Matilda Wiley

Could anyone suggest how I could find out more about my great great grandmother Matilda Wiley. On my great grand parents marriage certificate 24 Dec 1880) the name of Matilda's father is missing. It just says "farmer". My great grandparents were married in Killelagh Parish Church of Ireland in Londonderry.  Any help would be appreciated. Matilda was married to Robert Mellon.

Hi,
    I am a bit confused by the number of "greats" used to describe Matilda but I have a record of the marriage of Robert Mellon to Matilda Wilie (sic) in Killelagh Church of Ireland on 12 DEC 1854

Hello Mary,
Thank you for your reply. I am so grateful, but would just love some documentary evidence for Matilda's father. Do you have this?

Matilda's marriage is after the start of civil registration and will list her father's name and occupation (father's name given by Mary above).
Index to civil registration is online and once you find the year, registration district, volume and page numbers you can order the marriage certificate if you are interested in documentary evidence.
