James (b1778) & Jane Conroy (b1801)
« on: Thursday 30 October 08 11:28 GMT (UK) »
James (1778-1854) & Jane (1801-76) moved to England (London) sometime before c.1830 (Daniel b.1831 Kensington). Census has them living in the East End, James as a "painter" & Jane from "Cork". They died in the East End (Jane in Stepney Workhouse). Any information on their life pre-1830 (e.g. marriage) would be appreciated. They are my ggg-grandparents.

To find a church record of the marriage you need to know either where it took place and check the records, if it exists, or know where they lived (parish if not townland not just 'Cork') and their religion and then check to see what church records in that area exist.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

thanks, aghadowey - I know nothing about James & Jane pre-1831 & my posting is a bit of shot in the dark in the vague hope that somebody on Rootschat has some info. I can add that they were Catholic (no surprise there).

I''ve reluctantly given up on this - as I've already said, my post here was a shot in the dark
