John Leslie son of  John Leslie  marred Mgt  Cole

Margaret Leslie’s marriage and the death of John Leslie with a sister, Anne both have Beihy

 Margaret Leslie, b.1838 in Co.Leitrim and married Robert Wright in 1855. On the marriage register, her father was John Leslie who was born in 1806 and died in Co.Longford in Clongesh parish in 1885.

It looks like  this John Leslie is both father of the bride and the father of John the groom

I was wondering if it was common for couples who were church of Ireland, to get married years later after having their children together? For instance, my ancestors had my 2x great gran in 1838 in Co.Leitrim but they seems to have got married in 1866? I think the father died in 1885 which means they got married when they were in their 50s.

Am I right or is this just a theory?

So...getting back to original question.


Are you saying John (senior) married a Mgt  Cole and their son John married a Mgt Cole???

To be honest Hallmark, I wasn't sure if Margaret Leslie (1838) had any siblings but it's certainly plausible that she had a brother of the same name to their father and he got married in 1866, like you said. I'm certain that the father was born in 1806 and died 1885. But the problem is trying to figure out who's the mother of Margaret and John Jnr is.

is a POSSIBLE

If that's his wife, it would mean she was born in 1820 and was about 18 when she had Margaret jnr. I was looking at the marriage record and there is one that took place between 1820 and 1838. A marriage between a john leslie and a margaret arnott in 1832 which means she would have been 12 when the marriage took place??

Not unheard of.....
