Hi All,
I need some help locating a civil marriage record for Daniel O'Connell and Bridget Kent. They were married in Kildimo on July 22, 1853 and I have attached the church record here. I am struggling to find more info on Daniel's parents and family and his age at the time of this marriage.
Thank you for any help!
Wendy

Registration of Catholic marriages started in 1864, so would not include a record of Bridget and Daniel. Marriages generally took place in the bride's parish so worth checking for Kent families in the parish for her family however the baptism records for the parish only go back to 1831..
A search of Kildimo baptisms between 1830 and 1850 showed just two close matches to the surname Kent, one of which is a Brigida Kennet baptised 22nd October 1833 to a David Kennet & Brigida McNamara. There were a number of [O']Connell baptisms in the parish over the same timeframe but no Daniel... possibly he was born before 1831
