Hi there.
Trying to locate the names of the parents for each of the above. I have been shown a Tree, locating Patrick's parents as Patrick and Bridget, living in Wolverhampton, in the 1880s..but the evidence is not convincing. Any help is apprciated.

A starting point would be the marriage record which is available on:
https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/
A free search shows that a Patrick O'Hara married Mary Nolan on 25 March 1894 registered in Belfast. The full record costs £2 to view.

Hi,
The marriage took place in Belfast Urban 2 Roman Catholic Church. This is the area north of Roden Street. The Ulster Historical Foundation index lists two marriages for this couple. In one the fathers' names are Patrick O'Hara and Jsaac (Sic) Nolan and in the other they are Lathmore O'Hara and Isaac Nolan.
Regards

Thank you for your help. it is very much appreciated. It would appear that Mary's father is named Isaac Nolan. Patrick's is either Patrick O'Hara or Lathmore O'Hara, what is this. Again, thanks

"Lathmore" could be a form of Latimore/Latimer.

Hi stapler40,
I know this topic has been dormant for a while, but for your information. I knew of an Isaac Nolan who lived in the New lodge Road area of Belfast in the 1970s. His father was called Isaac and his son was also called Isaac.In the course of looking through the old Belfast Street Directories I also came across other Isaac Nolans in the same area so it appears that the name continues to be passed down the generations. Kingskerswell states the marriage took place in Belfast Urban 2 Catholic church. This church is called St Patrick's in Donegall Street Belfast, and serves the New Lodge area of Belfast.
