Marriage Robert Johnston, 1866, Dublin
« on: Sunday 28 April 24 04:36 BST (UK) »
I have found a marriage of Robert Johnston to Rebecca Robinson in 1866 in the city of Dublin. But I can’t read where each person is from as the writing is so faded.
Can anyone help me with the writing? Robert was a widower in 1866 and he had a son Edward Robinson Johnston, 1874 to 1878 who married Martha Russell Wilkinson in Glasgow in 1917 before emigration to Illinois. Son Edward and Martha were on the 1930 and 1940 censuses in Illinois.

Thank you so very, very much, Neale1961 and Sinann. That writing had me stumped. I presume 4 Hamilton Row is in Dublin.
I also couldn't make out the parish of St.Mark.

Thanks KG. I read the article on Wikipedia about the village of Ballyfarnon. Very interesting article about a historical village.
I spent some time last night trying to find Robert’s first wife, but it may have been before 1845.

You are amazing, dublin1850. Thank you so much. Despite the difference in occupation for Robert’s father between marriages, I feel this is likely correct. Thinking Mary died in childbirth or as a result of. She died second quarter of 1864 and Thomas is born in June 1864.
Marriage witnesses in both cases are Robinsons.
