I am trying to trace a marriage of a Robert Ellsworth Turner who I believed lived in Londenderry Ireland any information would be greatly appreciated
-
Any idea of date? name of bride?, etc. Place would also help- Londonderry can refer to both the city or the county. Robert's marriage could be listed under 'Robert Turner' without the middle name and thus more information is really needed.
P.S. it is Turner and not Tuner?
-
The area in Londenderry I have are names Ballybrack and Blackrock if that helps Robert Turner would have married after 1900 anytime up to 1930 I am not sure of his wifes maiden name but I believed her first name was Hellen or Ellen or Hellena and it is said she came from Darlington or thereabouts but that is all the information Ihave on this lady
-
Ballybrack & Blackrock sound more like South Dublin than Derry - any more placenames to try ?

Can't see a marriage for a Robert Turner to Helen/Ellen, etc. in Co. Derry unp to 1925. Are you sure the marriage took place in Co. Derry?
There's an area (not a townland) outside Kilrea in Co. Londonderry called Blackrock.
However, those 2 townlands appear in Co. Donegal:
Ballybrack, Moville Lower, Donegal (Inishowen)
Blackrock, Clonleigh, Donegal (Strabane)

Good luck in finding the marriage but it may be difficult if the groom's name apears in the index as just Robert Turner.
