Hi Jaylay!
Yes, I just saw two Mahood marriages being in two different churches which lead me to conclude that Alicia may not be her sister? possibly cousin?
I think it is a bit odd to have two siblings to have two different faiths from the same family. Anything is possible in the North of Ireland, I guess.
This raises a question--"whose" religion it was-Samuel Mahood's or Hughes's?
Now we have a "problem"--it seems that Edward Hughes marriage I found for you may be not him unless his occupation on it says otherwise. Are you sure that Sarah's marriage showed that her father as a butcher, same with Alicia's?
OK-have you contacted the churches in Markethill area? I am sure they will be delighted to confirm any information you are seeking.
Alicia's birth date is a bit too early for the Civil Registration as this is the FIRST year it was set up in Ireland. She probably was not registered but was baptised in the church.
That may means Sarah was born before her?
But I am curious as to those marriages (Sarah's and Alicia's). FA means she is over 21 or she did not know her actual age.
IF only they add the column to the marriage entry for a mother, it will make our lives a bit easier!!
Kind regards,
Tees
