Mary Jane Bissett - Dublin - abt 1867

[Emma08]

Ah.... That would make sense. Thanks for the info.

More information recently discovered on Mary Jane....

According to her first marriage certificate in 1886 her father was definitely John Bissett - and was a Carpenter.

He is listed as "deceased" on the certificate

I am assuming he was Irish because Mary Jane always listed her nationality as Irish and registered her overseas marriages and overseas children's births in Ireland.

Am I correct in thinking there are no census documents for Ireland in the mid-late 1800s?

How else could I find a John Bissett who was a Carpenter living in Dublin around 1860/1870/1880.... Died before 1886.

Do you have a Dublin address from Mary Janes marriage certificate,it may help to locate the death/burial of her father.
Glasnevin Trust,Genealogy has three likely candidates which can be viewed on line for a fee of 3euro each.
also remember ages at death are not always accurate.
John Bisitt age 68 in 1873 (as spelt)
John Bissett age 65 in 1876
John Bissett age 28 in 1883

The marriage certificate I have is an English one because she married her first husband twice. Once in Dublin and then a year later in England. This was apparently to do with some time restriction on military marriages.
Can I get hold of a copy of the marriage certificate from Dublin? How would I do this?
That would probably help.

I think her father John Bissett died between 1874 and 1886 because I think Mary Jane had a younger sibling born in the early 1870s....
But that, and his occupation of carpenter is all I have....

Re census  documents Ireland mid-late 1800s the following link sadly explains

Of the 3 John Bissetts listed above it couldn't be the one who was 28 when he died because Mary Jane was born around 1867.... So that narrows it down
