Thank you for your assistance. I will purchase a copy and see if it offers any additional clues.

Devon / Benjamin London Of Devon
« on: Tuesday 25 September 12 15:37 BST (UK)  »
Tonight I thought I had cracked my grail for my genealogy research, when I found the marriage record for my 4th great grandfather, Benjamin London.

The record was on Find My Past and the source was given as 'Devon Marriage Transcripts'. This marriage took place on 24 May 1816and he married Elizabeth Mary Jenkins or Jenkings.

I was disappointed to see that the parents of the bride and groom were not given. Would this info be recorded on the original parish record or were they not taking this information at this time?

Thanks for your help.

Galway / Re: Arthur Kelly b 1836 Margaret Martin b 1837 Help!

Thanks for that.

Their religion was Catholic. As for parish, that detail is lacking on the marriage cert I have.

I'm trying to find any registration for their arrival in Australia, but am having no success. I might be able to get parish records if I do.

I gather that both of their fathers were farmers.

I am probably clutching at straws here.

Galway / Arthur Kelly b 1836 Margaret Martin b 1837 Help!

I have an Australian marriage certificate for my 3rd great grandparents, Arthur Kelly and Margaret Martin. They married in Australia but the cert says they both emigrated from Galway. However, I cannot find a hint of them or their parents online.

Here is what I have - Arthur Kelly born 1836, father Brian and mother Mary.

Margaret Martin born 1837, father Walter Martin and mother Eliza Hynes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The marriage cert also suggests Arthur had a brother called Michael who was also in Australia to witness the marriage.

I have a lot of info once Arthur and Margaret get to Australia, as Arthur was on the local council and turns up in the newspapers a lot, in good and bad ways. But their time in Ireland is a total blank.
