Not sure if this will help you but recently I had been looking for the marriage of great grandparents who were both born in Ireland. All of their children were also born in Ireland. I finally located information that they were married in England and then returned to Ireland where she gave birth 3 months later. Do not know why. Perhaps it is the same for you and they were married outside of Ireland.
Hope you find the information you seek.

Do you know if your David born 1853 got married and had a daughter, Martha who married Richard Sharpe?Richard & Martha married 11.11.1893 in Belfast, Gt Victoria St Presbyterian church.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1893/10612/5866385.pdf. I am trying to find who Martha’s mother was and David’s family. I have searched all Martha’s born between 1872-1881 but have not found one born on the dates we have for Martha’s birth 20th of February 1878 even though marriage certificate would indicate 1873

Not sure if knowing the names of their children would help identify their family but I understand there is a naming protocol. Not sure if anyone ever chose not to follow it.

Ireland / Re: Daniel boyd

I’d like to thank you for taking the time to share. Unfortunately neither is ‘our’ Martha Boyd. The birthdates are wrong. We have been working on finding her family for 3 years now. Researchers on Ireland Reaching Out have assisted for the past 18 months going by her year of birth we have in the family papers( putting her at approximately 14 years of age) as well as using 1873(to match her age of 20 yrs old on marriage certificate) and have finally given up. They suggested it was possible that she was illegitimate and put down any name so as not to be embarrassed. It has also been suggested I check within a variety of groups to see if any information or a family member could be located.
I will continue to pursue this search.
Thank you again.

I am looking for information on Martha Boyd, born February 8,1879. She married Richard Sharpe 11.11.1893 in Belfast, Gt Victoria St Presbyterian church. Both parents born in Co. Down, and until they emigrated to Canada we’re living in Belfast.

From the marriage information we know her father was David Boyd but other than the possibility of him being a boarder in a census report, we have no information on him. We do not know who Martha’s mother is, have been unable to locate Martha’s birth records etc.
Any assistance in how to pursue this line of inquiry regarding my family history would be greatly appreciated. Martha is my father’s grandmother, his mother was Elizabeth who later married an Englishman, Alfred Charles Andrews in Winnipeg Manitoba.
Thank you
Kimberly
