Hi Mike,

I have actually contacted St Nicholas church as I knew that Michael and Mary were definately married there and they kindly checked for me and told me that they were married on 21st Sept 1879 and his address was 144, Francis St and hers was 8, Binns Court. Thats how I found out their parents names.

A cousin told me that they thought Marys father had a bellows business, but I dismissed it as I was never told anything about it and as I know that she signed her name on my Granny's birth certificate with a cross I thought that meant that she must have been poor. However it is very interesring what you say about Carmens Hall.

I didn't want to bother Fr Paul again by asking about John and Mary Coghlan and Thomas and Mary Grace but how do I join the Irish family history foundation?

Thanks for your help.

Pat
