Title: George Lanaghan Marriage Prescot
Post by: schooly on Tuesday 01 June 10 21:23 BST (UK)

I am searching for look up information on the wedding of Gearge Lanaghan or Lanigan to Ann Flemming which took place in 1874 in the Prescot District.

What I am looking for is:

the Church they were married in, probably RC
and if there is any mention of the names of the best man and bridesmaid.

I think that both bride and groom were born in Ireland and up to now I have been mistakenly searching for the marriage in Ireland

Thanks

The marriage is on
www.lancashirebmd.org.uk
1874....it states Register Office or Registrar attended....so probably as you say a catholic Church...it is NOT on lan-opc....Prescot covered anything from Woolton ( now part of Liverpool ) to Farnworth (now part of Widnes ) to Hale Village .....so it`s a large area to cover for Catholic Churches....allan :)

Thanks Allan

I suspect the marriage was in a catholic church in St Helens.

If I visited Prescot Registrar's office and purchased a certificate, would it indicate any more than is on the BMD index?

I received a copy of George & Ann's marriage certificate today from Prescot Registery Office.

They were married in Holy Cross Church St Helens 4 October 1874 and as I suspected, Teresa who was Ann's sister and also my great grandmother, was the bridesmaid. Result!

Many thanks for all your help

Jim

Hi
New to this forum, just researching my Lanigan tree. This topic has me interested, my great great grandfather was George Lanigan, he married Anne Fleming, and she had a sister Theresa! I think we're talking about the same couple. I know their son George, my grandfather was born in Lancashire (Lancashire keeps appearing on both sides of my family) I don't know when,  they all returned to Ireland, but my grandad was bought up in in Inistioge, Kilkenny. I was wondering if you had any other information on this couple, photos? I have photo of George. We know barely anything about them. Thanks

Hi Blueboggirl,

This is definitely the same couple as I'm descended from Anne's sister Theresa. I've done a bit of research on the Lanigan family myself and I'd be interested to hear from you.

Best Wishes, John.
