Edward Loftus - Born Dublin married Farrell 1915 - owned a tailors shop in Keady?

Here's a possible match for Edward on the 1911 census :

  Hugheston/Cunningham/Loftus household - Main St., Keady
   
and a possible marriage between Edward and Teresa Farrell in 1915 from the BMD Index :

  Name: Edward Loftus
  Registration district:   Armagh
  Event type: Marriage
  Quarter and year: Apr-Jun 1915
  Volume: 1 / Page: 65

  Teresa Farrell
  [same index references as Edward]

 A marriage cert would give you further details on the couple, such as names and occupations of their fathers...

see :  Introduction to Irish Records
         Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
         Details included on a Marriage Cert

Also interested in any info surrounding the Murder of Elizabeth Duffy in March 1898 - apparently her husband was arrested for it?

Belfast Newsletter of 17 Mar.1898 reported that Elizabeth Duffy died 14 March. Husband was Francis Duffy. Daughter Minnie (or Catherine?) Duffy was aged 11. Cause of death- perforation of small bowel according to inquest. Afterwards husband charged with causing her death but couldn't find report of trial.
