Thank you all for your very swift and informative replies, unfortunately as I suspected!
I realise that not all couples married but with them being Catholic I thought it more likely they were. Although they were both born in Liverpool, both sets of parents were from Ireland so maybe they popped over there to marry, or more likely their records were destroyed in the bombing of Liverpool.
Thank you all again

Thank you all soooo much for your taking the time. They are all brilliant!
Best regards,

Hello, I am still trying to find details of the marriage of Mary Ann Eustace & Michael Hughes.

They were both born in Liverpool, Mary on 8th November 1851 and Michael on 3rd August 1843.

Their first born son, John Eustace Hughes, born 25 April 1876, was baptised at St Sylvester (Sylvestri), Lancashire on 27 April 1876 which suggests that theirs was a Catholic Marriage.

On 26th June 2012, I received a reply to my original request from Colin D Gronow:

'They had 5 children baptised at St. Peter's Priory Roman Catholic Church, Seel Street, which would also confirm a Catholic marriage, but where?

I've not searched for Catholic marriages before, but I have found 1 which might be worth a look,

In Ireland Civil registration indexes for Dublin South in 1874 a Michael Hughes & a Mary Anne Eustace both sharing the same Digital Folder No. & Film Number, perhaps they went to Ireland for family reasons. Perhaps someone on Rootschat with more experience of the Irish BMD's might have a look at this entry, though I could be completely wrong of course.'

Further to Colin's reply, I received an email from a very helpful lady, Claire, at Irish-genealogy-toolkit.com who confirmed that although they share the same Digital Folder and Film Number, the different volume and page numbers show that the two marriage records do not relate to the same marriage.

Almost 8 years have elapsed and I am no further on!

Any inspired (or otherwise!) thoughts, please?

Thank you

Thanks for taking the time.

John
