Shumacker Johnson Wedding 1844 Cork

[athacliath62]

if the marriage was in 1844 you need to know where in Co. Cork, as in which parish. Some church of Ireland records for the N.E. of the county are on rootsireland

I have been reading the introduction to Irish records and now understand that the Church of Ireland is one alternative to the Catholic Church.

I am grateful for the previous help. I just thought the episcopal connection might make a difference in where I looked.

In Scotland we have the Church of Scotland which is different from the Scottish Episopal Church which is part of the Anglican communion.

I understand that previous questions were very helpfully answered. I didn't fully understand the Episcopal connection.

I presume that because of the dominance of the Catholic Church as the national church the Episopal church was a minority alternative

Previous links to the one and only marriage to Margaret Johnson have been tantalising but almost sure it is the wrong Johnson, however much I would wish otherwise.

I have Catherine's parents as Noble Johnson and Mary Edwards, this information from her death certificate.

Once again I am not asking for revisiting of old queries. I thought the Anglican angle was worth pursuing.

to give you an idea of the no. of parishes you would have search see the map on the Irish times roots site : http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/civilparish/index.cfm?fuseaction=GetMap&CityCounty=Cork

Episcopal = Church of Ireland here, and was the established religion here in the early 1800s

Cross posted......thanks for this.

He was a sugar boiler so I have always presumed, dangerous, that it was the city of cork where refineries would be found.

Once again not looking for anyone to go searching for something we have not previously been able to find.

Got excited about the episcopalian angle......clutching at straws

The Church of Ireland was the Established (i.e. State) Church and entirely separate from the Roman Catholic religion. Thus, the civil parishes are those of the Church of Ireland but Catholic parishes will have their own names and boundaries.

Thanks for this.

Previous posts helped me understand that getting married in the English Episcopal Church in Scotland was extremely unusual.

Didn't realise that the Church if Ireland was Episcopalian. The Church of Scotland, state church, is different from the Scottish Episcopalian Church.

[athacliath62]

I think Church of Scotland is closer to Presbyterian

[curiousgeorge1]

That is correct. I think it is regarded as the state church. I could be wrong though.
