Hi

Yes it does look like they should be from Hampshire, but finding them is a problem!

Mary's address was 4 Portland Terrace on the wedding certificate .

Yes, Joseph McCormick age 40/42 in 1881 , shipwright/shipwright pensr and widower in 1871 age 32.
In 1851 Joseph (again in Orange St) age 10 with parents.
Can't find him in other censuses.

Hi AMBLY

Yes Catherine is my direct ancestor and her mother Mary too.

However I couldn't get any family with Mary on a census so thought I'd try
Thomas as a starting point instead.

Joseph McCormick married again in Portsea in 1874 and it looks like he and his new wife were the witnesses on Catherine's marriage in 1882.

Hi

I don't think it can be the same one because son John is 14 in 1871 and
so John is old enough to be on the previous census.
He should be age 4 and with his parents in 1861.

I've been going to sleep at night counting Thomas Carrols!

I've found a grocer called Thomas Carrol age 40 in 1861.
His wife called Joane (or possibly Irene?) age 38.
Both born Ireland.

The occupation and their ages mean they could be parents of Thomas and Mary.

BUT they were in Bristol at 1 Broadmead. (RG9 1720 f16 p1)

My head is spinning now and I would appreciate people's thoughts on this

That's clever to find that Jane of the 1889 marriage married to Henry McCloud.

I agree that her age and having later children makes her unlikely to be the right Jane.

Thanks

Poor John Biggs.

If those are Thomas and Jane and she married again in 1889, then she should be a widow on the 1881 somewhere.

Age on death for Thomas is a bit out. He was 32 in 1871 so should be 34 in 1873.

I've been trying to find another Thomas Carroll in 1871 born in Corfu or Greece
or with a wife Jane but no luck so far.

Getting Vernon John Carroll's birth certificate is a good idea to check mother's maiden name.

I reckon the orignal couple in 1871 had Thomas born Portsmouth and Jane and her father born Fareham, Hampshire.

I don't know when they died.

Thanks Ambly

and it looks like another member of the family's medals were sold too.

It's just occurred to me that if this is not the right family, then the Thomas Carroll born in Corfu should be on the 1871 census somewhere as well.

Can anyone spot him?

Yes it is the right marriage certificate.

Mary Carroll married Joseph McCormick in 1861 and daughter Catherine was born 29 April 1864 in Landport. Birth certificate gives the names of Mary and Joseph as her parents.
Then Catherine McCormick is with Thomas Carroll as his niece in 1871.

I wonder if 1841 Dorothy was married more than once?

Or as relationships are not given in 1841 it's possible Mary and Thomas are niece and nephew?
