Bridget A Melvin b 1817 Co Mayo MAIDEN NAME and MARRIAGE DATE ??
« on: Saturday 12 May 18 12:52 BST (UK) »

I am trying to find my great great great grandmother Bridget Melvin's maiden name and a record of her marriage to John Melvin.

Bridget A Melvin married John Melvin  in Co Mayo and moved to Yorkshire. In the 1891 Census, she is living with her daughter Bridget Welch in York. On Bridget's marriage certificate to Michael Welch in 1866, it says John Melvin deceased.

I have reason to believe that Bridget could have been Dougher, but I would like to confirm it. If anyone  can help me I would be very grateful.
Best wishes,
Liz

Civil Records of Irish Births, Deaths and Marriages date from 1864 with non-Roman Catholic Marriages recorded from 1845.

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

The years covered by the release of the historic Indexes to the Civil Records of Births, Marriages and Deaths are:

Births: 1864 to 1916

Marriages: 1845* to 1941

Deaths: 1864 to 1966

*non-Roman Catholic Marriages are recorded from 1845, Roman Catholic Marriages are recorded from 1864

RC Registers are online Free  https://registers.nli.ie/   Click on Map and you gets Parishes

BUT  which one??
