Hi,
   There is a record of an Edward Morgan who married Margaret Quinn in Londonderry Roman Catholic Church, Templemore Parish on 7 Mar 1916. This church is probably the Long Tower Roman Catholic Church.

Thank You. It makes sense that Maggie would have been married in the Church of the Long Tower as other member of the family were subsequently married there.
Eddie Morgan may have been based in Derry as a soldier at the time. What regiment might he have been ?

PS Should have told you that if you wish to learn more about Francis & Martha Morgan you should post a separate query re them on the Canada forum on this site.
