Hi
I have found a marriage certificate in which the brides residence is recorded as Military Cemetery, Cork. The marriage is between Robert Oakley Chislett corp.19 Hussars res. Military Barracks, Ballincollig father William Oakley Chislett, Paymaster in the army. Bride is Margaret Elizabeth Logan res. Military Cemetery Cork, father John Logan Army Pensioner. The marriage took place on 16 Oct 1879 at St. Lukes, Cork.
I am very puzzled by how the the bride would have a cemetery as an address. I would also love to find out what happened to her. Chislett went on to serve abroad shortly after the marriage and I suspect he abandoned her or she may have died. I haven't been able to place her with Chislett on any subsequent records of his and when he married again in Aldershot in 1891 he stated he was a bachelor.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you

Maybe she was living at the lodge which was at the entrance to the Military Cemetery, Cork.

Victoria Barracks to the south-east.
No sign of a Margaret Chislett being deceased after 1879 according to IrishGenealogy.ie

On the older map the entrance to and a couple of buildings in the Cemetery are on Watercourse Mill Road.
This looks like the death of her father John with an address of Watercourse Mills Road.
