My great grandparents were Corneilius O'Driscoll and Mary Salmon. in the irish census 1901 and 1911, Corneilius was born in co. Kildare and Mary in Dublin. in 1911, they have had 5 children (I have found one baptism and four civil registrations, all for Dublin and mothers maiden name Salmon). They had apparently been married for 14 years. They were Roman Catholic. The ages in 1911 given were completely off, but by 1901 census Mary was born in 1871 and Corneilius was born in 1874.
I cannot find any marriage in Ireland around 1897 (give or take 5 years either side) for O'Driscoll/Salmon (name variations considered).
Somebody found a possible marriage in Preston, Lancashire, so I ordered the certificate, so now I'd like to be able to either link it to my family or disregard it!
The information on the marriage cert is as follows
27 May 1897 at St Josephs Church (Skeffington road?), Preston. Corneilius Driscoll, age 23, Bachelor, Farm Labourer, Lived at Thorn Tree Farm, Cottam, Farm Labourer, Dad is Timothy Driscoll, deceased, Farm Labourer.
Mary Salmon, 24, Spinster, Domestic Servant, 7 Samuel Street, Preston, James Salmon, Market Gardener.
Roman Catholic
Witnesses Francis Murray and Catherine Salmon.
The ages are almost correct, they are marrying in a Roman Catholic church, the names and year are correct... how else can I prove this is my family?
First daughter, Mary Ann O'Driscoll was born and baptised in Dublin, 1898.
