I think some of your names are a bit mixed up there.

1881 - Ann (should be Martha) is in Ayr with William James.
She is a Private Soldier's wife 61st Brigade Depot.

Presumably you have this marriage info as you have John Duffy's parents.

1901 Tullamore
Anne Boothe is grandmother to John 15 yrs and Joseph 12 yrs.

You say that John Duffy died 1887 - do you have that death certificate?

Are you trying to confirm that the two Johns are the same person?

Bridget and John's marriage is the opening perhaps.

I have just seen a post of yours (I assume) on another forum. You have the information which connects these people apart from the marriage certificate which would give you John Duffy's father's name and hopefully that would tie everything up.

Apologies if I have confused you.
Yes that is right.

How do you get a marriage certificate from Ireland? That will have to be my first thing. It is a bit tenuous but probably worth a try. I do have the death certificate of John Duffy in 1887 in Tullamore. Bridget is the informant. I also have the birth certificate of John born 1886. That records mothers maiden name as Bridget Duffy formerly Booth. my problem is William James born 1875 in Ayr was thought to be an only child and we were unaware of a second marriage. I am just trying to confirm what I know and was hoping there might be other members of the Duffy family out there, my apologies

It does get confusing doesn't it when all these names are being bandied around.
Perhaps William James wasn't raised any further by his father and if that was his father who died just a few years later, he may not have known he had siblings or about the second marriage.

http://www.groireland.ie/  has all the details about obtaining a marriage certificate.

There is also http://www.rootsireland.ie/ (purchasing credits). Bridget Booth, you would imagine, is not as common a name as John Duffy so you may be able to find the marriage there.

Thanks seanmac

I have now seen the marriage of Bridget and John Duffy who married in 1884. They were only married three years before he died and I have found three children James born 1884, John 1886 and Joseph 1887 all in Tullamore. This must be the right marriage.
Bridgets parents were John and Ann Booth. Bridget was just 20 years when she married. So maybe married again

I'm glad you have it sorted out now.
It looks as though Anne Boothe died in 1904.
best wishes
