St Mary Walsall Catholic Church

[My Nana]

In the March qtr of 1864 Catherine Palmer,widow, married John Gibson, widow, in the Walsall area.
I know they were both born in Ireland.

Please could anyone look for this marriage in the St Mary Walsall Catholic Church registers to see if they give Catherine's maiden name.

Hi

Where did you get the info from that Catherine was a widow?

Bit of an assumption because in 1881 census, by which time Catherine Gibson is a widow, her daughter Sarah Palmer born Darlston 1856/7 is with her. Of course Sarah could have been illegitimate but suspect a link to another Irish ancestral surname.
Unfortunately have failed to find Catherine or Sarah on the 1861 census.
