    Default I can't locate birth year

    I'm trying to find a birth year for both John Doole and Nancy Corbett as well as any information on Parents
    John married Nancy on the 25th May 1877 in Dremore, Co Down in the Register area of Magherafelt. John's father was James Doole and Nancy's father was Andrew Corbett. Tia

    There is a tree on ancestry that has the following information for this couple
    John Doole
    BIRTH 1854 Magharafelt, County Down, Ireland
    DEATH 12 February 1899 Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland
    Father James Doole, mother Susan Hart.

    No further back on ancestry of James Doole.

    Nancy Corbett
    BIRTH 1860 Magharafelt, County Down, Ireland
    DEATH 20 May 1915 • Pneumonia and heart failure/Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland
    Parents Andrew Corbett 1834 - 1900 and Margaret Hughes 1840 - ?

    Father of Andrew, James Corbett
    Birth 1798 • Ireland
    Death 15 August 1887 • Ireland

    Mother Mary Ann McConnaughty
    1793–1880
    Birth 1793 • Ireland
    Death 1880 • Ireland

    The move to Scotland was sometime between 1877 and 1880 according to the births of the children of John and Nancy

    If you have access to ancestry you can view the sources on this tree for yourself as they do need checking out.

    First of all, birth registration only started in Ireland in 1864, so you will need to look for baptism records. (Unless they married when they were extremely young.)

    Did they marry in a church, and if so, which religion?

    Have you found John and Nancy in a census, to give possible years and places of birth?
