Donnolly's, Keenans, Millers Northern Ireland

[kentishbear]

a long shot here.. but anyone know of any of the above surnames in or around Belfast, (County Antrim) Ireland at the begining of the 1900s

My Grandfather Henry Anthony Thomas Miller was born in Belfast in 1915.

When he moved over to England just before WWII he met and married my grandmother.. but because she was Church of England and he was a Catholic his family disowned him from that day.

i have been doing my family tree and i have all the information i need from all sides apart from the Irish side... i know he had several brothers and sisters.. and his mothers maiden name was Donnolly and his grandmother was a Keenan.. can anyone help at all?

all the records from Northern Ireland to appear to be hard to find because of all the troubles there in the 1920 Thanks again

the Catholic Church did not send its registers to the record office, they therefore remain intact, you need to use the available sources for researching catholic parish registers.

modern research techniques and recovered and enhanced sources are available.
