Do you think it could be Cove - Cork as in Cobh present day.

Cove is an old spelling of Cobh = Cork

Still some queries, but ...

I certify that John Marlow of H. M. S.
Spencer, Marine, and Honora Riordan of Cove
in the Union of Clonmell Widow, were Married
in the Parish Church of s(ai)d union by Banns
this 9 day of July 1821 by me
Thomas (?)amstreet
Curate of said Union

Present
Henry (?)
Wm Brown
Cove

rec(eive)d 7 Decr 1833(?)


I think the surname of the 1st witness Henry begins with the same letter as the surname of the curate Thomas. But not sure what it is.

ADDED - Sorry, heywood, we coincided  ;)

I was thinking of Clonmel, Tipperary but Cobh is in the civil parish of Clonmel, Cork so it looks promising.
Also thanks Bookbox for ‘union’ and ‘widow’  :)

Thanks to Bookbox for directing me to this thread from the one about Honora Marlow.

I've already had a go at this, not very successfully. Handwriting is dreadful.
 I, like Heywood assumed it was Clonmel, Tipperary. (Clonmel had a permanent military presence from 1805.)

Started off badly as i couldn't read the words at top of page. Then got a bit better:

"I certify that John Marlow of ____  ____  ____  ____ and Hanna (?) (or Nora?) Riordan of ____  ___ the  town (?) of Clonmell _____ ______  married in the Parish Church of s'd (?) town (?) by Banns this  9 (?) day of _______ (August?) by me (?)
                             Henry H(?) anigheet/anisheet (?)
                             Curate of  ______   ______
Present: Henry (?)   _______
             Wm (?)      ______
                            C______
Rec'd 7th Oct (?) or Dec (?)/ 18??."

I'll now read transcription by Bookbox.

Well I got month of wedding wrong and missed year entirely.
I had doubts about "town" but it didn't look like anything else and I assumed the wedding was in the town of Clonmel, that being one of the few words of which I was certain.

Names of ships on which John Marlow served are on the school application document (link from other thread). He was on one whose name began with S from July 1820.

Edit. I've looked again at the list of ships John Marlow on which John Marlow served. He was a Corporal on HMS Spencer from July 1820. He was a Sergeant on another ship from August 1823.
