Furlonge Cornmarket

[squnk]

In her book, Errislannan, Allanah Heather describes finding the diary of her great great grandmother, Jane Frayne from Bormount in Co Wexford, in which Jane states she was first married to George Wall in Furlonge Cornmarket and then later in Castlebridge in June 1790. Can anyone help identify what or where is Furlonge Cornmarket and how might they marry twice?

1   Corn exchange (as corn market), a building where farmers and merchants historically traded cereal grains.  Google

Some towns cities had other market like a cheese market etc.  In my partner's village in the North of England they have a meat market too. There is a town square that is used for markets  with buildings off it that were used for the market.  Also in parts of France, I went to a cheese market out of Versailles once.

As well as the various markets the various offical buildings like the Town Hall and churches were also located in this area.

2   Furlong is presumably the town where the cornmarket was located. Or perhaps the name of the owner of the buildings in which the market was located.  The surname Furlong in my limited searching seems to be strongly associated with Co Wexford.

3   As to marrying twice if the first husband/wife had died the living partner was free to marry again. Rarely if the parties had been married out of the church or in another denomination then some had 'marriages' to bring it into the particular denomination.

As previously stated by Shanreagh, "Furlonge" is presumably a misreading of Furlong or Furlong's.

Cornmarket was at one time the central market square in Wexford town.

So the reading would be that the marriage was in Furlong's [house] in Cornmarket [in Wexford town].

OP not clear - are you saying that both marriages were in June 1790, to the same man?
 If so then there is a potential straightforward answer - one was a Catholic ceremony, and the other Protestant.
Necessitated by the Penal Laws.

Many thanks to both for your helpful replies.  Yes the same couple married twice. I hadn’t considered the possibility that it was a Catholic/ Protestant marriage. She was definitely Protestant and I assumed he was too but I have no definitive evidence although their son was a Protestant minister.
