I am now in receipt of the marriage certificate for Mary Breslin and Thomas Davies on 7th May 1955 St Willibrord's R C Church Manchester. Mary was age 19 Cardboard Box Maker residing 43 Buckingham Road Droylsden Manchester. Her father is shown as Daniel Breslin Farmer. Witnesses were Kathleen Breslin (possibly her sister) and J Sprangine?

Any hehp to find Mary's birth details and her mother's name would be very much appreciated.
Thanks dinkey

I think her mother was Catherine Agnes Breslin.

From looking at the familysearch indices, it looks like there  are children Ellen 1931; Thomas 1932; Peter January 1934 Glenties; Mary January 1936 Glenties; Kathleen January 1937 Glenties;  Patrick October 1934 Glenties without mother's maiden name.

12 November 1931 Daniel Breslin and Catherine Agnes Breslin, both of Doohill, Ardara. His father Peter, her father Thomas. It is on irishgenealogy.

Worth ordering the certs anyway.

If it turns out that her mother was Catherine Agnes, then this was her birth record.

It looks very promising  :)

Did Kathleen also marry in Manchester?

Thank you all who have responded this is a great help. I have no idea where any of Mary's siblings were married. Probably best to look for them in Glenties first

With you having Kathleen as a witness to Mary’s marriage, I noticed that there was also a 1955 marriage for Catherine/Kathleen Agnes Breslin.

If Kathleen married William McIntyre in 1955 here is her death

Thanks John. Yes I saw that.
I just thought that daljul knew more of the family history, perhaps.
