McCarthy and Jaques marriage date?
« on: Tuesday 11 October 22 11:22 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the above marriage please, but i cant seem to find anything.
According to the 1881 UK census John Mccarthy was born about 1849 in Ireland, he was living in Sheffield aged 28 with his 'wife' Sarah J Mccarthy born in Grantham Lincolnshire, aged 26 and their 2 children, John T Mccarthy aged 3 and Walter Mccarthy aged 1, also in the house is a border called Henry Parkin aged 26 and Sarahs mother, Rebecca Jaques , widow aged 64.
Im guessing from the oldest childs birth that John and Sarah would have been married around 1878 but i cant find anything. On the 1891 UK census, Sarah has changed her first name to Mary J Mccarthy aged 36. Sarah Mccarthy died in 1895 aged 41 in Sheffield, John died in 1908 Sheffield. Could you nice people see if you can find a marriage for me please, as im going around in circles and getting nowhere.
Thankyou in advance.

Apologies but I think you have misread the 1881 census entry for the household. 

Rebecca Jacques is aged 64, a widow and Boarder.

There is no indication that she is Sarah's mother. 

ADDED:

Just checked GRO for the two children - Walter shown as McCarty, John Thomas as Macarty with mmn = Jaques in both cases.
