Finding where John Concannon of Bilston came from in Ireland

Fingers crossed the other thread comes back to life.  We were close to a daughter of Michael Joseph.  Cathy Whitaker lived close by to my family in Ellesmere Port before she passed away in 2012.  Unfortunately I have little recollection of family further afield and am a bit remote now living in NZ.

Unfortunately, the marriage transcript does not give fathers or witnesses

As aghadowey suggests, the marriage certificate may help to narrow your search.

Thanks for that. The latinised names are a joy!

The other records are as you say less likely given Irish birth.

Much appreciate the marriage record though 😊

The other records on that page are his children's baptisms.
If I have looked at the correct Bridget in the censuses, I think her parents were from Mayo. John may not have given the census info himself so there could be confusion re his birthplace. On the other hand he may have been born near the border of the two counties.
