Are these the same man
« on: Sunday 26 November 23 00:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I have an ancestor Elizabeth Mordaunt. I know where her grave is (Monaseed), she is with her parents as Elizabeth Kinsella. Her father was Edward.  There is an Alexander Kinsella in the grave, relationship not stated. Death ages/dates confirm that this is them in 1901;

I am wondering if this is their marriage, age, location and her father's name match. Just can't read his name. Even on 1901 census where she is styled as Bessie his name is written as Alexander. I can't actually read his name on marriage registration, but it sure is not Alexander.

Thanks for any opinions

His Christian name is indexed as "Sandam".
Looks to me like the priest struggled to fill out the form - look at "labourer", and struggled with his name also. May have been a pronunciation/hearing issue?
But I would say it is certainly him.

Thanks for your input. I don't see labourer anywhere - all farmers! Yes I saw it was indexed as 'Sandam'. I tried to see Sandy of Sander or something that could be a form of Alexander but just can't. I do think chances are that its them. As I said her father, place and ages all correct.

Sorry - I misread about labourer.
