Thanks - I'm not sure that it really gives me anything more in my search - but I appreciate you taking the effort to look it up for me.

Cheers...

I bet that marriage is theirs.  I don't know much about mixed denomination marriages and whether he would HAVE to be baptised before the event.  As I said, that church was probably only across the river and she may have come from that Parish.
As for the will, they are supposed to be coming online soon, but I have had wills photocopied by PRONI and posted to me.  I sent a request on their Contact email address and asked them to send me an invoice.  They did that, with a reference number on it, I sent them a cheque and bingo.  Maybe someone on this site knows when the wills are coming online.  You should be able to find them on the 1901 census if we can find their address in that year. Onwards.  RosemaryJoan

What was the name of the priest?? Who were the witnesses?? at that marriage. St. Matthew Catholic Street is in Bryson Street, Belfast, but just across the river in Co. Down. They have a website which tells us that their records are all with AncestryIreland and that there were no fathers names in the early records, just witnesses.  Did the priest write anything in the notes at the bottom of the page? There were McKeowns living there in 1861.  See LennonWylie Street Directory for Ballymacarret Village. Also the death of Robert McQuitty was not a will entry.  It was a death record in Belfast City.  Look at deaths in AncestryIreland. RosemaryJoan

The record is pretty rubbish to be honest. There is not even a name for the priest. The witnesses were ANTHONY MCONAGHY and MARGARET MCONAGHY.

Yes I think that is probably their marriage - not too far over the river.

I looked up the Church but they appear to be not doing searches until sometime in the new year due to renovations - although it does say the records are with Ancestry Ireland. I bet that record is not complete there must be more - even if it is only the name of the priest. Maybe the record was not very readable.

In the comments it has "ce 1 0 0" - thats it !!

I suppose if I found the local graveyard then they both might just be buried there and that might have more information. I'm guessing that Robert was probably born around 1840.

A few loose ends to tie up there...

Where can you lookup census information from 1901 - I only seem to be able to find 1911 ?

Thanks...
