Hi aghadowey

After all my attempts to find my gr.grandparents marriage without anyluck, I've just made a surprising discovery!!

After you had said that the date could be wrong I decided to do a search for more Graffin births at UHF and have found the following:

Ahoghill, Birth & Baptism  25/12/1879, Charles Graffin,Roman Catholic, Father: Charles Graffin, Mother: Jane Darragh

I think this probably means it was unlikely that the marriage took place on 25/10/1879!  I had seen this birth listing before but had ignored it as it was before the date I had for the marriage.

As a bonus the priest has kindly added a note on Charles's own marriage details at the bottom of the page!  I can't believe my luck here - I had thought that my grandfather only had 3 brothers!

Thank you so much- as I would never have questioned the original marriage date if you hadn't  suggested it could be wrong.

Charlotte

Charlotte- it's so nice when 'missing' things turn up.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
