Catholic marriage certificate

Hi

Could someone please give me a hand reading this.. 

Thanks

I think I have this right

The Marriage was on the 4th July 1868 between
Michael Bergen of Low Downs, son of ? Darbi and Elizabeth [Bergen] married to Bridget Burns, daughter of John & Catherine Devlin.

Witnesses, Martin Gorham and Maria Tymon.

Officiating priest was Joseph Aloysius Browne.

I'm uncertain of the meaning of (ib) after the bride's name.

I'm uncertain of the meaning of (ib) after the bride's name.

Just remembered, it's an abbreviation of 'ibidem' which means 'in the same place', i.e. she was also from Low Downs.

Thank you very much, I assume that means Michael was from County Down, Ireland?

I found a census where Bridget has put her birthplace as County Armagh but looks like they're right next to each other so could make sense.

Her name shows as Burns but parents Devlin.. Why do you think this would be?

Thank you

No, it's where he was living at the time. Low Downs was a place in County Durham.

Ah. Thank you

Presumably she’d been married previously. Have you got the civil marriage certificate, which would show if she was a widow?

Unfortunately that's all I have, someone else has mentioned that Burns might have been her dad's surname but her mum remarried to Devlin, so could be her step father.

Did they have children?
GRO records would show her surname.
