They certainly kept Marriage details secret....

I think this is the marriage of John Bingham (son of Rt Hon Henry and Anne Vesey) and Frances Elizabeth Shaen in 1737, they being the parents of Henry who married Letitia Daly in 1761,the parents of my Major Denis, his brothers Henry and John. You are right parent details are a little scarce, may have to order the complete details from one of the ancestry sites to find wife of Denis and/or mothers details for birth of William, however still can't find his marriage location or date (had thought William's wife was Maria Houston but I have found no documents to prove the information) This is a very difficult part of my ancestry to find.... however thanking you guys for your contributions

What makes you think William's wife was Maria Houston??

You're probably aware your Denis' father was buried in the adjoining chapel, is that still there?? are others there??

Denis had land in other Counties..... Marriage Settlement for daughter

Not Denis's daughter .... This is very difficult to read and appears to be made out as a marriage inheritance for Harriet Bingham (Major Denis's brother Henry's youngest daughter to the husband Ben Jennings) son of Geo Jennings in 1818. The Lands listed are from many counties and maybe parts of the original Shaen Estates passed down to Henry from from his father etc etc. I don't understand why Denis was making the contract , Henry the father may have passed away by that time. Interesting that Denis's daughter Anne married Henry's son Robert Augustus the year before. The name Maria Houston was written on a tree started my another relative but I have not been able to find proof for it. There are confirmed graves at Binghamstown for Henry and others of his family but no Denis, William of my g grandfather Arthur. Was there another marriage settlement made out by Denis for his daughter Anne or William at your source... kind regards

I did read about an inscription for his father's gravestone at Bingham Castle taht had a Daly reference scratched out ..... however I believe the site of the castle is but a foundation covered in grass .... trying to make letter contact with residents of Doolough Lodge and Binghamstown to ascertain whether the gravestone still exists or re interned elsewhere ... hard to get straight responses..

Yes .. Robert Augustus and Anne's son Denis married Elizabeth Nash in 1846 and lived at Bingham Castle
