Hi

Did they marry in Ireland as I can't see an English marriage for them?

What is the connection to Lancashire?

Are you sure about the 1875 birthyear for William - seems to be considerably earlier given this baptism of one of his children?

Annabella Rowney born 25 March 1877 Newry, Down
Father   William John Rowney
Mother     Annabella Rowney Foster

This marriage is on FS but I can't match it to a William Rowney

Previous post here - Birthyears are 1843 and 1845 respectively

For some reason you posted on the Lancashire board but there doesn't seem to be any connection to Lancashire from the info found.

I will ask the moderator to merge that post with this one for continuity
