MARTIN, Philip & MCMAHON, Mary
« on: Wednesday 24 April 19 14:36 BST (UK) »
Looking for some help finding a marriage record for Philip Martin (b. abt 1826) and Mary McMahon (b. abt. 1818).  I am hoping to get some information from their marriage record to continue with our family tree.

As far I can tell they immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1872, with their 4 children (Michael, Patrick, Mary and Philip). From what I can gather, all the children were born in Cavan, Ireland.

Mary died 6 Aug 1883 and then Philip died 25 May 1895. This information comes from their headstone at Saint Michael's Cemetery in Toronto, Canada (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/66772490). They both originated from Ireland. It states that Mary is from Co. Cavan on the headstone, but not sure about Philip. It does say he is from Dublin, Ireland on the information from Find a Grave website but I have no information to confirm that. I also can't seem to find a Ontario death record for either of them.

The only census I have is of 1891 in Toronto, Canada of Philip (widowed) living with his daughter's family (Mary Mcdonald).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I seem to be stuck without any further information regarding Philip and Mary's parents.

So who took photo? 

Do they have "inside" information??

This person has added almost 200,000 memorials through the site, so I am assuming there is no inside information. The memorial was probably added when the photo was taken and maybe the information was added incorrectly?

How old was the youngest child when they left Ireland?

Thank you. I can stop searching now.
 I got the impression you had no place other than Cavan.
