Looking for information on the Marriage of George Taaffe and Eleanor Tallon
they lived around Baggot Street or Fitzwilliam Street they were married around 1884, they had 3 children that I know of there could have been more. I have no information on Eleanor she may have come from Howth
I would appreciate any information on this family
Thank you Betty

I see two George Taaffe marriages in Dublin city around that time - one in 1885 as 'George Taaffe', and the other in 1884 as 'George William Emerson Taaffe', but neither seem to marry anyone with the firstname Eleanor or surname Tallon...
Do you have birth certs or baptisms for any of their children ?
Can you post the details..

This baptism fit's the parents names you mentioned ...
Mary Esther Taaffe - 4 Feb 1889 (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/ee394c0002060)
Parish : St. Andrew's RC
Parents : George W.E.F. Taaffe & Eleanor Tallon
there's an earlier baptism in the same parish that could be the same parents - but with the mother's name looking a bit different... or mistranscribed..
Joseph Fitzwilliam Taffe - 1887 (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/b295dd0266272)
Parents : George Fitzwilliam Taffe & Allen Sallora
one of the sponsors for this baptisms is a Jane Mary Tallon.

Thank you Shane.
George William Emerson Taaffe was born 1862 address Sandymount his father was Henry Taaffe his mother was Sophia Wilson
on the birth records I have for my grandfather his sister and brother the names are father George William Emersom Fitzgerald Taaffe mother Eleanor Tallon. my grandfather Joseph date of birth was 1887 Dublin South Mary Esther date 1889 Edmund 1885 George Emerson Married in 1884
unless I have the wrong Taaffe Family. my mother was Mary Esther her father was Joseph.
Thank you Betty

The Mary Esther Taaffe 1889 is the same one but the Joseph Fitzwilliam Taafe 1887 I have pondered for a long time the name Allen Sallora baffles me as does the Jane Mary Tallon. there is a mix up somewhere.

.. I have pondered for a long time the name Allen Sallora baffles me as does the Jane Mary Tallon. there is a mix up somewhere.
....
that look to me like that record was difficult to read ... the godparent name would suggest it was Tallon. Unfortunately there are no register images available for St. Andrew's RC at the moment..
here's a possible marriage...
Name: Eleanor Tallon
Registration district: Dublin South
Event type: Marriage
Quarter and year: Apr - Jun 1884
Volume : 2 / Page : 567
I'll see if there's a Taaffe cross-match...
Have you found George and/or Eleanor on the census returns ?
Shane
-
Marriage for GeorgeWilliam Emerson Taaffe is Apr./June 1884 Dublin South volume 2 page 576
Eleanor Tallon Apr - Jun 1884 Dublin South volume 2 page 567
-
Tried the census never found them I thought perhaps they died. the Eleanor Tallon marriage could be the one
you are very kind thank you

re aghadowey's post...
just spotted that and came to the same conclusion ... think the digits in the page got swapped on one of those records... either when FamilySearch transcribed them or in the original GRO index.
Shane
-
I think George's index details might be correct as there seems to be a missing bride on the same page and on Eleanor's page too many brides.
-
Since there is such a mix up with names I am at a loss. the other names associated with the Taaffe name on our side I hope they are.
Emersom could be connected to the Wilson family
Tallon Great grandmother
Fitzgerald connected to who
Then there is Thomas Caulfield Irwin he could have been related to the Tallons.
Thank you both for your work your the best

Thought you'd figured out the Emerson connection long ago :-\ "Letitia's uncle was John Emerson Wilson" (Letitia being the daughter of Henry Taaffe and Sophia? Wilson)
There was a poet named Thomas Caulfield Irwin-

Thank you aghadowey I knew who Letitia was and did figure that Emerson was on her side but no-one ever spoke of the family or who maybe connected to our side. I am finding this out as I go along.
Thank you for your help
