James Larkin - St Mary’s Catholic Chapel, Derby
« on: Tuesday 16 April 24 11:16 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I have received a marriage certificate for my GG Grandfathers brother, James LARKIN.
He married Mary SCOTT on 31 January 1855 in St Mary’s Catholic Chapel, Derby.

Does anybody know where the original Catholic marriage registers would be kept please?
I’m really hoping there is more information in the original documents as this Larkin family is my brick wall.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

You could try the diocesan archivist
https://www.dioceseofnottingham.uk/archives

I think that sometimes churches retain parish records, so again you might try there.

Or maybe Derbyshire record office may be able to help.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will have a look at the websites you’ve kindly written and see if I can find anything.

I think you will have to contact them rather than find anything online.

Do you have a father’s name from the marriage?

Yes I do, his father’s name was John Larkin.
My GG Grandfather Thomas, was born in Galway Ireland and his brother James, was born in Roscommon. They came over to England during the famine in the late 1840’s and settled in Ashbourne.

In 1851 the family were living on Mutton Lane, Ashbourne. Thomas Larkin was the head of the household, a labourer aged 27 born in Bally?moe?, Galway, Ireland. His wife was Catherine aged 30 born in Roscommon County. Their son Patrick was 8, an errand boy from County Galway and his brother Thomas was 5, born in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. There were 4 other people living with them. James Larkin, the brother of Thomas snr, a farm servant aged 18 born in County Roscommon, Anne Dwyer, a 37-year-old lodger, also born in Roscommon and Anne's two daughters Mary, age 10 and Bridget, age 4.

Patrick is my G Grandfather who married Sarah Oakden.
Thomas’s brother James is my only hope I think. I wondered if the Catholic registers would have more information.
