The Common Room / Re: Catholic name searches

It is often the other way around. Margaret is an Anglicization of Margarita.

In any case, fines for late registration were only introduced in 1874, and that applied after three months.

Ireland / Re: Which birth/baptism records to trust?
« on: Sunday 22 September 24 02:17 BST (UK) »Checking registers.nli.ie she was born on the 12th April 1871 and baptised on the 16th April 1871.
Ballina would be Kilmoremoy parish.
Your explanation regarding fines for late registration for births makes the most sense to me.
No, that isn't the explanation. In the specific example you gave, the civil registration was well within the time period allowed for registration.
The reality is more prosaic. Here is the birth registration in question - Mary Anne Dogherty, 1871

The parents were illiterate laborers. Such people did not live by the calendar. They did not have calendars, and could not have read one even if they did. After a month, they did not know the exact date.

Referring to OP's example: The baptism, obviously!
Couldn't have been baptized if she wasn't born yet, could she?

But that isn't a marriage, is it.
It is a baptism.

The second marriage of William's grandson, Thomas Devereux, in 1874 can be seen at the following link.

Thomas is the Thomas Devereux mentioned in the memorial inscription posted by julesis.

Umm... first thing you might do is use the English versions of their names.
They weren't known as Joanis and Mariae, etc.
