margaret horan 1869 westmeath

[margemcm59]

Hi, My great grandmother was called Margaret Horan, born in Westmeath 1869, in later life she is in the Belfast census as a tailoress.  She  married  a British soldier Edward Browning who was stationed in Fermoy,her first born (my grandmother) was born in Fermoy 1893.  Any information about Margaret (Maggie) or Edward Brownings earlier lives would be fantastic, thank you.

ADDED AGAIN: I see from the free 1911 Irish census that Maggie was born in Mullingar, which narrows your search. She says she is 30 [however on this census my grandmother said she ws 27 but was actually 32  ].

Got yourself confused with the Census Josey, I do that all the time.
30 in 1901

Hi There

Have you not gotten the marriage of Margaret & Edward yet ?

This would have Margaret's father's name and occupation on it !

You mentioned Fermoy BTW and Browning is not an Irish name at all . . .  there is a James Edward Browning born 1892 (died in childhood) in Fermoy Cork ~ a possible earlier child than your Grandmother !

BTW Are you off to try and claim Niall Horan's millions

The free index on rootsireland shows

Margaret Horan marrying Edward Browning in 1889 in Mullingar RC Church in Westmeath.

I can't find a corresponding civil record yet !

rootsireland are a pay per view site and it will cost about 4 euro to get a transcription of the church record.

I checked the free index and I'm afraid there doesn't seem to be mention of their parent's names on it ~ just NR ie Not Registered.

This is not uncommon though !

Do you have any idea of Edward's origins in England ?

Have you found him on earlier British Census ?

Do you have military records for him ?

Do you know what his father's name was ?
