[Muffin41]

Can anyone help me find the families of Francis Gaffney born ca 1842,
& Ann Wheatley  born ca 1844. Both in Edenderry Kings County.

They later either married ca 1867 in Ireland OR in Queensland Australia.

The reference posted by aghadowey is from an extracted record on familysearch, and includes the reference '447'. This corresponds to a page number in a civil register, which includes the full details, in case you wish to check the details with a marriage cert. This will give a few additional details such as the name of the church, the groom & father's occupation's, residences for the bride and groom etc.

This BMD Index references matches the extracted record :

 Name: Anne Whately
 Registration District: Edenderry
 Event Type: Marriage
 Year: 1864
 volume : 18 / page : 447

  Name: Francis Gaffney
  [same index details]

The registration district of Edenderry includes areas around the town of the same name in King's county (Offaly) and part of counties Kildare and Meath.

What's the source of the details you have on the marriage ?

My first source is the marriage of their daughter Mary Ann GAFFNEY to Henry James HODDINOTT 21.04.1902 in Brisbane Queensland Australia. Mary was born 04.04.1868 in Queensland.

I had her parents given as Francis & Anne GAFFNEY - nee WHATELY without their wedding details.

I had found a William & Catherine GAFFNEY who I thought were the parents of Francis which is wrong ......................

I am now researching back to find out more about the parents of Francis & Ann GAFFNEY.
