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

JM

Initially a published tree showed that place and year. The first couple of children were born in Pennsylvania and then this record seems to support the tree information.
It would be good if FindMyPast shows more details then it might confirm it.

That's only an INDEX ... phew,  so our OP could chase up to find the actual document.

It's Marriage License Index 1885-1916 from Orphans' Court Philadelphia. Presumably Ellen (or William) was an orphan.
The Find My Past listing found by heywood, linked to Philadelphia Catholic church records may yield more, or perhaps not if it's only from a church marriage register. (My granddad married in England, his father was named in church register; his brother married in Ireland, father not named in church marriage register. Granddad's 1st wife's parents married in a County Dublin parish, mid 19thC., both parents named in church register + their residences + witnesses' residences. There was no set way.)

Are we certain that we're not looking at 2 different William Kernan & Ellen Donnelly couples? Kiernan and Donnelly are common surnames.
Lucas said in his first post that the marriage was in New Jersey. What was his source for a New Jersey marriage?

it is possible to merge all these Kernan/Kearns/Donnelly thread?  Would that make a difference to searchers, once we get concrete info to search for. 

Could the Mods do some magic please?

For example, I think the thread this post is currently part of, could be merged into the thread I am quoting it on,   :D   

All our Global Moderators are volunteers too,  so it may take a tad of patience as they have real lives, away from RChat too.   :D
