What is the Name of Father on Marriage Certificate
« on: Thursday 22 June 23 22:32 BST (UK) »
Hello On the marriage certificate in Irish Genealogy of Hugh Reilly and Martha Eakin the name of Hugh's father looks to me as it is recorded as Hugh Reilly. 
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1855/09497/5442090.pdf
On the rootsireland i.e the name is recorded as Henry. 
Please could someone tell me which one it is.

The civil version of the record looks to me like 'Hugh'... but also note the following contemporary marriages in the same church for Reilys of Tirglassan:

- November 1854, John Eakin (maybe a brother of Martha?) to Eliza Jane Reily, father Henry:

- November 1856, John Reed to Lavinia Reily, father Henry:

Have you confirmed that Lavinia Reily and Eliza Jane Reily were (your) Hugh Reily's sisters?

Yes I already confirmed Eliza Jane was a sister but not Lavinia so that was helpful.  Thankyou

The RootsIreland record is from the parish register, not the same record as the civil registration, even though they are for the same event.

Thank you for that.  I have been researching Reilly's from the townlands of Cumber and Banagher in the Co Londonderry.  I've looked through nearly all of the BMD certificates and records for the area on Reilly's plus variations of the name.   I've contacted the varies bodies as I have found a few errors with the certificates and had them amended.  And there are also certificates as you say that have different information on them, depends who in the family, neighbour or friend registered the information.  On my grandmother's birth cert most things were registered incorrect on the record.

I found that Eliza Jane Reily and Lavinia Reily were sisters.  Their father was Henry Reily of Tirglassan and John Eakin was Martha's brother. 

- November 1854, John Eakin (maybe a brother of Martha?) to Eliza Jane Reily, father Henry:
