There is no address on the marriage cert.
But it was at: Ballycahane, Guilcagh, County Waterford. Some info I have:
"At 18, when he joined the RIC police force, he was described as 5’9 ¼”, a Protestant and a labourer. (RIC records HO184/21 no. 27425)
He was “registered” with the Royal Irish Constabulary on 21/01/1862 at 18 years having been “recommended” by B Thacker J.P.
On 08/06/1862 he was posted to (S) Tipperary
On 20/09/1864 he resigned saying that he was going to emigrate. Apparently this plan failed to materialise and he was re-engaged on 19/12/1864.
On 30/07/1865 he transferred to (N) Tipperary
By authority no. RENG67 26910, he was given permission to marry on 14/03/1872. His wife was Susan Smith from Tipperary. The marriage certificate says she was resident at Baylough and employed as a servant. He appears to have been stationed at Ballyporeen.
Their marriage certificate says that her father was William Smith, a woodranger probably from County Waterford. He was witness to the marriage together with a John Thompson.
They were married by licence at Ballycahane in the parish of Guilcagh in County Waterford.
On 01/06/1873 he was transferred to Kings County"
Regards
John
