Down / CLARK in Moira, Down
« on: Sunday 25 September 11 18:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Can anyone help me. I want to obtain a copy certificate or other source evidence for a marriage that took place in Moira, Down, Ireland on 15 Jul 1856 between Thomas Clark and Mary Ann Mullen - possibly in Moira Parish Church (Church of Ireland).

Thomas might have been aged 21 and from Ballykeel, Magheralin, and a servant. Mary Ann might have been 19, a servant from Lurganville.

As far as I know, the family were not catholic. On their death certificates, Thomas's father is listed as John Clark, his mother as Alice Campbell; Mary Ann's parents are listed as John Mullen and Margaret McGrath.

PS I have seen this related thread

and am working on the same family, although some details are different. The details I have come from Scottish certificates.

Donegal / MARLEYs in Drummacaladdery, Donegal

Hi,

I'm looking for further info on the marriage of John Marley and Gillie (or Julie) McBride in Drummacaladdery, Kilmacrenan Parish, Donegal circa 1800. The Marleys were Roman Catholics.

I know they had a son, Hugh, born in Drummacaladdery on 21 May 1835 who married in Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland on 22 Nov 1855 and who died in 1911 in Shotts.

By that time his mother, Gillie (or Julie) was dead (when living, she was described as a house servant). Did she die in Drummacaladdery? What house(s) in the area was/were big enough to merit a servant? Hugh's father, John Marley, a labourer, was still living at the time of Hugh's marriage. Was he living in Drummacaladdery or did he travel to Scotland with Hugh?

Did Hugh travel to Scotland alone or did he have any Marley siblings still living in Drummacaladdery or nearby? Possible names for siblings might be Bridget, James, John, Mary, Johanna...

Where is the best place to find info about the inhabitants of Drummacaladdery in the late 18th, early 19th century?

 ;D Sorry for the onslaught of questions! I'm just fascinated by the place... what a great name.

Any help would be much appreciated.
