MARRIAGE - Mary Ellen Daniels & Maurice O'(Connor)@1919

[R J]

Hello all you chatters.

Looking for help trying to locate information on the above names.  I have very little information to give.  I know that Mary ellen was born approx 1887  and she met my gggranddad maurice in Dublin where they had my grandmother Mary Ann in 1920.  They then came to Wales in 1921.  I believe that Maurice is from Carlow and is one of many tall brothers!!

i know that to find any ancestors/information i will need to invest in my gggrandparents marriage cert, but i am not sure how to go about finding it.  Silly i know as i have managed to trace my welsh/english ancestors back to 1793....comletely stumped with irish geneology.

Any advice/help fully appreciated, pointers most welcome.  Thank you in advance
RAchel

An index to Irish Civil BMD registrations is available at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

if you find a promising match you can order a cert by post from the GRO using the Index details - see www.groireland.ie

The 1911 census data for Dublin (and 8 other counties) is available online  at the National Archives website : http://census.nationalarchives.ie/

Other counties plus the 1901 data is due to follow.

much appreciated

Thanks again Shane

I have managed to locate their marriage will order cert tomorrow.  Any suggestions on census searches?

They may be easier to locate on the 1911 census once you know the fathers names & occupations from the marriage cert.

Do you know if Mary and Maurice were both born in Dublin ?

I believe Mary ellen to be born in Dublin , MAurice i believe to be from Carlow.  I estimated Mary ellen to born @1887 but through the site you reccommended found a possible birth of 1890, making @21 during the 1911 census.

i also have a likely birth for maurice in 1886.  The site you suggested was brilliant, i can't believe i have never used it before..thank you!! 
As you suggest it would be easier to wait for the cert, but there is something about finding it yourself.  It's not like i have the time to search either!

The age is a little bit out but there is only one good match for Mary in Dublin that I see :

Mary Daniels age 27 living with her brothers and sisters at 23 Sarah Place, New Kilmainham, Dublin

The Co. Carlow census data is not available online yet
