John DWYER /Mary Redmond

[wise1]

Hi Everyone,

I am starting my family tree on my Grandfathers side today , & have Census information from England 1871 to start .

So this would be my GGGF . His name was John Dwyer born around 1842 in Dublin. His wifes name was Mary Redmond

My Aunt , says she can remember a wooden policemans whistle from the time that our ancestors were in Dublin .

Can anyone recommend or suggest how I could find any information on this connection?

Both John and Mary were born before the start of Full Civil Registration (1864) so you will need to research parish records - see : Introduction to Irish Records  Do you know what religion they were or what part of Dublin (i.e. city or county) they came from?

Do you have a marriage cert for John and Mary ?

Since they have quite common names this would help confirm or rule out any baptisms you find.

Many RC and CofI baptisms for the City area are available on http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/

Hi Shane

im certain John would be Catholic .

A civil marriage record for the details obbie located would give you occupations for groom and both father's which might throw some light on the whistle story..

I too have been working on my familty tree on my mother's side.  John Dwyer/Mary Redmond would be my GG Grandparents. My G Grandmother was Mary Catherine Dwyer married to Thomas Whittingham (Liverpool).  I have found John Dwyer/Mary Redmond's Marriage information. John Dwyer, born 1841 (Ireland).  Mary Redmond, born 1844 (Ireland).  Married 07 Feb 1864, St Marys-Sandymount, Dublin, Ireland.  It lists Edward Dwyer as John's Father and James Redmond as Mary's Father.  Also, the record shows Witnesses for the wedding as Andrew Redmond and Catherine MCCabe.  Catherine McCabe is also a Redmond.  I found her Marriage to a James McCabe and James Redmond is listed as her father with John Dwyer listed as a witness. They were married on 17 December 1863 at St Mary, Haddington Road, Dublin.

It would be appreciated if you would happen to have any other information to add, especially from Ireland.  My Mom and I  have records and information once John Dwyer/Mary Redmond arrived in Liverpool and then forward.  Mom will be 83 this year and has some good memories and knowledge of her family.
