I too would be suspicious of the info you found on a tree. The Gazetteer on Yorkshire Genuki  does not recognise Woldale as a Yorkshire place name/location and a google search brought up a reference to a place in a work of fiction, believed to be based on a place in Lincolnshire, not Yorkshire. There are people named Berry in East Yorkshire (a couple married into one of my lines) but they were around in the 1800's and theories on their pedigrees can be checked in civil registration, parish registers, and other recognised primary source documents. How far back along the line have you got by using primary sources as evidence?

Boo, thank you so much for your time.
I agree with your summary and I strongly suspect that they just didn't bother, which is really aggravating because the names of the fathers would have helped me enormously. I've been searching for 30 years for the Michael & Julia marriage and have even had a few trips to the National Library in Dublin - all to no avail!
I suppose Newcastle was a large place, with lots of comings and goings, making it more difficult for the priest to keep tabs on everyone. 

Thanks Boo.
As you will see in my post above, the first child of Catherine Dunn & Mr Hogan was bp a Hogan, but  registered as a Dunn. His death was registered in the same quarter (Dec 1855.) The next child was registered as Hogan, mmn Dunn in 1856, so theoretically (ha ha)  there should have been a marriage between the two births.
I know nothing about Julia Dunn prior to the 1860 birth of her first child; however, I think Michael McDonough was probably in the city in 1851  census, possibly with two siblings, their widowed mother and other McDonough relatives. So, my guess is that Northumberland was the most likely venue for their marriage, if  indeed they bothered.
In 1861 this couple shared a multi-occupancy residence with a third couple (McDonoughs) and their month old child. The child was registered as McDonough, mmn Parker. Later in 1861 this Mr McDonogh and Miss Parker married in Middlesbrough, before moving to Scotland.

Yes, mangled and morphing names (both forenames & surnames) and no knowledge of years of birth doesn't make it very easy, does it?

Without a specific parish in Ireland, Irish research is tricky. However, over the years, NOTHING has ever come up for either pairing in any index of Irish records, or UK for that matter.
I have now reached the conclusion that the parish priests were probably more focussed on baptisms of children rather than on the marriages of the parents.

The LDS have them but you would need to go to one of their Family History Centres to view them. There seems to be nothing on line.

Thanks for your response. The FHCs nearest to me have very limited opening hours and therefore are inaccessible by public transport. So I usually arrange to visit one when on holiday.
I was hoping that there may have been something online for St Mary's, which I'd not discovered. As nothing shows up for my couples on the LDS site, apart from the baptisms of the children, I suspect they never married, but you know how we always live in hope that the record we would like eventually turns up somewhere!
