Marriages of Mary Mason to John Quinn and John Butler

[myluck!]

I got my church marriage record for them from ROOTSIRELAND.

15th July 1868
Parish/district of BALLYBRACK.
PATRICK MASON to CATHERINE DOYLE (was she widowed)? both of LOUGHLINSTOWN
Husbands father PATRICK MASON  Wife's father JAMES MASTERSON
Patrick from KILGUADE   Catherine from BALLYBRACK
Both mother's are un-recorded.
Witness 1: Mary Mason
Witness 2: Simon Brian.

Don't rule out this marriage until you confirm by getting a birth cert for either Mary and/or Esther
The cert will confirm their mother's maiden name
This marriage could be correct and there was a second MASON/DOYLE marriage in Wexford

Have you looked at Michael QUINN's baptimal record in 1903?
Priests sometimes wrote notes on records referring to religion, parentage, address, etc.
This is a long shot but could possibly get further info

[TQ1962]

ok will do that first.
Thanks for all your  help

Granny Butler (as known after she married Jack) even had 4 of the Quinn children live with her as the family grew larger.

Is Granny Butler Mary MASON?
If so who were the QUINN children? were they John, her first husband's children, or her grandchildren through Michael, or other extended family?

The only additional information I have found is that in 1895 there are a John QUINN of Ballybrack and James MASON of Loughlinstown listed in the court sessions for what looks like the same incident on Dec 8th 1895 in Killiney. They were Drunk and Disorderly and there was damage to a "panel in the barrakcs door". James' charge was dismissed without prejudice but John was fined 5 Shillings. James seems to have had several D&D's over the years and a couple of stays in gaol when he defaulted on the fines.

Ages did go askew in those years and if John QUINN was older than Mary then he maybe the man who died in Rathdown in Apr-Jun 1905 V2 P684 aged 40; there are also a handful of options in Dublin South from 1902 to 1910 with DoB's from 1860 to 1875.

I am not sure of the churches in that area but someone local may be able to tell you if there was a convent with attached chapel or church that closed. This could account for unrecorded records; I found this with St. James' parish in the city centre.
