1842 ship romance on the Nabob. Michael McGrath & Mary O’Loughlin from Co. Clare

[steve albin]

Dear Members,


With the recent help of some very kind people on this site I believe the NSW marriage of Michael McGrath and Mary O’Loughlin in 1842 was due to the romance while on board the ship – Nabob.

The Nabob docked in Sydney on the 21st February 1842.

It seems that Mary’s brother, Peter, was also on board the same ship.

I am slowly trying to piece together the marriages and such of the O’Loughlins and Michael McGrath.

Before I jump in and start buying NSW death certificates I want to be absolutely sure that the Peter and Mary O’Loughlin from the Nabob share the same parents (Michael O’Loughlin and Mary Glen from Co. Clare) as their possible sister, Catherine O’Loughlin who died in 1875 at Bendigo.

My family were split up and kept apart by certain relatives here in Melbourne. We were totally oblivious to the fact there may be other O’Loughlin relatives in Australia. 

I would appreciate it if someone could let me know the exact date of the McGrath – O’Loughlin wedding in 1842 please.



Regards
Steve

I assume you are aware that the 1842 marriage on the NSW bdm index would be a parish record as civil registration did not commence in NSW until 1856.  The information about civil registration has been given to you previously.

For around $20 Australian you can purchase an official transcription of any of the NSW BDM historic holdings that are displayed on their online indexes.   

Many of the details from early parish registers are available via familysearch.org.  You can actually ask them to send you their copy of the image if you find the marriage indexed at their website https://familysearch.org/search   (this link includes the equivalent of the older IGI extracted index)

The info on the parish registers in the era before civil registration commences in NSW (1 March 1856) can be scant, but at least it is first hand info and possibly more reliable than say info from a grieving informant on a death rego. 



Cheers,  JM
