CLARK in Moira, Down

[mcwacky]

Hi

Can anyone help me. I want to obtain a copy certificate or other source evidence for a marriage that took place in Moira, Down, Ireland on 15 Jul 1856 between Thomas Clark and Mary Ann Mullen - possibly in Moira Parish Church (Church of Ireland).

Thomas might have been aged 21 and from Ballykeel, Magheralin, and a servant. Mary Ann might have been 19, a servant from Lurganville.

As far as I know, the family were not catholic. On their death certificates, Thomas's father is listed as John Clark, his mother as Alice Campbell; Mary Ann's parents are listed as John Mullen and Margaret McGrath.

PS I have seen this related thread

and am working on the same family, although some details are different. The details I have come from Scottish certificates.

I think that is all you need for ordering a cert from GRO

That's great, Kevin, thanks. Do I apply to the GRO in Ireland? Is that the same thing as the PRONI?

Ah, it's okay - found the site here: http://www.groireland.ie/

Provided you quote the place, year, Volume & page number (which kmart66 has given you), clearly on your application form, it should only cost you €4 for a photocopy.

Hi,
   17 Aug 1856 Thomas Clark married Mary Anne Mullen in Moira Church of Ireland. Fathers' names were William Clark and Robert Mullen.

Thanks Elwyn, KMart and Kings...

Kings - I take it you found that info via IGI/FamilySearch (where I found that entry)? That's why I need the marriage cert copy as, according to death certs I have... parents were John Clark and John Mullen and marriage was on 15 Jul, not 17 Aug - so I need to check back to original data if possible.

Hi,
   The fathers'names came from the free section of the UHF.
