possible match for you from the BMD Index:

  Name: Mary Kate Weston
  Registration district:   Wexford
  Event type: Marriage
  Quarter and year: Jul-Sep 1901
  Volume : 4 / Page: 405

  Name: John M'Cormack
  [same references as Mary Kate]

the only possible Westnot marriage I see is one in Enniscorthy registration district - which doesn't seem to fit with the location on the census. It also doesn't have a cross-match that I can see to a John McCormack

  Name: Mary Westnot
  Registration district:   Enniscorthy
  Event type: Marriage
  Quarter and year: Jan-Mar 1904
  Volume : 4 / Page: 433

Both John and Mary are listed on the 1911 census as not being able to read, so I suppose an misspelling of her surname on the registration of her marriage, or the birth of a child is possible.

Thanks Shane ,
Where would I apply for the marriage cert , I think it could be them only thing is I have a birth cert of a child they had in Wales in 1902 and the mothers maiden name is Westnott , is it's the welsh registrar's interpretation of the the name Weston ,and is the name Westnott associated with Ireland

there are some Westnott and Weston listings on the 1901 census in Co. Wexford - so I suppose either is possible :

  West* - Co. Wexford
 
I done see any sign of Mary Kate though - have you found her ?

I think the Kate on the 1901 could be her but her age don't  tie in with the Mary on the 1911 census she must have used kate not the mary as people often do as we often find in research , as for the marriage I have to think more about it but it does seem a possible . I also  cant find a birth  for her , so more work to do

Thanks for your help
Mrs Griff.

This is a possibility - a marriage entry in the Wexford Town parish records on 20th August 1901.

The witnesses are likely to be related to the Groom as they have the same surname and this is possibly their 1901 census record:

Based on the fact that the father of the Groom is stated as “Bryan” and the father in the above census record is “Bernard” the witnesses could be cousins rather than siblings.

The Bride's father is from Ballymitty and co-incidentally that is the area where a family with the surname of Westnot were residing in the 1901 census:
