Can You Find The Parents of Ellen Kernan (Maiden Name: Donnelly)?

[Maiden Stone]

The counties are Antrim, Armagh, Derry/Londonderry, Fermanagh, Tyrone.

Maiden Stone, you've forgotten Co Down! 

   :-[I'll personally apologise to every inhabitant of Co. Down. I'll blame "Derry/Londonderry which made the list seem as if it had 6 names. Or I'll make the excuse that I was looking into the future when rise in sea levels caused by global warming has eroded coastal counties. My home will be underwater too.    I'll go down to the shore later with my binoculars to check if County Down is still there.

There is no background on Ellen Donnelly (Who Married William Kernan). It only Has there names listed and location of Marriage.

Sorry, but that does not make sense to me.  If that is all the info on the actual document,  then it does not  actually indicate that couple are your ancestors.   Are you looking at an actual record, or just at an index of a record....

Who were the witnesses,   any clergy/denomination named,  what status .... bachelor/spinster, divorcee, widow etc,   when and where,  occupations, ages,  etc

It is in World records, Find my Past. I can’t access but there is a record William Kernan 1895 with spouse Donnelly.
The record I see just has dashes for parents and even spouse name. Ellen’s record doesn’t show spouse but the film number matches.

Here is the index on family search

That's annoying.

The index is from the Orphans' Court of Philadelphia.

Do you think that this https://chrc-phila.org/ indicates that the Find my Past record I quoted above might be a marriage record rather than index?
Or is that what you already have?

Scroll down the page
“CHRC joined with FindMyPast to make historical parish baptismal and marriage records available to the public. Pre-1919 records are on-line and can be searched and downloaded”

Yes, agree, 1890s  48 states, each had its own way of recording marriages.   I am not in Europe.  I am in Australia, we have 8 jurisdictions, each with their own way to record marriages.  BUT .... I do have relatives in California,  and they have exchanged images of the registration of their ancestors and there is a tad more info available,  including denomination, age, status, occupation, native place.

Why consider a marriage in Pennsylvannia ... why not look for one in New Jersey....
