Hi,
Hopefully you can guys have better luck with this than I did.
My 3 times great grandmother Eliza Loughlin married Edward Connolly 10th October 1874. Her civil record gives her fathers name as James Loughlin and living at 25 Nicolas Street. When I looked to the parish record to find her mothers name the fun began.
It looks the scan of the page wasn't very clear and the image is a little unfocused. To make it worse don't think the handwriting is all that clear anyway.
I think the mothers name is Bridget. . . Dwyer's? . . . Sayer?. . . xxxyer?
I can't go any further back until I have her name. Admittedly, these are Famine generation reletives so there probably isn't much to find. . .
Any and all guesses welcome

Could it be Joyce?
-
Ahaha I've just found that it's in Dublin.
The marriage cert seems to say Father's name Jane?

Could it be Joyce?
I agree. the surname does look like Joyce. I'm not at all sure of the first name though :-\
(add - the surname in brackets below the line)
Sorry, Carol - last time I looked I thought you'd asked for the place.

I did Gadget ,wasn't sure if it Scotland or Ireland,then found the cert on the irish Genealogy site.

Your link does look like father's name is Jane though, doesn't it! Though it's probably Jame with an absent s :-\

Notice how there's a line through occupation,as though it either wasn't the dad's name,or he'd long gone and she didn't know his name?

The church record has him as Jacobii, so James. No mother's name recorded but I expect Miriam has seen this

I think this is more likely to imply he was unemployed. I have something similar elsewhere in my tree but I know the father in that case was an "invalid" after a stroke.

I think "Joyce" is looking like a good place to work from. I'll have to see if theres anything out there.
What do people think of "Bridget" as the first name?
Thanks everyone.

It does look a bit like Bridget but ??
How old was she and was she born in Dublin? I had a look through the baptisms but could only see two that didn't fit with her father's name .

So circ 1855-57, born Dublin.

This one in 1856 has Anna Boyle as mother:

Not sure as the marriage entries don't look like Anna or Boyle :-\
Added - another listing on the search has the same baptism in English not Latin with mn as Ann Bayde - a mistranscriptio, me thinks.

Eliza married a man who worked in Guinness. According to those records she provided a baptism record dated 23rd December 1850. A note says it was it was certified so the note taker must have seen the cert. There isn't any record of the cert itself.
