I am posting this as would be interested to hear views from  other family historians.   The marriage took place at St Lukes Church of Ireland and some years back I downloaded the certificate I think from the Irish Family History Foundation website or similar. I suspect this certificate was the original.    The groom William MCathie was shown as "widower", full age, cabinetmaker, son of George, a painter.  To my surprise I now find a copy of the same record on irishgenealogy.ie website and there the groom is "bachelor" - everything else matches. 
I suspect the groom may have been married 1stly on 5 Dec 1862 Dublin Castle, to Isabella Johnston, however I have not as yet gone for that certificate as my interest is in the 1872 marriage.  I can find no record of a death of Isabella McCathie (first wife)  1869-1872 Dublin or elsewhere but not surprising as 4 children of the first marriage were registered under variations of the McCathie Surname. I do have details of births & baptisms but nothing thereafter.  There were twins born in 1869 (McKetey) one of whom was "Isabella".
William and Margaret Critchley had 3 children from the 1872 marriage but I can find no record of birth of daughter Isabella thought to have been born abt 1873 in Dublin.  The other two children were born in Scotland (William's birthplace) and in Queensland, Australia.  William McCathie died in 1879 in Queensland.     Leaving the possibility of a first marriage out of the equation how should I view the two 1872 marriage certificates as to Groom's marital status?!!   I have put this in the "too hard basket"   Many thanks   Alma

This couple married in 1855 Swansea, UK.  They had at least 2 children - Elizabeth and Robert born in Dalry, Ayrshire,Scotland.  I am trying to locate details on Bridget's parents.  She was born in Ireland and appears in 1851 census UK Swansea as "lodger".  She may be listed in the Scotland's People website under Catholic deaths where I believe less detail is given than in RGO deaths.   Would my best hope be her marriage certificate in Swansea?  I think the family appear in 1861 census Dalry,Ayrshire,Scotland.  (Various spellings make this a tad difficult to search)

Warm regards

Looking for any descendants of Morris GOLDSTEIN  who probably arrived in UK after 1851 from Poland or Russia  & his wife Rosetta Harris Goldstein, born Whitechapel.  In 1881 of 4 St Marks St, a master tailor. Interviewed by Wm Booth about conditions of the poor in the area.   Later of 70 Sandringham Street, Dalston.  Had a large family and a daughter was a Mrs Lewis White of Brighton.  Morris died 26 Jan 1920 aged 90yrs and Rosetta died 1933.  A son Henry died in 925, Dalson, probably unmaried.  The family were of the Jewish faith.

Thanks

Hi

Looking for any family links to George Reid Smith Cochrane and his wife Brigid Cecilia buried 1990 & 1985 Cooroy Cemetery, parents and grandparents.  Perhaps a family member may see this post.  I am linked to George via his mother Isabella Critchley McCathie who went out to Gympie as a toddler.

Thanks
