Richard Bull Snr.

[Tweetybird21]

Richard Bull was married in 1850 in Limerick, Ireland...according to civil records on genealogy.ie.

Is there anyway I can find out who he was married to (probably a Church Of lreland marriage).

He had a son, also called Richard, in Co. Tipperary who went on to became sub-sheriff of Birr.

Thanks!

Noting that on irishgenealogy.ie,  the bride's name is recorded CANTLON

A tip: Had the marriage record not been found by Carole on Family Search, by using irishgenealogy.ie and bringing up all the Limerick Civil marriages for 1850 (203 of them) then searching those (via Ctrl+f) for '628' being the returns page number showing on Richard Bull's entry, would  find 5 grooms and 5 brides for the same reference as Richard Bull,  that is, narrowing his bride to a choice of 5 :-)

Returns Year: 1850
Returns Quarter: 1
Returns Volume No: 6
Returns Page No: 628.

Also, I'm looking at an image from St Michaels, Limerick (Catholic), 1851 Baptisms and:
11th August, Thomas, son of Richard BULL & Bridget CANTLON, sponsors Thomas Tierney and Mary Tierney.

Cheers

Thanks so much for the tips! Wow, Im always amazed by all your detective work on here!

Unfortunately though I think I may be barking up the wrong tree or in this case, the wrong Bull!

On both the 1901 and 1911 census it says Richard Bull was born in Co. Tipperary and both times he's listed as Church of Ireland.

Ive a feeling he may be connected to William H Bull from Nenagh (1810-1876) who was a petty sessions law clerk but I cant find any records of William having a son called Richard. Its a mystery!

Richard's wedding notice refers to "Thomas Bull" rather than the "late Thomas Bull" but possible link?

Limerick Chronicle, 29 Dec 1838
DEATHS
Mr Thomas Bull, a respectable saddler and harness maker, in this City, and grandson of the late Captain Bull, Prince of Wales Fencibles.

Limerick and Clare Examiner, 26 Oct 1850

The following marriage notices were read - between Joseph Young and Anne Clements and between Richard Bull and Bridget Cantwell of Francis Street.

Hopefully, the Cantlon household read the Limerick Reporter - else the above might have given Bridget a touch of the vapours!
