Hello Everyone I wonder if anybody can help me ,my ggfather Llewellyn TURNER born Wrexham1848 his wife? MARY BRODIGAN born Drogheda Ireland1849 had their first son Thomas Edward Turner born 5 Rifle court Bradford in 1872 it states father working as Labourer in railway station.I have tried everything |I know to find out if they did get married I feel sure they would have done as Mary was R/C had all her8 kiddies christened R/c and sad to say she was buried an R/C when she was only46 years of age ,by this time they had gone back to Wrexham and she did have a priest to bury her although she lays in a chapel of wales churchyard.Its a sad tale because Lew ran off with a barmaid when his youngest was only 6 mths old but I would dearly love to make sure there was a wedding,Is there any R/C churches around the rifle court area in Bradford in the 1870,s I thank you all for reading this and would dearly love to hear back from somebody

Just a thought, If Mary was born in Ireland I think it would be reasonable to assume they may have married over there, with her family or in the family church maybe? (I say this as a family member of mine met his wife over here but they went back to Ireland to marry in the early 1900's but came straight back again!)
Unfortunatly I wouldnt know where to start searching for a marrage over there so maybe someone else could have a look?

Thanks for input I did try the church where she and her siblings were christened no luck Im afraid I know Lew was not a Roman Catholic I just thought as their first child was born in Bradford maybe that is the place for the wedding Im afraid he wasn't so nice to her I truly believe they did get married because he ran off and had 5 kids with the barmaid but they couldnt get married until Mary died Its a puzzle I do know the second son was born in Drogheda after that the rest in wrexham Thanks anyway I really would like to find an R/C church near Rifle Court and then I could maybe check the church reg Many thanks Bernie
