This was on this evening's local news, information sought on what the occasion pictured might be.  Also, can anyone identify the people or location for the other photo?

Pure guess but it might have been a well known person visiting the town,. and word got out about it.

Ireland / Re: Mixed C of I Catholic wedding late 1800s?
« on: Thursday 02 January 25 18:31 GMT (UK)  »
Well my first query fairly started an interesting debate. As it happened I imagined that it might be the case that the COI and the Catholic church were Episcopalian in nature ergo the marriage was able to go ahead. It was also the case that the same situation was the reason I cannot find a marriage for my Great great grandfather and his known Catholic wife.

Seems these marriages were pretty regular in those days. As I discovered that 3 COI brothers married 2 Catholic sisters, plus the Catholic sisters brother married their 2 husbands COI sister all in Saint Anne's. Which suggests the Catholic Church didn't seem to carry out such marriages around the late to early 1800 to 1900s? Or did they?

1870 and 1871 Marriage Acts define the legal position.
Before the 1870 Act, any marriage by a Catholic priest of a Protestant was legally null and void.

Thanks the 71 act explains the situation.

Ireland / Mixed C of I Catholic wedding late 1800s?
« on: Sunday 29 December 24 21:12 GMT (UK)  »
Have a question about mixed marriages around the late 1800s. Concerning a marriage between a Church of Ireland and Catholic. The marriage took place in Belfast St Anne's Cathedral where it states under licence? In fact the two people concerned brother and and the others sister also got married in the same church. And neither couple changed their religion. Does anyone know just what the ins and outs of this meant legally? As it where?

A big thanks to everyone who have tried to solve this mystery. Food for thought to try to unravel at this remove. Sadly for my need it just coincided with a birth record of my Great great Grandfather Edward from that very parish. At that very time line. But I also wondered about the Famine being maybe the main reason. But then again maybe not so much. But again thanks to all.
