Margaret Horan marrying Edward Browning in 1889 in Mullingar RC Church in Westmeath.
I can't find a corresponding civil record yet !

My great grandparents married in Mullingar in 1869 & the marriage was never registered in the civil records.

Do you have military records for him ?
Tara

I looked on ancestry - they have 2 Edward Brownings but the military records seem to be WW1 attestations [1] Edward born in Bolton, Kent ca 1865 [2] Edward from Bradford married to Hettie Greenwood. I no longer have a findmypast subscription but their free index shows these 3:
BROWNING   EDWARD   1865   —   1885   Regimental & service records   Waltham, Canterbury, Kent, England   
BROWNING   EDWARD   1868   —   1902   Regimental & service records   St Peters, Dublin, Ireland   
BROWNING EDWARD   1866   —   1903   Regimental & service records   Waltham, Canterbury, Kent, England.
I presume the 'place' means place of birth. These may be worth getting - margemcm59 may know Edward's regiment. We do know from the 1911 census posted by Sinann that Edward was born in England.

Hi Josey,

Thanks

   I was just pointing out that not all marriages [from Mullingar perhaps in particular  ] were registered  in the civil records!

1889 is the date of the marriage of Margaret Horan & Edward Browning, as you correctly say in reply 7. It would be good to hear if margemcm59 has any family information about Edward's service - regiment etc. - which can help tie down any military record. Perhaps the birth of one of their children was in the military births indexes - which sometimes give regiment? As far as I know, these are only on findmypast, I no longer can get information from there on subscription. These indexes are incomplete though; they relied on the efficiency & conscientiousness of the chaplain keeping & sending records.

As we have a subscription to The TImes online, I took out the free subs to FindMyPast.

Will now look up the Military births for baby Brownings as per 1911 census!!
