St. George's RC / cathedral marriage look up request

[heywood]

whilst the marriage, if it is the right one, shows Hennessy.

That was Bridget Hennessy to Thomas Fitzgibbons, also at St George RC, Southwark.

Ah, thank you, Jen

.... I wonder if a bit of Victorian wife-swapping is going on

Hi All

Thank you so much for the info. Lots of great leads there for me to work with. It's going to be a huge jigsaw puzzle and take time to sort out as there are other FitzGibbons' in this area of London whom I believe are all related somehow. Fascinating!

Cheers
Graham.

Is that the Edmund Gibbons/Fitzgibbons you are researching?
There are several as you say.
They are Gibbons in 1871 735 /137/35

1881 692 /101/53
Edward Gibbon is a widower

The two youngest children, Edmund and Patrick are registered as Fitzgibbon with mother Reidy in 1866 and 1868.

.. Ah! Thanks for that Heywood. Yes I'm researching my 'Gibbons' line which has led me to the FitzGibbons'. There are many crossover instances I have found from FitzGibbons to Gibbons....and indeed Edmund/Edward. What's doubly difficult is that some baptisms were Church of England, yet others RC. And there are 2 Edmunds/Edmond Fitzgibbons born/bapt. around the same time, c1820, one in Ireland and one in London. Hopefully the marriage cert. I originally requested  should help. I've sent email to archives at St Georges, hoping for a reply.
I need to obtain and actually see all the sources available in order to verify and piece together. Should keep me busy over the winter months ahead 😁. A lot to look at and work on.

Thanks again.

Good luck with the marriage enquiry.
