Samuel HENDRIE bc 1838 & Mary CAMPBELL bc1829

[Ruskie]

Genuki does not have any place names which fit with this. Does anyone have any ideas? I was wondering if it may be abbreviated?

Searching on Groni, I have noticed two marriages for Samuel Henry and Mary Campbell.

All details on the index are the same apart from the dates:
21st July 1848
27 Oct 1848

Might this be two couples or was the marriage registered/performed twice? Might there be any difference in the results if it is the same couple?

Any suggestions/advice most welcome.

Hi Ruskie,
Irish place names not my forte but it looks to start with the same letter as the location of the birth which is also not clear
Jamieson's Land New D ?
So an Antrim location starting with D ?
Looby

Is it a place name or is it Dec for December??
How are the other marriage dates written on the page?
i.e. complete date or year and month?

More expense for you  but maybe your going to have yo look at Samuel Hendrie born 1861's birth to see if dates and location of marriage are clearer. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQBZ-JW5
Scottish birth regs held a lot of info in 1855 , the year registration began. Some things like parent's wedding details were removed from the regs in 1856. They began recording them again in 1861. So I'd like to think Samuel's will have the info.

Yes, it's Jamieson's Land, New Dundyvan Looby. 

Yes, purchasing Samuel's 1861 b/c might be the easiest solution to this ...

From Samuel's 1861 b/c

[Ruskie]

It is the correct family. They were living at 81 Merryston Sqr in the 1861 census ...

Looking at how Samuel's b/c is filled in, I think you might be correct Looby - it looks like William's b/c says his parents married in 1850 Dec^r . At least it looks like Samuel (dad) had a better guess about his marriage date this time. 

Does that say "County Londonderry"? 
[added: yes, looks like another name for County Derry - and apparently the capital is Coleraine  ]

I am especially unknowledgable about Northern Ireland.

Information from the Oct 27 1848 marriage of Samuel Henry and Mary Campbell:
Ballywillan Presbyterian (Manse?)
He is 27, she is 26
Both residents of Claypin/Cloyfin?
His father John Henry, labourer
Her father Hugh Campbell, farmer
Wits: Thomas B--th?, Joseph Campbell
married by licence.

So. Both fathers are wrong.

Samuel's father was Samuel according to Samuel's 1898 d/c and his m/c to Elizabeth Wilson. His mother was Peggy McCook on both.

According to Mary's 1869 d/c her parents are John Campbell (land steward deceased) and Jane Chalmers (deceased).

It looks like this is not the correct marriage certificate for my Samuel and Mary. Would you all agree?

Is t worth viewing the 21 July 1848 m/c? Or is that the same couple entered twice for some reason?
