I have some interesting names in my tree.

Kilfedder, Kelfedder, Gilfeder, Gilfedder, Gilfeather

and all the variations for Mellefont eg. Mellanfant

Yes, I remember seeing that in Oz... will just check the Irish records again...

 

[horse]

Not on birth index for Sligo..

 

[DaveHam9]

Very odd family the Mellefonts in Ireland - you can get an idea of their political leanings from the middle names they chose - Peel, Gladstone, Eldon, ...

Hmmmm........

Thanks Geoff.

Most of the KILFEDERs born Kinlough, Co Leitrim. I have the dates but no source.

Those who didn't go to Australia died in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal.

Received an email today saying some Irish records are free to view on St Patrick's Day. Not sure if it means from now until 17 March or just on 17th.

 

[horse]

This could be the marriage, I used Ann Knox as the partner and it returned as ok..

Church Marriage Kelfedder John 1834 Co. Leitrim

 

[horse]

Yeah, I got an email too saying there was a 100 free entries or something, but it includes the index, which I think is free anyway, but don't quote me...

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, Geoff. Looks like CofI Cloonclare.

 

[DaveHam9]

When you register you are allowed 100 searches of the index. If SP did the same I would have needed 20 different email addresses. :biggrin:

Nothing on the home page re St Patricks Day.
