Why not two different Andrews.
The Guckavan birth has a Rathconnell address

But I can't find a marriage.

Haven't found the Mary Jane birth, pity it doesn't give the parish on FamilySearch.

Think this is Mary Jane, she's indexed as Mary - parish is Rathconnell and this time MMN is Cook

Ah I see, all have the same address,
So the question is did the Registar mishear the surname on Mary Jane's birth.

Guckavan is an unusual surname, I would think it's less likely to be a mistake as the Registar would no doubt have asked her to repeat it or spell it. On the John birth Andrew is down as a pensioner, that is more than likely an army pension, do you know if Mary Jane's father served with the Army?

To be honest, Sinann, I didn't even notice that!

I've no idea, unfortunately - is there anything online that I could search?

Found their marriage :)

April 1869 in Mullingar parish register - she's transcribed as Guckevan

Near the bottom of right hand page

I don't see a Civil Cert.

So the trick now would be to find Mary Jane's baptism.

I was looking at that baptism last night but got distracted and didn't post it, only looking at it now I remembered.
