Title: John Greany m Grace Green in Mallow 1859
Post by: irishbones on Monday 12 July 10 14:57 BST (UK)

We are searching for any information on my husband's great grandparents., John Greany and Grace Green  They were married in Mallow in 1859   We do know they came to the states  sometime.    There was a son, Thomas Grover Greany,  born in Mt. Clemens Michigan.  John Greany worked on the railroad and lived many places.   We know he had another son, William Francis Greany.

This obviously was posted on the wrong site.  I will try again somewhere else.

Not to worry, I've moved your thread from Cork Resources to Cork board.

do you know what religion John and Grace were ?

If they were RC then their marriage will not be included in the Civil BMD Index, so parish records would be required. The only source for parish records for that part of Co. Cork available online at the moment is the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.irish-roots.ie

I found two similar extracted marriage records for the couple, and a corresponding Civil Marriage, which means it was not an RC Marriage. One of the records is missing the day part of the date, but the other details match up ok.

Extracted Marriage Records (familysearch)

 Groom's Name: John Greany
 Bride's Name: Grace Green
 Bride's Age: 19 (c1840)
 Marriage Date: 20 Feb 1859
 Marriage Place: Mallow, Cork
 Groom's Father's Name: Patrick Greany
 Bride's Father's Name: John Green
 Groom's Marital Status: Single
 Bride's Marital Status: Single
 Reference Number: 11

(Familysearch Collection name : 'Ireland Marriages, 1619-1898' - the title is a little misleading, this collection includes marriages between 1864 and 1870 - and not all are included)

Civil Index Records

 Name: John Greany
 Registration District: Mallow
 Event Type: Marriage
 Year: 1859
 volume : 8 / page : 11

 Name: Grace Greene
 [same index details]

The matching reference page number (11) can help verify that it's the same civil record.  You can order a marriage cert with the references mentioned on the Civil Index record - see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433040.0.html)
