KING/FAIRBAIRN marriage 1925, Castlewellen

[bun107]

Hello

As a gift for a technophobe pal i'm doing a basic family tree for her.

Her Grandmother and Grandfather were married on 17/12/1925 in Castlewellan, Co. Down (not sure where) and i'm trying to find the certificate so it can give me her Grandmother's parents names....

What we know just now:

Rose Anne King born approx 1907 Annsborogh, Co.Down
married 17/12/1925 in Castlewellen to
Henry George Jordan Fairbairn (born 1903 in Glasgow, Scotland)

At some stage Rose Anne changed her name (unofficially we think) to Dorothy and was always saying she was the same age for years so not sure the info on death cert is correct?

Any help would be gratefully received

cheers

Wonder if she's one of these little girls named after granny? (Derryneill is just outside Castlewellan)

If the marriage in 1925 took place in Ireland then only father's name & occupation will be listed.

Thank you, that is certainly a possibility!  How would I access the marriage record tho?

Thanks in advance

The civil marriage record for Henry Fairbairn and Rose King is available via GRONI online at the following link, choosing the "full" option (£2) lets you see the digitised image:

Hoping your answer includes the following parent possible name which arises from exploring aghadowey’s suggestion- so her father presumably could be John King m Agnes
4 in Derryneill (Ballyward, Down)
King Rose 94 With son John King 38 m Agnes with 3 children inc Rose A
Rose King age of 94  worried me, but the original read more like 74 and so could be the Rose King in 1901 census in 32 in Derryneil (Ballyward, Down)
Where Francis and Rose King are living with  unmarriedsons  28 year old John and Felix 25

This Francis could have connections amongst others to a Francis KING  .  Drumgooland of Derryneil ; owned 33 acres in 1876 LOI Ros Davies has others of interest
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/K/King.htm
Ros Davies has an introductory note on the surname saying  many Kings are the anglized form of many Irish people with the surname McAree (Mac an Ri) had the name Anglicised to King

Out of interest There are frozen posts on http://genforum.genealogy.com/fairbairn/messages/519.html one such Ihave selected out it was Posted by: may_bea11 (ID *****6186)   Date: June 08, 2011 at 06:40:11     519 of 541
"I am looking for possible relatives of the late Henry Fairbairn (formerly of Glasgow?), but raised in Edinburgh. My grandfather was George (born 1906)-Henry's younger brother. He also had a sister Catherine, and a younger brother, Bill.
His mother was Mary Ann..nee McDonald, and his father- William (worked in the railways) and was from Greenock. They married in 1899.   As far as I know the family moved Leith, Edinburgh in the early 1900s..not sure when till. I know Henry went onto marry and have a family, but nothing beyond that.
My grandfather married in 1950 and had 2 children.
He resided in Edinburgh rest of his life."

Have now been able to view the digitised version of the marriage certificate - thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.

I've found out that Rose Anne King's father was William King and that she probably was born 1906 rather than 1907.  One of the witnesses was a Dorothy King (presumably a sister?)

and that she was residing in Annesboro' in 1925 where she was born.

I've found a Rose Anne King and Dorothy King (daughters) abt right age for R-A living with their parents Willie ! and Rose Anne - would make sense - is it too much of a jump to think this is the right person!? They are in Moyad (Fofanny) which is v. near Castlewellen and Annsborough.

thanks!
