Seeing that Margaret Campbell is said to of come of Co. Rosscommon would this be on marriage cert?

It will list the residence of bride (and groom) at the time of the marriage which may, or may not, be where she was born or where her family were living.

Further information on the parentage of John Evans has come to light, Father was William Evans, Mother was Anne Keohan/Teohan. Long shot I know all I know is the John came from Co. Fermanagh.

Fran,
       It is indeed a long shot. As John appears to have married 1864/65 there is a very good chance that his parents married before 1845 when Civil Registration of Protestant marriages started. If this is the case you will need to know the parish where John was born and preferably the townland as you will have to depend on church records, if they exist.

I think the best thing to do,is to buy the two marriage records for John Evans and Margaret Campbell from 1864 and 1865, and from the information on the marriage certs you will probably be able to move forward again( or is it backward).

Good luck
