Carrick on Suir marriages 1825 - 1840

[Gerryk]

Hi. I'm trying to find the marriage date of Andrew Cleary and Catherine Toom(e)y in Carrick on Suir. It had to be between 1825 (they were born respectively in 1806 adn 1807) and 1840 (first born was in 1841).
I'm fairly certain it was in Carrick. That was where she was born, her sisters too, and where he had his business at that time.
However, although the Church records are extant, they don't show up.
Would appreciate some advice/help.
thanks
Gerry

Brides normally marry in their Parish!

Thanks. I’ve tried some other parishes. But none of the sites - nli, Findmypast, Ancestry, familysearch, irishgenealogy etc - have any record of the marriage in any parish. I’ve tried name variations also.

If she was a Servant somewhere she could have married there...

[Gerryk]

Good idea. But her father was a tailor (I.e. professional) with three daughters.
I have an unusual family tree: in my grandparents, g grandparents and gg grandparents, at least one set of each came from the same street in Carrick on Suir. People didn’t often travel far,b back then, to mate and marry.

But did yours live at shop or a house maybe 2 miles out of town in another Parish??

[Gerryk]

No. If you know Carrick, the Toomeys lived at what is now known as the West Gate, top of Bridge St.
Andrew, a businessman and landlord, was busy buying up the rest of Bridge St.
Their three children were born, during famine years, in 1841, 43, and 47.
So, my guess is a marriage, maybe of convenience, in 1838-40. Had to be in Carrick, but obviously wasn’t recorded.
He came, I think, from Windgap, about 5 miles out the road. Carrick is on the confluence of three counties - Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Waterford. He was secretive about his family of origin.

Hi just noticed your post re Carrick

Sometime ago I was researching a baptism in Cahir on Roots Ireland and the transcription was returned in both the Tipperary and Waterford Records.  Presumably the Parish at the time extended over the County borders.
