Just a thought - have you checked the actual marriage register entries? RC marriage registers sometimes have a lot more information than is shown on the certificate.

St Mary's Highfield Street  per http://www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co.uk/liverpoolrcmarriages/marriages.php

The Thomas b. 1852  in Tipperary had a  father called Patrick and mother called Ellen Orman
in the parish of Cournaganeen(Bournry) RC.

You can discount him as it seems the whole family went to America according to this post http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.orange/317/mb.ashx

This has been my brick wall for 8 years  :(

My Great Great Grandfather was one Thomas Devaney, born in Ireland around 1856. My first sighting of him is in 1881 where he is single, and working in a pub.

In 1882 he married my Gt Gt Grandmother, Annie Morgan in Liverpool. Father's name on the marriage certificate is Patrick Devaney, deceased, Licensed Victualler.
Thomas and Annie had 4 children: Michael, John Patrick, Mary Gertrude and Joseph.






In the 1891 census Thomas is working in a pub in Cheshire, while Annie and the children are still at home in Liverpool.
Later on in 1891 Thomas died in Liverpool workhouse [TB]

I have no idea when Thomas came over from Ireland, or if his Father Patrick came too, nor who is Mother was.
Family hearsay has it they were from Mayo, but I have no concrete evidence of this, and actually despair of even ever finding a county for him.
Can only hope that some one has come across them in their own research and knows a bit more.
Many thanks for any help

Hi

Take a look at

http://www.yelp.ie/biz/deveneys-dundrum

and scroll to the end of the page, where there is information on the history of this family business, dating back to 1909.

With the same occupation, I wonder if this family is connected to your own.  For the record, you can google Deveneys Off Licence and it will show the family's many businesses, all connected with the pub trade!

Wonder if there is a connection. 

Cheers (excuse the pun)...
