Hello 'Christopher' and 'aghadowey',
You guys have taken me by surprise and I must thank you both for keeping me in mind. It's nearly a year since my last posting on the Maddens and I must admit that I had largely given up on Irish research because of them.

I have looked at the Emerald Ancestors site following a tip-off by a fellow rootschatter. However, I failed to find my Andrew Madden. I may have missed something but following your prompting I will have another go.
aghadowey,
The possibility of the Andrew Madden/ Annie Boyce marriage in Coleraine in 1884 being the marriage that I'm after has crossed my mind purely because it is the only marriage of an Andrew that I can find. However I already have my Annie Madden, maiden surname Kyle or Vance, from actual birth and marriage certificates of her son John.
The possibility that my maiden surnames are Kyle, Vance or Boyce seems unlikely but, as we all learn, not impossible.
Even if I saw the Madden/Boyce marriage certificate I could not be certain that they were the correct couple. I do not have any knowledge of my Maddens parents.
Thanks again for taking the trouble to help. I will have another think about where I go next.
