It was interesting for me, with the later access to the web, to find out where her memories were wrong -

I know what you mean, my gran had the family name of a great grandfather a bit wrong (Trotter instead of Trotman) but because she had provided where he was from and his occupation I was able to find my 2XGG. I wouldn't have known where to start otherwise.

Yes that's the record.  Thank you both for this information. It is what I thought but I am not RC and don't read latin so thought I'd better check.

I believe it was in the city of Cork. The record is the Ireland, Roman Catholic Parish Register for Cloyne, Cobh 1812 - 1877.  The couple are Mary Burke and John Picot the entry shows Picott and the marriage date is 12 Feb 1852.

Does this help?

Ireland / Notation on Roman Catholic marriage register "clem disp in religione"

Can anyone interpret the above notation that appears under the names of the couple that I am researching.  It appears in the marriage register for Cork county RC church. I thought it might have to do with the fact that the groom is not from the parish, and possibly not Roman Catholic.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I am so fortunate that my grandmother wrote out her memories and stories told to her by her grandmother before she died. It has been a wealth of information that not only helped me trace our tree but added stories about her ancestor's occupations, descriptions and things that they did that put "flesh" on the "bones" of the people, dates and places. One of my favorite stories is of her grandmother, Elizabeth Trotman, who was head chambermaid at the Grand Hotel on the IOW, had a brush with royalty. It seems that King Edward, while he was prince of Wales, was a known prankster and he set fire to her train (as befitted her station she had a short train to her bustle). She complained to management and was given an apology and a nice tip.

I have a book called "To my daughter, with love" which asks about my childhood and life events that I am to fill in and give back to my daughter.  I am gradually filling in details as I remember them and hope that it will give my grandchildren the same thrill I have when reading my grandmothers memories.
