MARTINS in cork 1850s/60s Mystery

[Dmartin]

Most of the Martins were catholic from that era.  I haven't  found Agnes birth in England ,even though she states England as her birth on the 1901 Irish census . Don't think she is on any census 1911.  I think my next move should be to get that marriage cert . Thanks again for the link Shane. I would think that is the marriage .

The IrishGenealogy website has many RC parish records for Co. Cork - mostly for South West county, but also some for the city - might be worth a try..

This looks like Agnes in 1911 - remarried http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Cork_No__6_Urban/Cook_Street/394071/

There are matching references on FamilySearch for Cork 1906 for  Agnes Hester Clements / Martin marrying Patrick Barrett. Cook St is a few hundred metres from the Grand Parade, the earlier address.

As well, have you considered that her birth could have been registered as Anne or another form of this name? The names Anne and Agnes are related.

Thanks to you all for help and advice. Have ordered copy of Agnes Hester Martin marriage cert  (waiting) , hoping i will get at least her father John Martin occupation. Which might lead me to a reason why he moved to Ireland between 1850s and 1870s. Still cannot find  any birth record for Agnes Hester Martin in anywhere .Have tried different variations

[Dmartin]

Have now got Agnes Hester Martin 1st marriage cert to Charles John Clements. States her father John Martin -Gentleman . Still cannot find birth for Agnes  or sibling Ebenezer John Martin . Agnes was married at Wesley Chapel Cork , and thanks again Sonas for the 2nd marriage to barret

There are some births listed around the right timeframe as 'Female Martin.' If any is in the right registration district it might be worth a go to order the cert.

Cook_Street

This shows a Martin family whom I know had a Greengrocer/Flower shop in the 1960's, 2 ladies & 1 gentleman quiet elderly at this time, all unmarried. May be a connection as Cook Street is quiet near Grand Parade that you mentioned for Agnes Hester Clements/Barrett.
