I have come across this before. There were two churches in or around Limerick with the name St John's . One was RC and the other, which is where James Mayfield and Ellen Maria Frewen got married, was COI.

It looks like Limerick is the place to be looking.
Would I be able to get the marriage certificate from anywhere?

Marriage Certs are only available from the start of civil registration, which was in 1845 for non-Catholic marriages. Before this you will be looking for parish registers. Unless you can view the original, or a microfilm of it, these are usually available as transcripts of the records.

The only online source I know of at them moment for parish records for Limerick city is the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.rootsireland.ie  Note : early marriage records are often quite basic - so the record may only show date, names of the bride and groom, and witnesses (i.e. no parents or occupations)

After all this time, I revisited this side of my family tree with some of the older members of the family.  The story in the family is that my ggrandmother (Maria Frewen) attended a French Hugeneot church around Patrick Street near where the current Iveagh Buildings stand.  I have checked and can find neither a church (although St. Patrick's Cathederal did have a Hugeneot chapel), nor any mention of the surname Frewen as a Hugeneot name.

Donno,
See my response #12 earlier. The Huguenot suggestion is IMO a wrong lead. There was a William Samuel Frewen involved in a court case over an election (City Council?) in the 1850's in Dublin. He was a Relieving Officer (+/- Welfare Officer) in Meath St area (not far from Hannover Court/ Patrick St.) and was accussed of buying votes for his candidate.  What lineage have you got to date?

Its been a while now since I last looked at this side of the family.  To date I have discovered my gggrandfather William Frewen married Maria Bishop on 29/1871 (no helped by the fact that his surname has been recorded as Finen, Fruen and Fruin !!).  They had six children..Lucy born 1877 died 1878, John Joseph born 1872 died 1878, William born 1884 died 1945, Maria born 1878 died 1964, Julia born 1888 died 1931 and Frederick born 1885 died 1902.  All on Irish Genealogy.

I found the marriage for William Frewen & Maria Bishop and his father and mother are both listed.  They were William & Lucy Frewen and were living at 5 Wood Street.  William (their son) was listed as living at 5 Burkes Cottages on the marriage cert.  Would this have been normal, the fact that he was not living at the same place as his parents.  He was living at the same address as the two witness to the marriage - John and Agnes Bishop.  I actually have a photo of this Agnes Bishop which is great, but no other information on her.

I have really hit a blank wall with William & Lucy Frewen so any help at all would be great.
