Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Handwriting on Marriage Certificate
« on: Thursday 16 March 17 00:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Hoping for some assistance in deciphering the handwriting on this Marriage Certificate please. 

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1925/09143/5306739.pdf

Seems 2 sisters, Mary Bennett and Elizabeth Bennett married on same day 14 April 1925. 

Seems Mary married John BRYAN?  Do you agree with his profession being Clerk, residence Sovereign St, Clonakilty, father is John Bryan, a shopkeeper?

For Mary, residence is Kilgarriff, Clonakilty, father Thomas Bennett?, farmer.

For Elizabeth, she married William ? (civil records has as DANICY), profession farmer, residence?, father John ?, farmer.

Elizabeth, residence Kilgarriff, Clonakilty, father Thomas Bennett?, farmer.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Cork / Parish Registers, Clonakilty? - Robert Bennett
« on: Thursday 01 December 16 00:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
Robert is my GG grandfather, he married Esther Kingston on 21 Feb 1846 in Desertserges, Cork.  I have found a death record for a Robert Bennett (Ireland Deaths 1864 - 1958 Transcription) that shows death registered Apr - Jun 1890, District Clonakilty, his age 78, birth year 1812.  Not sure if this is my Robert.

Have also found Robert Bennett in Griffiths Valuation 1848 - 1864, Parish of Kilgarriff.  Again, not sure if my Robert. Griffiths also shows a Abraham Bennett and a James Bennett.  Not sure if related.  Also shows George Kingston and Samuel Kingston, not sure if related to Esther.

Robert & Esther had at least 2 children, John born abt 1853 and Samuel (my G grandfather) born abt 1857.  Both John and Samuel were born in Clonakilty and emigrated to Australia and settled in Rockhampton, Queensland.  Samuel died in 1903 and John died in 1933.  I have obtained their parents details and approx DOB from their death certificates.  Both John and Samuel are buried in the Church of England section of the North Rockhampton cemetery so I presume Robert was also?

I have conducted searches on many different websites and not been able to advance my search.

Looking for advice/recommendations on how to advance my search to gather more info, e.g., -

1.  To confirm the above info.
2.  Parents of Robert & Esther.
3.  Other children of Robert & Esther, names, DOB, DOD.
4.  Burial location of Robert & Esther.
5.  Are there decendants of Robert & Esther still in the Clonakilty area?  My wife and I will be visiting Ireland next year intending to visit Clonakilty and would like to meet up with any relatives.

This is not my complete info list, a starting point . . .

Many thanks for any suggestions/assistance.

regards
Steve
