Witness names ? Help please
« on: Friday 18 October 24 00:07 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can anyone  read  what the witness names are please.

The first name I  have  always thought may say Daniel ? Mullen / Mullin ?  Or  Mc Mullen , but  I am far from sure of that.
But the second  name I just haven't  a clue what it says at all, maybe a Wm ( William) something?
Thank you for any help.

The full cert  is  available  here  to read freely  below at Irish genealogy ie  :

Kind regards

William Mc(F?)adden?

Thank you  both,
I am not sure either way, McFadden, or Wallace, or something else completely  different.  These witnesses are  probably not family members  anyway if their siblings marriages are anything to go  by.

I have just  been searching my computer ( I suddently had a bright idea when reading my thread and your replies  ) that maybe I had a transcription of the church marriage somewhere   that I purchased  from the Ulster foundation many  years ago (ie not  the   civil  record) that would give the witness names that they thought the church  record reads of the witnesses  ,  but sadly it seems  I've not  purchased that one from them, or at least I can't  find it on my computer , I only have the  civil 
 purchased from Groni, then later the free  Irish Genealogy.
Kind regards

The IrishGenealogy version is much clearer - and different. That is not exactly the same, word for word - it does not have the contractions.
In the IG version, the witnesses are very clearly:
Daniel McMullen and
William Wallace

Yes, the Irish Gnealogy version is much clearer.

Thank you all , I just  couldn't  work out  what that surname  says , Wallace.
The witnesses don't  appear to be family members but  you never know.

Kind regards :)

Are you sure?
This was a Registry Office marriage, so there won't be a corresponding church record. And if they had married in church, then why would they need a Registry Office ceremony as well?
