Looking for Tierney - Pawley marriage circa 1888

[gaffy]

... I was going from the free index on UHF, but they do include births, and it seems they include "civil birth records for Belfast (incomplete)"

Yes, the UHF index has civil records as well, that's probably what happened. I now doubt if George Pauley existed, I wouldn't be surprised if George Bell didn't exist either, there was clearly some fabrication going on by Fanny.  Which also makes me more uncertain whether she and James actually got married.

I too am researching James Tierney and Fanny Pauley.

My great grandfather was Andrew Tierney.  There was an Andrew born in 1902 who died then my gg was born a few years later and called after him.

I am totally confused by Fanny Pauley and unable to find anything on her, James or this George person!

I would be interested if you have any steering.  The fact that James tierney was no longer there in 1911 census is also a mystery. 

Just pointing out - When Fanny had her first born William, she would have only been 16 years old.  I cannot see how she was married prior to that.  I am uncertain of a birth cert for her, but she was 29 years old in the 1901 census.

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks

I am uncertain of a birth cert for her, but she was 29 years old in the 1901 census.

That age could easily be an underestimate by 10+ years..... In 1911, 10 years later, she is stated to be 47!

Link to Fanny Pawley birth 1866

The Fanny Pawley born 1866 in Co. Tyrone was baptized Catholic. That is inconsistent with religion as stated on the 1911 census (Prestbyterian),  but consistent with 1901.
