Hi alviegal
Thank you for the lookups, I have all the documents you have found for me, I think there was no metion of James or Catherine (she was his daughter) on his military records because they were not dependant on him whereas Thomas was. His age does vary according to his records he was 47 years old when he was drafted which seems a bit old for a soldier but I know lots of men lied about their age. It is the marriage cert and James Conways birth I am after both in America. Thanks for your help
Cathy

I wonder if someone who as access could do me a lookup for a marriage in New York. The marriage was between THOMAS CONWAY BORN 1869/71 IN IRELAND to MARY MORAN BORN 1868/71 IN IRELAND. They were married in NEW YORK IN APRIL 1894/96. Could I also ask if anyone could do me a look up for their son JAMES CONWAY BORN 1897/98 IN CHESTER PA. Thank you in anticipation. Cathy Heggie(Conway)
