KylaH,
Just trying to think of explanation - error as said before.
Who were the witnesses?
Does the record show Margaret Fern’s mother?

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone could help.

Im trying to find out more about John Curran. He died in 1885 in Mullaghglass. He was married to Mary Regan (unsure what year), who he had multiple children with, including Michael Curran.
Michael Curran was born in 1868 in Mullaghglass and came to Scotland where he married Margaret Ferns in 1890. He died in 1939. Mary Regan was listed as his mother on his birth and death certificate but on his marriage Bridget Clarkin was registered as his mother. I’ve tried to find out who she is but had no luck, so just wondering if anyone can help with who she was and who John Currans parents were.

Thanks

Re the Bridget Clarkin mentioned I have found a record for a Michael Curran born Ireland 1856 but  dying in Massachusetts and his mother is described as Mary Clearkin and father Owen Curran.

OP are you able to advise the reference to the marriage or a copy of the relevant portion so we can look at the entry please?

Who knows if this family is related in any way to the Michael Curran you are searching for.

There is no church record.

We can’t see the record as it is a pay site.
Could you transcribe it please?
