• Hi Graham

  Here is the marriage of John & Eliza from www.rootsireland.ie/ (subscription site) but it doesn't have the parents' names which of course are essential for going further back:

  http://Date of Marriage: 18-Apr-1813 Parish / District: ST.PAUL'S ARRAN QUAY County: Co. Dublin Husband Wife Name: John Ledwich Eliza Barker Address: Denomination: Roman Catholic Roman Catholic

  There are quite a few early (1700's & 1800) Ledwidge records on www.irishgenealogy.ie/ (free site)

  Here are 2 from the Tithe Applotments (free) in Dublin 1826-33:

  Ledwidge Patrick Circular Road St Peter's Dublin 1833

  Ledwidge William Tallaght Tallaght Dublin 1826

  There are none in Dublin in the early Irish Censuses (free)

  I thought this might be close for John given the parish is the same:

  http://Name: John Ledwige Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 03-Jan-1796 Address: Parish/District: ST.PAUL'S ARRAN QUAY Gender: Male County Co. Dublin Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: William Ledwige Mother: Alice Not Recorded Occupation: Sponsor 1 / Informant 1: James Cody Sponsor 2 / Informant 2: Mary Maher

  I couldn't find the parents' marriage on either site.

  No luck with Eliza / beth

  Nothing on ancestry or family search

• Hi Col, Just got back to this site and saw your reply, Thanks  for your research. I will look at the roots.site.   Were  there any witness names?  The Baptism date for John would make him 17 at marriage date. would that be a normal age to expect a marriage or a bit young? 

   

  Once again Thanks. Graham, from Oz

• Welcome back Graham!

  Witnesses to marriage were William Mulherrin & Ann Carroll.

  I agree 17 might be a bit young; have a look on irishgenealogy.ie/ Church Records as there are a few that are more likely
