Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: Marriage in Ireland?

Hi Sinnan, her surname has been spelt differently several times during my research, it has been, Purdham, Purdam and also Purdom.
I have downloaded the form now that I need to apply for the certificate, I will send that off today and then wait!

Thank you for that information, as you say I think the key is going to be the marriage certificate, I need to find a contact for the registry office there now!

I also have the same problem, my gt grandparents George Wilson and Mary Ann Purdham went from Kirkcudbrightshire to Cork to marry, the father's of both of them went as well, this was in 1968, on the 1871 census they are now living in Cheshire, also one child Isabella born 1868 in Westward, Cumberland, and Julia Annie born 1871.
My parents did talk about a monthly payment being made from the Haig family ( whisky distillery) until the day that she died, but I don't know which child they refer to.
But why did they need to travel to Ireland to wed?
I suspect that the fact they ended up working in a manor house a long way from home was arranged, why?
