Title: DILLON, McGUCKIAN Garryduff Co. Antrim
Post by: JLB211077 on Tuesday 09 March 10 12:29 GMT (UK)

Cannot find marriage or death reocrds for the following 2 people:

John Dillon b.1829 Co. Antrim, Farmer, Garryduff, Co. Antrim - but I cannot find marriage or death info. I know he died after the 1911 census of Ireland and he married after the 1851 census of Antrim. He married an Ann McGuckian who I can't find any reference to either other than she died prior to the 1911 census.
Anybody able to help?

If they were married in a Catholic ceremony before 1864 then it will not appear in civil index (registration of non-Catholic marriages started earlier in 1845).

Yes they probably did marry pre1864 as the first child was born 1856.
