1826 -- Birth, Marriage, Death -- Mary (Margareta) Money, Mooney, Maney

[Lianemarie]

I have a marriage record that says Mary was married to John Melville on 30 Apr 1844 in Kiltullagh.  I'm looking for her birth information, hoping to identify her parents.

Marriages were normally performed in the home parish of the bride, indicating that Mary was from there or at least resided in Kiltullagh (Attymon). But baptisms for that parish don't start until June 1844, so you won't find a baptism for her if she was indeed from there.

Here is the parish record.
The witnesses look to be Peter Maney and Mary - possibly the same surname.

Parish record of the 1844 marriage.

OP You don't mention how you link back to this couple - what records where point to them?

Also, you did not mention the groom, so presumably you have his possible 1812 baptism?

[Wexflyer]

The couple appear to have had a daughter in Galway City in 1846 - is this already known?

Liane again,

The marriage record I have is from the Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915. She married John Melville on 30 April 1844 in Kiltullagh, Ireland.

You already told us that, and a link to the marriage in question has been posted. The question was, what led you back to them? What links you to them?

[Wexflyer]

I already mentioned, in the thread started by OP in the Kildare section, that it is unlikely that John Melville was from there - too far, how would they have met?

Instead, there is a candidate for him in an adjacent/next-door parish to Kiltullagh - Loughrea.

According to RootsIreland, John "Mullavil" was baptized there in 1812.

Of course, we can only "look under the lampposts". If John was actually from Kiltullagh then there will be no record.
