Hi
I have finally obtained my great grandparents marriage certificate 12th June 1892 Richard McCann from Portarlington and Anne Bowers in Mountmellick (thanks to you 8 years ago!)and delighted to find my great great grandfathers names Peter McCann and Thomas Jas Bowers on it. Can anyone advise how I could delve deeper into these links? I am particularly interested in the Bowers side as Anne according to family lore ran away as an arranged marriage was made for her (she is possibly Church of Ireland).. she met Richard at the train station and ended up marrying him.
I grew up being told that her family where well to do and from Rathmines in Dublin however an old neighbour told me she was a country woman possibly from Tipperary. The census mentions Tipperary and Kildare where they lived and also Kilmainham. I have nothing else to go on and would love to get to the bottom of who her family is. Any help or information would be appreciated.

Have you looked for them on the 1901/1911 Irish censuses?

If you click on the Year - there are other censuses you may find them on but perhaps not as much available as on the 1901/1911

Thanks to both of you for taking the time and to quickly respond and provide a wealth of information on both branches of my family. Because of you I was also able to find another set of great grandparents from the bower marriage cert that you forward Daithi and more children from Kiltaglassan.
I wish you both a very happy Christmas. You have certainly made mine.

HI Im not sure if Im doing this right, I am new here. I have just started to trace my family tree and I discovered Richard McCann from Railway Ave, is my Great Great grandfather. His daughter Annie McCann married Thomas Burke and they are my Great Grandparents, their daughter Margaret Keogh is my grandmother.
I wasn't sure of the name of Richards wife but I see now from your search that it is Anne Bowers, Thank you.

Hi and a very, very belated welcome to RootsChat, NMurphy :)
His daughter Annie McCann married Thomas Burke and they are my Great Grandparents........
Is this the marriage of your gt grandparents in 1928?
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1928/09080/5284711.pdf
Annie living at 25 Railway Place, Inchicore.
Married in St Michael's RC Church, Kilmainham.
Carhoglucan, with RootsChat's policy of no living person being mentioned, you probably need to remove the reference to J...... B.......

Kiltaglassan
I took out the mention of living persons as advised. Hope you are keeping well. That record you posted mentions my grandmother as a witness. Nice little surprise to discover this morning. Thanks again

I tried to send you a mail but your inbox is full. I have made contact with a Bowers family member and I have photos of our great and great great grandparents. If you are interested send a mail to me here and I can give you my personal e mail address

I tried to send you a mail but your inbox is full.
Unfortunately NMurphy hasn't been on RootsChat since March 2022 but if his/her email hasn't changed, he/she will receive notification of your post and will hopefully return.
In order to use the PM system, NMurphy needs to make at least two posts, before he/she can send or receive private messages.

Thanks Kiltaglassan.
