Wexford marriage
« on: Monday 12 October 09 20:23 BST (UK) »
Hi all I wonder if someone can help me find a marriage for a John Gowan to  Mary Byrne . I found them in the 1911 census and it says they have been married 30 years  but first child was born 1880  so it must be more then 30 years  both John and Mary were born in Gorey Wexford  so have been looking on family search but can not find a marriage for John any help would be great thanks.

Regards Manus

Hi Tom
Thank you for your reply and help. I don't Know much about my G-grandmother Mary Byrne. I was hoping to find her marriage certificate so I could find out who her father was   but maybe it would be better if I find her birth. I know she was born about 1858. thank you for the information. I will . as they could be related to Mary.

Regards Manus

Hi Manus,

I did have a look yesterday- Gowan/Gowen/McGowan etc- but now wondering if I am looking for the wrong people anyway! There are lots of Mary Byrne marriages which make it difficult but no cross reference.
Which 1911 census are they in and is the spelling Gowan?

thanks
heywood

Hi Haywood  Thank you for your help.   Yes the name is Gowan and the place is Wingfield Gorey Wexford I did find a marriage for a John Gowan on familysearch for 1858  but this I think is John's Father  as John was born about 1858 The Gowan's are the only family in Gorey at this time.

Hi again,
am confused  ???

1911 for Wingfield has Byrnes but no John and Mary Gowan - that I can see.
Have I missed them?
Or, are you saying that the marriage would be there and I have misunderstood.

thanks

Thanks for that Dara- I don't know what I was doing but the entries just didn't show when I searched as Gowan or Wingfield.  :-\
