Name/Place?
« on: Monday 14 August 23 03:39 BST (UK) »
Hello Everyone.  I have John Laurison (many different spellings for surname).  I have information on him with his marriage to Sarah Jane Gibson and their family and I know that he was discharged from the military the day before he married Sarah in 1875.   It says that he was a widower on his marriage to Sarah, so I am now trying to find his first marriage.  I think he was in the military for 21 years before marrying Sarah.     I found a pension date on Ancestry for him..........John Laurisson, pension date 15th july 1875, 62nd foot, regiment number 720. Birthplace given as Muharika, Tandragee, Armagh.     Does anyone know where Muharika is?  Also where might i find his military records?  John was born abt 1836.
Any help, as awlways is greatly appreciated, thank you from Heather.

The 1875 marriage took place in Mullavilly (Church of Ireland) Parish Church:

Consider the following marriage of John 'Larrison' to Mary Webster in November 1863, it took place in St. Anne's Church of Ireland, Belfast, the groom's father's name was William, but the most interesting detail is that John's profession was given as 'soldier 62nd':

One of the witnesses was a Larrison as well.
