KIRK - marriage in Dundalk
« on: Saturday 21 November 09 17:14 UTC (UK) »
Hi Im trying to trace when my grandparents married:

My grandmother was veronica Kirk born in 1907 and my grandfather was John (Jack) Rowe, Aldershot in Hampshire.

I believe they would have got married about 1930ish in a RC Church.

thanks in advance

Index to civil registrations is online (free) which makes it fairly easy to find Irish marriages. Unfortunately no marriages for a Veronica Kirk show up (database goes up to 1958).

Could the marriage have taken place in England or another country? or Veronica known by another name?

yes they always lived in ireland... Dundalk I believe.

Her parents name were Michael Kirk born c1865-1939 and Catherine Duffy  born 28.1.66 died 1938.

(She had around 11 brothers and sisters - I had their names on genes reunited but i must have accidently deleted them)

I believe my grandmothers name was Veronica Mary

Found the family in 1911 census- surname KIRKE in Broughton Street (no street number), Dundalk:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003939762/
There were actually 14 children (11 living) but only 9 at home.

Vernonica Mary Kirk's birth is listed in civil index (1907 Dundalk) but not the marriage.
