There is a death for a James in 1859 so that is a possibility but it is too early for an age to be given.

Re: James Mernagh - UPDATE

Just an Update ....

I have finally applied for and received the marriage certificate for James and Charlotte.

It states :-

25/3/1868  James Mernagh, born Co Mayo, father Edward Mernagh a Labourer.


Charlotte Bowley, born Ballybrack, father Charles Bowley, Blacksmith.

SO.....

I have the wrong family for Charlotte??

On the 1881 census, Charlotte states she was born in Birmingham, and the family I have for her, after researching is James and Ann Bowley, who I can't find after 1851 on the English census's.

James and Charlotte have a nephew living with them called Thomas Bowley in Birmingham on the 1891 census, he states he is born in Birmingham also.

When I sent off for the marriage certificate it is stated online it took place at Rathdown, but the certificate I have received states the marriage took place in Monkstown, Co Dublin.

Do you think its the right certificate???

I'm so confused by this family  ???

I though this certificate would help me in my search for James Family, but I have been able to find nothing on James, and it has thrown up queries for Charlotte.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks.

..


Rathdown is a registration district and this contains Monkstown

Monkstown is a village, townland and parish..

p.s. Irish marriage certs do not state where the bride & groom were born - rather their residences at the time of marriage

Shane,

Thank you, I'm so excited to finally get the certificate, that I didn't read it properly, it does say residence at the time of marriage - sorry.

But it is a different father than I have....

So Monkstown is in Rathdown, which in turn is in Dublin??

Both Monkstown and Ballybrack are in south county Dublin - not far from Dun Laoghaire/Kingstown

just to complicate things - the registration district of Rathdown includes area in counties Dublin and Wicklow...

Rathdown is one of those registration districts that is divided between counties.. but Ballybrack and Monkstown are definitely in county Dublin

Heywood,

Thanks for looking at my thread ...... again  ;)

His Occupation is a Labourer - not very enlightening I'm afraid.
