Title: Marriage in Cork 1870's
Post by: turtle on Thursday 18 June 09 13:10 BST (UK)
Hello

Has anyone got access to indexes for Cork which might show a marriage for a Margaret Mary Quinn to a groom with the surname Lyons, circa 1870's ? 

She may have been born  1850's.

Also looking for a birth for a James Fletcher born in Northern Ireland about 1865 , father's name Edward.    :)              These two married in Adelaide Australia in 1886.


Any help much appreciated   :D

Familysearch has an Irish Civil index available at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347

I had a quick look for possible marriage records for Margaret -  3 promising results for the 1870s...

Name: Margaret Quinn   Reg.district: Mitchelstown
quarter / year: 1872
Volume: 4 / Page: 844

Name: Margaret Quinn      Reg. district: Kinsale
qtr/year: Jan - Mar 1879
Vol: 5 / page: 335

Name: Margaret Quin      reg dist: Mitchelstown
quarter and year: 1871
Vol: 9 / Page: 416

I dont see a cross-match on a Lyons entry at the moment..

Hello

Many thanks for the replies,   

I am in New Zealand and don't have access to Irish indexes,  certainly the record for James Fletcher born in Antrim 1868 is a good possibility, to narrow the field are there many other Northern Ireland  birth records for James Fletcher ( around 1865 )where the father is Edward ?? 

Are there any Irish birth indexes on CD ?

I also need to find passenger lists for migration to South Australia circa 1886 

Are there any birth records for Margaret Mary Quinn in Cork  circa 1852 ?

Many thanks    :D

Hi,
   Civil registrations of births in Ireland only started in 1864 so we have to depend on church records. I have searched Emerald Ancestors and the IGI with no success. The nearest I could find in Ireland was a James Fletcher, born in 1865, whose father was Edmund but he was born in Galway which is not Northern Ireland.

Regards
