Seeking information on the date/place of marriage of Mary Josephine McKenna (born 1879) from Co Monaghan, a widow, who married a Toal man, and they were living in Belfast. I don't have dates for the marriage, nor the first name of the groom. Mary's maiden name was Conlon, and sometime after the death of her first husband in 1912 she left Monaghan. She had one son Francis McKenna, she herself was born in Monaghan, and her father's name was Patrick Conlon, a farmer. By the time of her only son's death in Co Down in 1953 she was described as Mrs Mary J Toal.....sorry the information is vague, I have fairly good information on her previous family line. Thanks in advance.
