Title: Minerva 1814 Dublin - regiment? Barracks? Camp?
Post by: Rowan on Sunday 06 March 16 13:51 GMT (UK)
Hi

1814 Ann Wildrick (daughter of Mary) married Edward Dogherty, November 9 at St Mary's RC church, which I think was Haddington Road, Dublin (please correct if wrong.)

There's a note in the register which says NB He belongs to the Minerva - word then looks like Catton (battalion? Camp?) and had a certificate from his captain Captain McGhee.

I've tried google but can't find anything to help. Just wondered if anyone knew what this was?

thanks

Rowan

That's a possibility - thanks for such a quick reply.

What would happen to his wife then if he was a sailor - wait at home till he came back?

The Minerva was decommissioned 1814/15 and broken up in 1815. Perhaps our man was discharged as part of the the reductions on the coming of peace.
