Post by: cax on Saturday 30 June 12 21:26 BST (UK)

I was told Andrew Hogg married Elizabeth Connor in St. Annes Church, I believe it was a Catholic Church
my Hogg family as far as I know were Presbyterains. in 1855, how could they be William Hogg who married Mary Jane Moody, parents??? There was an Andrew Hogg, who lived on Roddenfoot street Ballymoney. thanks cax

St. Annes = Church of Ireland, not Catholic.

Hi,
    Re the Hogg/Connor marriage in St. Annes Church of Ireland on 1 Dec 1855 - The fathers' names were John Hogg and Edward Connor.

Regards

Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church, so whilst Elizabeth may have been Church of Ireland, Andrew could well have been of another denomination eg Presbyterian.
