Mary Quinn & John Austin

[aghadowey]

A pre-1864 R.C. marriage record from the church is unlikely to give the father's name but you might be lucky. Usually shows date, bride, groom, maybe names of 2 witnesses & priest's name.

You know that two of the children were born in Ireland. What looks like Cecelia’s birth was registered in Banbridge, Co Down 1869, Volume 6 page 263. Banbridge registration area includes part of the parish of Kilmore in Co Armagh so that fits with the information you have about where the family originated. I would be inclined to order a copy of that birth certificate to see where they were living etc.

I do not see a birth for John Austin in Banbridge around that time. The nearest is for William John Austin whose birth was registered in Lurgan Co Armagh 1867 Vol 11, page 710. (Perhaps the family moved home in the years they were back in Ireland).

I was able to find John, 17 May 1867, born in Tanderagee District, Armagh, Ireland, with the parents names showing John Austen (once again).

[Elwyn Soutter]

Tandragee falls within Banbridge civil registration area so that fits with the information I found on the likely birth for Cecilia. I checked again and this time found a match for the birth of John Austen – Banbridge 1867 Vol 6, page 288.

The civil birth certificate usually contains more information than a baptism cert, and so it would probably pay you to get one or both of the 2 children’s certificates, if you want to know where the parents were living and what the father was doing by way of employment..

On Patrick's birth cert his birth is 18 July 1863 at 5 Middleton St Glasgow (in the High Church district).The parents marriage is listed as 16 May 1862 Kilbroney, county Armagh but looking at parish registers for Kilbroney there is no record of their marriage for that year or 2 yrs either side so do not know what is what.

There is a church marriage for the couple in Kilmore Parish, Co Armagh on May 18 1862
This was just before the start of civil registrations
