    There is an 1846 Presbyterian church marriage record for a Joseph Mills and Elizabeth Quinn on www.rootsireland.ie  This is a pay site to look at the record and I don't know if there would be any other information that would help you.


    The 1861 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing shows a Samuel Mills in Terrytole townland. There was also a James Quinn in Tattindonagh townland. Not sure how these two are related to Elizabeth and Joseph.

  • hi,

    This looks like the couples marriage record - you should be able to get a copy from Roscommon.

    It should show both fathers names, which Townland they lived in, plus the names of the witnesses.

    Name:     Joseph Mills
    Spouse's Name:     Elizabeth Quinn
    Event Date:     25 Aug 1846
    Event Place:     0275,Tedavnet,Monaghan,Ireland

    There was a James QUINN in TATTINDONAGH Townland, Tedavnet in Griffiths 1858-1860.

    I don't find the family in the 1901 Census.
