IGI

Is it possible that she got married somewhere other than London?

Anything is possible in genealogy rootsfinder, would you know the Marriage if you found it

Linell.

Possibly....i know where her husband came from (Dripsey, County Cork, Ireland) and his father's name (Daniel).

I mean, its not like she could have disappeared off the face of the earth. This is starting to annoy me because it's the first mystery I've encountered while doing this research and I still have not found anything on her earlier life

If it's the first mystery you have encountered on your research Rootsfinder you are very fortunate

Linell.

Is there any chance this could be moved to the lookup section?

You need to post something specific in the look up section.

So is it a Parish record you want looked at ie a baptism/Christening - Burial - Marriage

or do you need to find a birth marriage or death on the index so you can send for the certif.

Or is it a census you need.

If you need one of the above go to Look up requests and add a post
and then if someone is going to the archives perhaps they can look it up for you.

Birth marriage or death certifs can't be looked up and have to be ordered from registry offices

I'd say my best bet would be for a marriage on the index so that I could send off for a certificate.

Is this the Marriage you want to find Roots?

Thomas Lyons
Ellen Burke
Marriage: < 1884> <Kincullia, Loughrea, Galway, Ireland>

I don't know how you go about finding Irish Marriages?

Someone on here may know about Irish Genealogy, I have managed to avoid it luckily

Linell.

Unfortunately thats not the marriage....I still think they may have gotten married in England somewhere becaude there is no sign of their marriage in Ireland.

There is no sign of their marriage in England that fits.

What about Scotland or Wales?

Please don't get mad but I calculated this and it would have made her birth year around 1871 instead of 1863. Terrible mistake on my part, I got swept up in my research that I misread and miscalculated the dates.

is this them
