I have been trying to verify the Marriage of my GG Grand Parents, JOSEPH SPUNNER PALMER and Mary QUIN/QUINN without success. The details on his Death Certificate are:
JOSEPH SPUNNER PALMER, DATE OF DEATH 23 OCT 1868, GOVERNMENT FLAT, NEAR MAITLAND NSW. OCCUPATION FARMER, AGE 52
PLACE OF BIRTH GALWAY IRELAND
TIME IN AUST COLONIES ABOUT 26 YEARS IN THIS COLONY
FATHER SAMUEL JOHN PALMER, OCCUPATION MILLER
MOTHER ELIZABETH SPUNNER
PLACE OF MARRIAGE CHRIST CHURCH DUBLIN
AGE AT MARRIAGE 1833
NAME OF SPOUSE MARY QUINN
maybe they weren't married then? They definitely (re?)married 20 Nov 1843 at St Josephs Roman Catholic Church, MAITLAND, NSW, Australia.
Their son George was baptised: Area - DUBLIN (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. NICHOLAS
Baptism of GEORGE PALMER of N/R on 12 April 1841

HI, from your post I am presuming you have a marriage record for Christchurch Dublin. Why would they re-marry in Australia? :)

What denomination were Joseph & Mary Quinn? Where was Mary born?

Thank you for your reply. The verbal family history is that Joseph Spunner PALMER was a Protestant and he was disowned for marrying a Roman Catholic; but Joseph seems to be a Roman Catholic name. I have no confidence in verbal family history. They were married in a Roman Catholic Church in East Maitland, NSW, Australia.
