Brick wall on Kelly Mcguire marriage

[pejay]

Brick wall no 2 - I am looking for marriage info on an Owen Kelly b Ireland approx 1841 who married ann Mcguire also of Irleand. - what I know. Owen was out of the country in the army until 1872. their first child was born 1874 in Kent so I have been looking from roughly 1872, I am sure they married in this country and not abroad or Ireland. I do know the family were of the catholic faith, so would this make a difference?.As far as I am aware they did not have middle names or 'nick names' he died in 1897 and she died in 1919 in Lincoln, Lincs, he left the army in 1881. Any help/guidance would be very much appreciated. I have now been looking for about 3 yrs and so far - nothing!

Hi peejay,
I had a look round and I think you might have a bit of a chance if you write to The general register office, government offices, convent road, roscommon, republic of Ireland, they have records of marriages from 1800 to 31st December 1921. Another source is the Genealogical office, national library, Kildare street, Dublin 2. Unfortunately they don't have a public website so you would have to use snail mail I'm afraid it would narrow your search down if you had an idea of where in Ireland they were married as Kelly is a very common name here. Hope this has been a little help as I am only learning about geneaology myself. cheers sterico

Hi Sterico and thanks for your reply.I have noted the addresses, and think it may be worth a try.I think he may have come from Annagh in Co Cavan,but I know nothing at all about hiis wife Ann Mcguire -other than her name,I got that from a birth cert of one of their children.

Hi peejay,
I was over in Cavan yesterday and enquired about census's from 1861 to 1871 to see if I could shed any light on Owen And Anne, I was told that the census's for 1841 to 1871 were destroyed by government order after the statistics were drawn, this was done to ensure confidentiality. Sorry Peejay, I tried.

Hi Sterico ,many many thanks for trying, you are a star, I appreciate any help, I am really stuck on this one, Owen was one of my g.grandfathers on my mother's side, I did think about Griffiths valuation, but I couldn't find anything, it doesm't help when you don't know the parents names!
