which church? St. Colmans RC Dromore or Banbridge RC

[margymore]

Hi
i have a marriage record for 1896, i though from the details it was The RC church in Banbridge, however I have since been told that it is more likely to be St. Colmans RC in Dromore, co. down.
It is a civil record from ancestry ireland. this is an excerpt:
Comment    BY LICENCE REV P J MCEVOY.
Address1    BANBRIDGE Roman Catholic
Address2    BANBRIDGE
Address2    SEAPATRICK
Address4    Down

Which is it more likely to be, Dromore or Banbridge?

This could be the priest

If you look at the buildings Return It's in the PLU of Banbridge.

Of course he could have moved in the meantime

If you view the full civil certificate on the GRONI site, it should tell you precisely which church the ceremony took place at. Cost should be £2.

thankyou kingskerswell
I have that info but i also have conflicting info from rootsireland. one states it as Banbridge RC church , which i would take to mean St Patricks? and the other record states it is St. colemans RC church which i have learnt is in Dromore. i had hoped local knowledge would be able to explain better as it may have something to do with civil records recording the parishes differently from catholic records. ? I was in UHF yesterday and asked them, and it was the lovely lady up there who suggested it may not be Banbridge and more like was St. Colemans.

Hi,
   In the PRONI Wills site there is reference to the will of a William George Hagan, architect, who died in 1898. See http://apps.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar_IE/WillsSearch.aspx
