Looking for DALY marriage in Flushing (Mylor) help!!

[GertieB]

Can anyone help me find the marriage of Daniel Daly (born about 1777 in Ireland) to Elinor ? (born about 1784) from Flushing, Cornwall.  At that time, the local parish was in Mylor.  I think they were married in about 1805.  He was in the coast guard.  I also think they may have had a son, Daniel Daly, who was born in 1807 and died in 1820 in Flushing but I'm not sure. 
I'd love to learn what Elinor's last name was.
Cheers,
Jane

Hi,

On the Cornwall OPC site there is a

Daniel Dayley who has Burial Record of 22 June 1820 in Mylor Flushing aged 13.  Son of Daniel and Eleanor Dayley.

But unable to find a marriage or Baptism, for the above named.

Hi Cancan,
I did find that Daniel Dayley and I suspect it was their son.  But I couldn't find a marriage or that son's birth either using the online site.  I suspect I shall have to order the church registers.
Cheers,

Hi,

I recently searched  the microfilms (Microfilms from the LDS Church)
for Mylor of Marriages, Baptisms and burials, as I have a family from there.  The film is exactly what they have transcribed on line on the Cornwall opc site.

Whilst in places very feint it was readable, so I wouldn't say they have missed any.

Oh dear.  If the marriage isn't in the Mylor records, then I'm not sure where to look.  I do need to look at Daniel Dayley's death in more detail.  At least I know that is in the records.  Daniel Daly was an Irish Catholic ..so they may have had an issue getting married in Mylor. 
Cheers,

Hi Gertie,

Yes it does seem to be a tricky one. I have looked and looked to no avail. No sign of a baptism for Daniel and no marriage listed in Cornwall. As a Coastguard of course he could have been anywhere. The only mention I have found is of him in Norfolk through the census, nothing on where he was previously stationed.

We know he was in Flushing and Eleanor seems quite consistant with a birth in Flushing 1884/5 by what she says in the 1851 and 1861 census entries. Daughter Caroline born in Mothecombe Devon according to the census. (and about 20 years after Daniel, so one would think there should be other births)

I have hunted and hunted for any Eleanor's at all baptised in Mylor and did eventually find only one possible, but without a marriage it really is just a stab in the dark. Alas it is not listed on the OPC site and it must be a hard to read entry.

WRO (don't you just love it  ) Eleanor baptised Mylor 1 May 1785 mother Hae? Without being able to see the entry I can't really hazard a guess as to what her name may be.

There will be no more information re Daniels burial. That is the entire entry (fortunately parents and residence are listed)

You can order printouts of the entries from the CRO

Catholic marriages were not legal in England until 1837.  A few still took place. I know there was a Catholic Chapel at Lanherne but the marriage is not listed there. I really don't know what Irish Catholics were likely to have done. Would they have gone to Ireland to wed?

Hi Kris,
Thank you so much for the information.  That could be my Elinore (Elinor; Eleanor...I've seen it spelled all ways for her in the censuses and on her death certificate).  I thought her last name might be Elliot as her youngest daughter's name was Caroline Sarah Elliot Daly.  They had 2 other children, James Daly (c1823) and Christiana Rhoda Daly (c1819), both born in Mothercombe near Plymouth, Devon.  I've never found where any of the children were baptized (all info I have on them is from census data).
I don't think Caroline was born Catholic.  But she married a Catholic.  My grandfather told my Mum that he has a Catholic grandmother.  I'm not sure he meant Caroline or Daniel Daly's mother.  After Plymouth they moved to Great Yarmouth, where they lived the rest of their life.
The year 1785 would be just right for Eleanor.  What does WRO mean?  Gads ...I wish we could read that entry.  Would it be legible in Bishops transcripts or anything do you think?
Cheers,
Gertie

Its the surname Gertie

WRO which is why I was laughing when I saw it - presumably ROW/E

As I said it may not be her but she is the only Eleanor or like I have been able to find baptised in Mylor at the right sort of time and your Eleanor was consistant with that in the census entries.

as I said as you have the date and parish etc you could order a printout of the baptism record. Still it is nothing like ELLIOT.

Cheers Kris

Thanks Kris.
Yes I think I will order it.
Drat that it isn't close to Elliot.  That theory down the drain!
Cheers,
Gertie
