Lavin Marriage - Wexford
« on: Wednesday 08 February 12 16:43 GMT (UK) »
I posted this request earlier this week on the County Mayo Board.
At the time I thought both the Lavins were born in County Mayo.
I have been to a family funeral today and a cousin corrected me, that Winifred was born in Wexford, so perhaps they were married in Wexford.
Can anyone help me to track down this marriage please?

I am looking for the marriage of my great grandparents
John LAVIN b 1846 married Winifred LAVIN b1848 in the late 1860s
By 1870, they were living in England, their eldest son James was born in Batley, they ecentually settled in Wigan.
There was always a family story about a Lavin marrying a Lavin.
From their children's birth certificates, this is true.
The name is sometimes down as LAVAN
I cannot find a marriage in England, so it is a possibility that they married in Ireland before moving to England.
According to later census records, they were both born in County Mayo.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the marriage record please?
Thanks

The only marriage for a Winifred Lavin anywhere in Ireland in the period 1864 – 1871, shown on the Irish civil index, is in Castlereagh, Mayo (1866 Vol 9, page 76). She didn’t marry someone also named Lavin, as far as I can see.

Oh well, I half expected that.
Thanks for taking the time to look.
It looks like this is as far I will get with my Lavins.
