Hi  MyLuck,
I had a look at the parish book online and it appears just as I wrote earlier.  If it wasn't for the bride and grooms addresses and details I would be inclined to dismiss it as another couple.  Oh well another of life's little mysteries.
Thank you for telling me of your experiences.

Hi Sheila,
Yes, my certificate has an extra column on the lefthand side but that just adds to the confusion in that the date it was registered by the Registrar is the 28th May, 1903 while the church book shows 17th May, 1903.  Also the certificate says the priest that married them was James Flaven and the church book says he was John Flanagan.!!  I know irish research is hard but this is plain daft.
Thanks for your interest..

Hi DudleyWinchurch,
I have a copy of their marriage certificate from the GRO in Roscommon and one that I downloaded yesterday from the church records site. The GRO cert. gives that date of marriage as 29th April 1903, the church records give it as 17th May.  I looked in the church register page on the church record site and it has the date of 17th May, and although the bride and grooms names and addresses are the same it could almost be another couple going by the names of the witnesses,  just wondered if it was the norm at that time.

Dublin / Dublin marriage
« on: Thursday 06 October 11 15:13 BST (UK)  »
Can someone help please.  I have a marriage certificate for my grandparents which shows them as married in the Pro Cathedral on 29th April 1903, with witnesses James and Charlotte Brittain (uncle and aunt of the groom).  Yesterday I came across their wedding on the free church records site.  According to the information on there they married on 17th May, 1903. The brides mothers name is given as Mary Hurley when she was in fact Mary Toole, and the witnesses are John and Ellen Sheehan.  Names that I have never heard before.  Was it usual to have two ceremonies about this time, one civil and one religious at a later date?  When I got married about 48 years ago, admittedly in England, the registrar came to the church and married us in a civil ceremony immediately after the the church ceremony.  What was the norm in Ireland at that time?

Dear Quaxer,
Thank you for the explanation. I guessed that some editions must have gone missing, anyway considering my gt.grandfathers criminal record perhaps it's just as well.!!
Cheers,
Maureen

Hi Quaxer,
I have taken a 24 hour sub. to the Irish Times and found the report for the 17th July about the milk, but it doesn't seem as if there was a paper published on 7th March, so I can't find the second report or am I reading it all wrong?
Cheers, Maureen.

Dear Quaxer,
Thanks for the Irish Times references, although shame over their contents.

Dear Quaxer,  Family history has had to go on the back burner recently and I have only just read your message about my gr,grandfather, Thomas Phillips of 26 Chamber Street and his mis-deeds.  Could you please let me know where these reports are to be found.
Thanks, Maureen.

Re No.26 Chamber Street, The Irish Times shows that Thomas Phillips was charged on 2 occasions with offences relating to his dairy in 1873 and 1888. Revert if you require the references.

Regards

Hi Matt,  I notice you are researching the Bennell family in Bucks.  My gt.grandmother was Ann Bennell, she married William Dudley on 3.10.1866. They were both from Stokenchurch. If this is relevent to you I also have a little more info. about the family.
Cheers, Maureen.
