Title: Help!! Surname on marriage cert
Post by: familysearch2011 on Monday 26 September 11 13:06 BST (UK)

Hello,

Can anyone help in finding the surname of a witness on a marriage cert from Dublin in Oct 1911.
First name is Elizabeth.

Thanks

I would say Manion

I would second that - Manion

I think there's a faint i dot under the N of Hogan

I have Mannion/Manion etc. in my line and it just jumped out at me

Also look at the n & i in Daniel and the o & n in Hogan
They take the same lines and could nearly be superimposed

I agree with Manion. There is an Elizabeth Manion aged 65 living at Usher's Quay in Dublin who may fit the bill.  (1911 Census)

Like to thank all for their help.

It does look like Manion now that i know the name.
The marriage was performed in the Pro Cathedral so i'm now thinking how could this lady Elizabeth Manion living in Canal View Terrace be related to the bride. Ellen Donohoe who at the time of the marriage was living in Bickingham street.

Thanks again

could she have been related to the groom?
not all witnesses were one from each side
