Ryan / Leake marriage, Limerick, 1839. One Protestant and the other RC?

Thank you whiteout.  Those are very interesting links.

Perhaps the Fergusons are related to the Ryans or Leakes as well.   

Several of the Ryans are buried at Mt St Lawrence Cemetery in Limerick.  Some lived to a ripe old age, but several didn't.

I got at least five hits for Limerick  Leake's did you click on any of the results?

Have you got this as well - It names Alice D'Alton as Alice Furnell? So I think a bit of cross checking with church records might be needed as ultimate proof

George, Richard and William appear in the court case you mentioned but the son Frederick Leake would have been dead before then.

Thank you dathai - there must have been a temporary glitch.  No hits came before, but now there's several.

Here's some of those names again - George Leake and Godfrey Massey. 

A Godfrey Massey was a cleric.

Thank you again for the Familysearch suggestion.   Just sticking to that film I've found a John Fitzgerald married an Ann Leake at Rathkeale in 1752, and a Garret Fitzgerald married Margaret Massy at Rathkeale in 1754.

I'm curious about the parents of Anna Maria Ryan and her brothers Edmund Fitzgerald Ryan and Michael Robert Ryan.   So far I know her father was Michael Ryan of Limerick (from newspaper clippings) but don't know who her mother was. 

Edit - found the answer - their mother was Maria Fitzgerald, daughter of William Fitzgerald of Geraldine.

And the Fergusons were related to the Leakes.   The mother of the lawyer was a Leake.

Now I need to find out what became of Alice Leake!

Straying into general history now.

The Right Rev Dr Ryan was even discussed in Paliament.

He was highly spoken of when he died.

I see from the newspaper that he also performed the nuptial ceremony when Barbara Teresa Fitzgerald (the aunt of Anna Maria Ryan in the marriage that started this query) when she married Michael John Staunton.  This was also a ceremony in a house - not in a church.
