Shumacker Johnson Wedding 1844 Cork

[curiousgeorge1]

You must be a lucky charm.

Just found an announcement in a paper. Correct date, correct fathers name...

A wedding between Kate Johnson and Henry Sochomorker of Germany 

In the Cathedral of Cork no less by the very Rev the Dean of Cork

Yeh.....those who I have troubled will know how long I have been looking for this

At last I have a lead for this elusive marriage. As you know I have been searching for a wedding on 1st December 1844 in Cork between Henry Shumacker and Catherine Johnson.

I have now found a newspaper report detailing a marriage on that date between a Mr Henry Sochomorker and Kate, youngest daughter of the late Mr Noble Johnson.

By the Very Rev the Dean of Cork, in the Cathedral.

Pretty sure these records will also have been lost although I believe there may have been a transcription

The church of Ireland Cathedral was St. Fin Barre's and the place to check for records is the Representative Church library in Dublin. A marriage record from 1844 will not show very many details, prob. just date, names of bride and groom possibly addresses and maybe witnesses

Thanks

according to an old list I have the records for St. Finbarr's go back to the 1750s

[curiousgeorge1]

Does that mean a record for a wedding in 1844 would have survived?

[athacliath62]

providing there are no gaps or missing page etc then it appears there may be - but dont expect very much detail

the old list I have is of records held by the RCB library in 2010

The only sugar refinery I've found to date for that period in Cork is that of Evans, Thwaites & Co at Crosses Green ... doubt he would have wanted to walk far to work.

  re walking.

Thanks for the Evans Thwaites

Does it seem logical that a sugar boiler would get married in the cathedral, or was it location based
