I do have his death record (31 January 1913 - Drumhaldry) and his wife Anne Simpsons death record (25 January 1900- Drumhaldry) and their marriage information (Mohill, 23 may 1855). I would love to find out what Joseph's parents names were, or if he possibly had sibling? I do suspect Joseph's father to also be called Joseph but that's because of the marriage certificate which unfortunately Anne Simpsons parents don't match what my family tree says but that now seems like a discrepancy, not sure how to go about figuring that out either. But any birth or baptism records for either Joseph Woods or Anne Simpson (unsure of when she was born but on the marriage record it states her father is James Simpson, however I have her parents down as Edward Simpson and Jane Nesbitt Mary Story, they had a son Pierce Simpson esq. Of Cloncorick Castle and Leintrim high sherriff 1836, he was born 10 August 1814 co. Leintrim and died 31 Aug 1875 Brighton and Hove Sussex England United Kingdom.)

Joseph Woods and Anne Simpson Woods had 3 daughter and 1 son, My great-great-grandfather Joseph Woods I believe born in 1881 Drumhaldry Co. Longford. Mary Woods possibly born in 1866 also Drumhaldry. Jane Woods born 17 November 1866 Scabby District, Cavan, Ireland. Anne Woods.

Any and all information regarding these family members are greatly appreciated! So glad to have found this page.

(Additional information I have on Joseph and Anne's son Joseph Woods my great-great-grandfather, he married Elizabeth Francis Kemp December 21 1908, Arvagh, country Cavan. He belonged to church of Ireland. He was farmers son and later a motorman. They had children who I have information on.)

All records and burial or gravesites also appreciated.. thanks again.

  • Information on Joseph Woods married to Anne Simpson from my last enquiry - The townland is Drumhalry in Killoe civil parish. Based on the 1901 and 1911 census data, the family was Church of Ireland. Records for the Killoe C of I parish start in 1825 and are available on the subscription site Roots Ireland. However, a search for Joseph's baptismal record was unsuccessful and since you believe he was born in 1822, he was born before available records.

    Joseph is shown in the 1853 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing in Drumhalry townland.
