Seeking information Martin Pembrick/Pembroke married Elizabeth Nowlan circa 1880
-
have you searched for the marriage on the BMD Index ?
There's a possible marriage listed in Gorey district in 1882 that might be worth checking out.
name: Martin Pembroke
registration district: Gorey
event type: Marriage
quarter and year: Oct - Dec 1882
volume: 2 / page : 709

there's a possible cross-match for that marriage :
Name: Elizabeth Nolan
Registration district: Gorey
Event type: Marriage
Quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1882
Volume number: 2 / page:709
p.s. I presume you already have the 1911 census for Martin and Elizabeth - shows them married 27 years, so c1884 - see : link (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wexford/Marshalstown/Ballywilliamroe/677594/)

thank you - because it an unusual name wondering if there is any more Pembrick other that in Ballywilliamroe and Enniscorthy
-
not that many Pembroke or similar in Co Wexford on either the 1901 or 1911 return.
Other than Martin, Elizabeth and their Nephew in 1901, there's a family in Enniscorthy a Tipperary born Margaret Pembroke in Johnstown, and an Annie Pembroke in Tomadilly. In 1911 there's just the Ballywilliamroe and Irish Street, Enniscorthy Pembrokes.
see 1901 Pembr*k* (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=1901&surname=pembr*k*&exact=&firstname=&county=Wexford&townland=&ded=&age=&sex=&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving=&birthplace=&language=&deafdumb=&search=Search&sort=&pageSize=50) 1911 Pembr*k* (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_year=1911&surname=pembr*k*&exact=&firstname=&county=Wexford&townland=&ded=&age=&sex=&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving=&birthplace=&language=&deafdumb=&search=Search&sort=&pageSize=100)
The BMD Index shows a few more Pembroke listings in the area with about 45 in total in the Enniscorthy district and just the one in Gorey district (Martin's marriage). Just 2 entries that I can see as Pembrick - both marriages in Enniscorthy in 1864 and 1875.

thank you for your help I think the marriage of Martin in the Gorey area is Martin that lived in Ballywilliamroe as his wife was originally from Monaseed

Tomahurra, I have just joined this site when the Pembrick/Pembroke/Ballywilliamroe post came up in a google search. I do have a little further information on this family if it is still of interest. Martin Pembroke was my Great Uncle and his father, Michael Pembroke was my Great Great Grandfather.
-
And the Irish Street Pembrokes mentioned by shanew147 are my great grandfather, Joseph Pembroke and my grandmother, Sarah Pembroke. My father, Michael Doyle, also grew up in that house.
-
A couple of further pieces of information on the Pembrokes... One of my grandmother's uncles, John, emigrated to Australia, and one of her brothers, Joseph, followed in the 1920's. I also just discovered that another uncle, James, emigrated to Canada (where I have now lived for many years) in the 1860's. That was never previously known in my family. There were very few Pembrokes in Wexford - in fact all of them are probably descended from Michael (c.1806 - 1880). There are quite a few more in Kilkenny and Kerry so that is likely where Michael hailed from, though I have yet to make that link. And I had a couple of very interesting finds on a recent trip to Ireland.
