William McDermott, Bawnboy

Hi,

Are his parents named on his marriage certificate?

Heywood

Added
I can't see a marriage in the indexes 

[stevemcd65]

Yes they are named on it.
Edinburgh record

[heywood]

That's good.
If they are the two you named earlier - Thomas McDermott and Mary Donohoe, it looks as though you may have  to look in US for further information as per aghadowey' posts.

It still seems a bit unlikely for him to be born in US but I suppose it is possible.
Did he also mention Derrycassan or Bawnboy on the certificate?
What was his father's occupation on the certificate?

[stevemcd65]

Yes, the 1868 marriage record confirms he is from the townland of Derricassan and she from Gurteen. His father, Edward, is deceased but was a bailiff.

I meant William's father on the 1908 certificate.

[stevemcd65]

His father, Thomas, is recorded as a farmer.

[heywood]

His father, Thomas, is recorded as a farmer.

I was thinking that if he was in US, it would be a more industrialised occupation, that's all.

Do you have Thomas and Mary in the censuses - I assume you do because you say you have most records.

Not that it helps much.
