St Anne's R C Church, Sutton, Nr St Helens - Look Up

[schooly]

Sorry Jan, but I can find no record of a marriage between Michael Quinn and Ellen Duffy at St Annes in 1887 or in any other year.

Perhaps it was in a neighbouring parish. Where was Ellen Duffy's home?

Regards

Jim

Thanks for looking for me Jim, Most Appreciated 

I dont know where she was from - in the 1911 census she states she is from Widnes - this is also where their first child Margaret Ann was born in 1888, all their other children were born in Earlestown, nr Newton-le-Willows. Yet in 1901/1891 her place of birth is Connah's Quay Flintshire but I cant find a birth for an Ellen Duffy c1868 in Flint or Widnes - I thought she might be a widow, which is why I asked for a look  up.  The marriage district is Prescot so I suppose it could have been in Widnes - Lancs BMD gives the marriage as  Prescot Registry Office or Registrar attended - which points to everyone else but Church of England marriages 

Cheers again

There is an Ellen Quinn of 92 Edgeworth St Sutton, buried at St Annes who died in 1952 aged 71 but that would make her too young for your Ellen

Thanks Kit!
 
Jim, could I possibly hassle you  again for another look up? sorry to mither

Is there a baptism between 1861 and 1863 for another Mary Quinn at St Anne's ?

I have been comparing notes with someone and she cant find parentage for her Mary Quinn who was also born in Sutton.

Thanks so much in anticipation

There is a baptism at St Annes for Mary Quinn born 28 March 1862 to John Comfort and Anne (no maiden name) Witness Ann White.

There is also a baptism for James Comfort born 2 March 1860, parents John Comfort and Anne Quinn, Witness Catherine Brady

Hope this helps
