The couple’s marriage was registered in Cookstown Jul – Sept 1902 Volume 1, page 697. If you order a copy of the civil certificate it should give you their father’s names, their occupations and the couple’s respective townlands at the time of their marriage, which may help you trace further back.

where would i get this and how much would it cost?

You have a number of different options eg ordering them through LDS or from GRONI in Belfast. Personally I find using GRO Roscommon is the cheapest and simplest method.

Go to the GRO Roscommon website: www.groireland.ie/  Download the application form you need, and complete with the information you have, including the location, year, quarter, Volume & page number. Put that information on the lines for date and place of the event etc. Don’t worry if you have to leave some boxes blank, eg PPS number. Be sure to tick the box marked photocopy. You then either fax or post the form off (there is no e-mail option for certs pre 1.1.1922). Their turnaround time is 7 to 10 days plus however long the post takes. Provided you give them all the info they need, it should only cost €4 for a photocopy.

I was doing some work a couple of years ago on the children of Jeremiah Martin (1871-1946) and Roseanne Coyle (1877-1947) of Ardboe and County Mayo, and I surmised that Jeremiah was a son of Thomas Martin and Sarah Anne O'Neill, and thus a brother of Rachel, Agnes, Ambrose, Julia, Mary Ellen. I also reckoned that the Sarah Jane who married Francis Quinn in 1902 was also a sister, although her baptism is not in the Ardboe parish register. However I didn't check out this family. I don't think the Thomas Martin family lived in the Moortown area of Ardboe parish; possibly Brookend and Trickvallen. There is only one Sarah J Martin in the 1901 census for Ardboe parish - see Munterevlin/Kilmascally/home of Robert James Corr, where Sarah J Martin was the servant girl. That would possibly explain a Moortown connection.

Sarah Jane's father was Thomas Martin and her mother was Sarah Ann O'Neill, she came from the Drumad area.

Added: Father Thomas was a cottier, see this link:
