Hi,

It was about 5 years ago if that's any consolation :-)

I think the problem is when you're looking through parish registers, that
it's clearly easy to miss the name you're looking for, as I did. I was
convinced there wasn't a single Peter Tobin with a father Michael in the
whole of Wexford, but the database search proved me wrong. You might find
that if they married in 1839 that they come from a parish that the registers
don't go far enough back in. My Clare family only start appearing in parish
registers from the 1850s.

I'm sure something will come up one day!

Vicki
