« on: Thursday 09 February 17 10:18 GMT (UK) »
I've been struggling to Find a birth record for Mary Anne Nixon born around 1871-1874. Her father's name is Edward Nixon. She got married in magheradrool parish church. Can anyone help? =)

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

Where have your already searched for the birth? What is the bride's residence on marriage certificate? her father's occupation?

Son Edward born 1869 must have died (possible death in 1874) and another son given the name (Edward 1876 who married Elizabeth Patton in 1899)-
