Dr Thomas Parkinson Glin, 1839-1845

it might be difficult to locate a definite birthplace for Thomas, but maybe records for College of Surgeons would give a clue to this ..

I dont thinks parish records (either RC or Church of Ireland) from 1804 would give much detail, possibly just name of bride & groom and date of wedding - maybe witness names. (no marriage certs for records this early - just parish records)

Waiting to hear from RCS.  The 1804 would give the bride and grooms name then the 1810 would show if the second Thomas was the son of the 1804 bride and groom but that wouldn't prove if he was Thomas the Doctor.

I have been trying to find the marriage of Thomas Parkinson and (Deb, Agnes or Brid) Fitzmaurice.  They could have married in Northern Ireland, Scotland or England.  If I could trace Thomas the Doctor's place of birth that might give us his parent's marriage place.

All of this hinges on the RCS records!!

thought you mentioned earlier that Thomas and Agnes married in Belfast ?

No sorry, Richard and his wife married in Belfast on Christmas Day 1863

I haven't seen the marriage certificate but on some of their children's birth certificates that's what's written.  Although another strange thing is on their 1st child's birth certificate  1865 it's written that Richard (the Tailor) and his wife Maria Sharkey were married in April 1864 in Helensburgh, which is Scotland???/  I can't find a record of that.

...
I have just found out that me g.g.g. grandfather was a doctor his name was Thomas Parkinson and he was married in Belfast to Agnes Fitzmaurice. 
.....

Assuming Thomas and Agnes married sometime in the 1830s then there will be no marriage cert. Finding a marriage in Belfast, or wherever, would require having some clues to which parish the marriage took place in.

I have no clue at all to where Thomas and Agnes married I would agree around 1830.   I really do believe that if I can find out where Thomas the Doctor studied  it might tell where he was born and give me a time line.  He could have met Agnes will he was studying or just after he qualified and that's where he married.  I have checked Scotlandspeople and no marriage recorded in their records also checked Ancestry and no marriage recorded in England.    It's a total mystery right now.  I am putting all my hope in the replies from Glasgow University and the RCS in London.

Is Belfast in Co Derry?   on Richard's poor relief application it mentioned Co. Derry for a marriage but was that his in Belfast?

Most of Belfast is in Co. Antrim, but parts are in Co. Down
