Catholic marriage certificate

[Boxeo]

Both widowers. So that explains it!

Told you so    Well done, mystery solved!

By the way, I have searched as best I can for Bridget in 1871 and can't find anything remotely convincing.

Really appreciate your efforts!

Strange isn't it, can't think why that would be

That is really good news.

Could this be Bridget in 1871?

Interesting.. Thanks

Her age would be different to what I have but not impossible, ages seem to change a lot on records 

[heywood]

Is there an address for her on the marriage certificate?

Maybe share what her possible/probable yob is from the info. you have to help with searches rather than us having to guess & do you know if she was born in Ireland or elsewhere?

Boxeo, what was her age on the marriage certificate? How does this match up with her age as given on other censuses (where you've managed to find her?)

[Boxeo]

The marriage certificate from 1868 shows her as 28. The census from 1881 has her age 37, 1901 56 and 1911 she's 70.
