If the marriage given by Cando is the correct one then the marriage certificate will also name both of Minnie's parents and give her age and place of birth. Can you give us these details?

Hi Everyone,
As Minnie was married as MCCARTHY in 1906, and as her mum died as MCCARTHY in 1915, is it possible that Jane SAUL's nee name was NOT
SAUL. Surely if Jane gave consent in 1906 for her MCCARTHY daughter (not yet 21 years of age) to marry, Jane would have been giving consent as Jane MCCARTHY..... with MCCARTHY as Jane's known by name, even if there had been no formal marriage?
Cheers, JM PS, I am not finding it easy to read through a couple of the posts on this thread .... the apparent abbreviations and shortened expressions are confuddling me. I find it actually slows my reading down, as I need to pause, go back over and over and sometimes even read the post aloud rather than rely on my grey cells to comprehend. For example ..... "tHANX" I had no idea that would 'translate' to "Thank You" especially as the same poster had previously typed up "Thank You". I am starting to understand that "4" is actually "for" and not "four".... and perhaps "th" is "the" as in 'thanx 4 th info" and not "4th" (JM found it very confusing .... '
thanks 4th info' ) ..... At least I knew "info" as 'information' .... Phew ..... But I have discovered my brain is trained to read 'words' and simply gets itself confuddled

when things are 'out of kilter'. I apologise for not being more actively involved in helping on this thread.

I have probably been a typiste for too many decades....
