Thomas Gearon
« on: Wednesday 28 March 18 09:03 BST (UK) »
Thomas Gearon, born 16 June 1908 in Belfast, Antrim.

Searching for details of the names of his parents and also details around marriage to Mary Elizabeth McLaughlin (born 15 January 1911 also in Belfast, Antrim).

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

The following link shows the marriage of Thomas Gearon and Kate Kennedy in 1889, fathers recorded as Patrick Gearon and James Kennedy:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1889/10747/5918981.pdf

Note that the St. Patrick's Church record of the marriage identified the groom's parents as Patrick Gearon and Mary Quinlan, the bride's parents as James Kennedy and Kate Fitzpatrick, the groom's parent's address was given as 4 Rotherhithe Rd, Bermondsey, London.

Possibly Kate's baptism on 3 December 1868 in Drumlane RC parish (3rd entry down)?

Thank you gaffy - may I ask where I am able to see the St Patrick's Church record on line at all, if at all?

This is great information to have the name of both Patrick Gearon AND Mary Quinlan - now I want to go further!

I'm not aware of any current online resource which will show an image of that record.
