What denomination church did the 1899 marriage take place in? This would be a good indication of John Thomas' religion?
Wexford & Donegal

Marriages usually, but not always, took place in the bride's church.

Is the marriage in Ireland? or is it the 1899 one in Dorset you mentioned on 1st posting?

Difficult to answer your question without knowing which country the marriage took place in. If it is Ireland, then a 'parish church' on a certificate would be Church of Ireland also called Established Church.

either of the births might be right but i don't think the death is because he died in lyme regis in 1901.

i'm not sure what religion he was unfortunately. i don't really know anything. i think someone from the family has tried to wipe all trace of him.

I can't even see a death in 1901 for him! It is difficult to trace someone who does everything between censuses especially when we don't know where they originate from.
There is no real evidence that he is Irish. We know he is a widower from the marriage certificate - we don't have a wife's name to check a death. He has a very common name. There's not much hope really is there?

best wishes
heywood
