I believe they went to the US (Philadelphia) shortly after their marriage. They had many children after arriving in the US.

I'm not 100% sure they are related to me, and the existing research I found isn't the most reliable.

I have relatives Catherine O'Hara born 1847 in the Ballina area and James O'Hara born 18 Nov 1852 in Bunree to parents James O'Hara and Kitty/Catherine Melvin. Catherine had several children in Bunree.

However, the civil marriage record for Mary lists her father as Michael O'Hara.

Mary's Philadelphia death certificate lists her mother's maiden name as Melvin, which would very likely make her related to me, but haven't found any other collaborating evidence. Which is why I was hoping the church marriage record would shed some light there.

Yes I am - thank you for sending that over. I was hoping to get an age and mother's name. I've seen that recorded in other church marriage records.

Also, I didn't realize Ardnaree was a rural area - I thought that townland was near Ballina?

Thank you!

I assume if there's no parent information on there, there would not be parent information on RootsIreland.ie's index, right?

Thanks!

Yeah that makes sense to me. I'm not expecting perfect spelling.

I'm more hung up on the Cuignalegan/Qualegan for Ellen vs Cuignalecca/Qualecca for their marriage and Pat's baptism.

Thank you.

Cuignalegan isn't too far from Cuignalecca either.

What's odd is the 1833 marriage record lists Qualecca and Pat's 1835 baptism record lists Qualecca.

However, Ellen's 1834 baptism record lists Qualegan. Maybe a mistake, or maybe they moved? Or maybe (less likely IMO) it's a different couple

Thanks.

If it helps, I found a sibling's record too:

Pat O'Hara, right side about midway, 8 April 1835 birth, 12 april baptism

Looks like Tualecca or Qualecca, perhaps?

Think it's also listed on the parents marriage record: https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634631#page/169/mode/1up (lower left)
