There is a marriage in Ireland


December quarter 1885 to Bridget Commons in Fermoy.

The baptism of daughter Catherine shows Bridget Commons as mother's name so it looks as though Mary could be Bridget.

I wonder if he was employed as a tailor with the Army for a while as Fermoy was a garrison town.
