Hi, am looking for the marriage of John Davey to Mary Theresa ??? in 1911. Any help much appreciated
-
there's a marriage on the BMD Index for a John Davey in 1911 - but I dont see a cross match for this to a Mary Theresa ...
Name: John Davey
Registration district: Sligo
Event type: Marriage
Quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1911
Volume: 2 / Page: 326
Do you know what part of Co. Sligo this marriage took place ?
p.s. have you census returns for the family ?

Hello,
could she be Mary Jane? There is a Mary Jane Cooney with the same reference.

Hi
I found that one on family search but canīt find the brideīs maiden name. They are buried in Kilmacowen churchyard and I am looking into the possibility that this is Johnīs second marriage as in 1901 John Davey was married to Bridget who died in 1907. Their children were being looked after by their maternal grandmother in 1911, but I canīt find John. Have looked into emigration and prison records with no success. How would I find the burial records for Kilmacowen cemetery?
-
Will look into Mary Jane Cooney thanks

Hi,
I notice you asked re the cemetery earlier: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,614287.msg4632192.html#msg4632192
That site shows a John Davey, Mary Teresa and Roseann - perhaps that is where you got the name from. There is no indication re ages or further details on the site but the owner does mention photos. There may be more information then.

It has been a family mystery what became of John. Think I will organise a search at the register office to try to find out when he died
-
Did the children never return to their father?
-
No. The story goes that John turned to drink after his wife died and that he died soon after Bridget, who died in 1907, but the only record I can find is a death in 1943.
-
So he may not have married either.
It is difficult. Is he alive when Bridget dies? Do you have her death certificate?
I can't see a death for Mary Davey, his mother. Do you have that? Nor can I see her in 1911.
-
I canīt find Mary (Maria ) in 1911, but I have found a death in 1920. I think that I need to obtain Bridgetīs death certificate and try to take it from there
-
Also, if you think that is your Mary, that death certificate may be worth getting to see who reported the death.
