Find Ancestors

And a Happy New Year to you all.

Am trying to find a Primmer Family. Have tried Ancestry and Free BMD but they do not appear, as believe they may be Irish.

The only information I have is

Maureen Primmer DOB 1927? married Terence C McDonough in ireland (maybe Newry County Down)in 1954.
She had a brother Thomas E Primmer DOB 1937? who married a Joan McDonough in Gloucestershire England in 1962, (have found this marriage in Ancestry) and they had a child Ashley in 1966)

Maureen's parents were Edward Primmer who married a lady called Ida.

I know its not much to go on, but maybe someone has access to a better Irish Geneology Data Base.

Many Thanks in anticipation
Terry Norman

Click on Research family history at GRONI then click on Go to GRONI online.

You have to register and buy credits; up to 200; credits cost 40p and 5 paid for a view of an original death entry. You cannot print or download the image. The certs can be ordered on line for £8.

It does have time restrictions on what can be viewed: births- 100 yrs; marriages - 75 yrs; deaths 50 yrs; so her parents' marriage should be available.

A search brings up one marriage for an Edward Primmer between 1923 & 1927 - sorry, but I don't have credits to view

Thankyou Jacqueline and Potty for assistance. Yes Jacqueline, I believe Joan McDonaugh may have been born in India, as I know her bother terence was (1933)

Have you tried to locate Joan?

Born in 1940, she's probably alive, and possibly able to give you info about her husband's family

As neither of Edward's parents was Irish, you will be able to work back now

Once again. Thankyou very much for your assistance.
