Just found this thread and noticed om page 2 that you requested info on marriages at Lisburn Cathedral.

Although outside of your timings, my great grandmother's sister got married on 1 Dec 1866. The marriage was between Thomas Wilson and Catherine McCurry

Hi, Im still trying to research this family.
My 2nd G grandmother was Minnie Mussen born in Dromore to Rachel Mussen (before she married Moses Brown) Minnie is listed as UNKNOWN MUSSEN on Irish gen. her father is unknown, when she married she did not list a father. I dont believe it was Moses Brown who her mother later married.
Minnie married Matthew Douglas.
Her mum Rachel my 3rd G grandmother was born to Blaney Mussen (I can see he was mentioned here earlier)
I believe he married Charlotte Cunningham ( a charlotte mussen is listed on her death cert as widow of Blaney Mussen and her daughter Rachel also signs it)
Someone suggested Blaneys father as Phillip Mussen (of dromore) son of James Mussen and his mother Jane Logan. However I cannot find any suggestion Jane and Phillip had a son called Blaney, only that Phillip comes from 'Balleny' and my grandmother suggested Blaney was named after a place.

Here's the birth record - 24 November 1882. The Registrar's District was Moira in Co Down. Her mother Rachel was living in Drumo and Drumcro townland (Magheralin civil parish). The birth was not in Dromore. (Dromore was in Banbridge Superintendent Registrar's District).

I believe Blaney Mussen was brother to my Charlotte born c1795. She was married to William McConnell who was a miller , near Balleny. I have never found proof of that marriage, but I am here to prove that they had children, their daughter Sarah being my gggrandmother. I just wish we could find some proof of that marriage.
