Does anyone know anything about HENRY ORCHIN and Sarah McCann? They may have got married in Ireland in the early 1840's, when Henry appears to have arrived in Ireland. They had at least 9 children. Henry spent some time in the Shankill area, Lurgan, Co. Armagh. He spent the latter part of his life in the Shankill area of Belfast. He died in Belfast in 1881 and is buried in the City cem.
Perhaps someone in the Irish Orchin family will have the answer to Henry's marriage.

Does anyone have any info. re. a marriage between Sarah Jane McCann and Henry Orchin? Most of their children were married in Belfast. They are both buried in the City cemetery. Henry may have been born about 1819.
I'm hoping one of their ancestors in Northern Ireland may have the answer. :)

What religion were they? That would narrow down the parish/church they married in.

Protestant.

Thank you. Yes I have that info. My family are descended from that son. On one birth record in 1845 they were at Shanes's Castle, Antrim. Henry always worked as a Coachman. His son George was apparently born in 1841 in Co. Down. So there may be a marriage in 1840 or earlier tucked away in some church records. I had hoped that by putting the request out on the Belfast Forum that I'd get lucky. Rumour has it that Henry came from England. His death records in 1881 give his age as 62. (b.1819). There was a Henry in London b.1811 but I can find nothing after that date. I'm also hoping someone is researching McCann and I might get a clue there.
Thanks again.
