On 31st March 1850 James Meara was married to Mary Brennan at St Peter's Church Athlone. I think James Meara is an ancestor of my wife, her maiden name is O'Mara. James Meara's address at the time was 4 Dragon Athlone (this seems a strange, unusual address). Mary Brennan's address was 35 Chapel Lane Athlone. There is no record of James Meara's father and Mary Brennan's father was Matthew Brennan. I would like any information on both James and Mary and their families. They had a daughter, Mary Ann, christened in Athlone in 1851.
At the time of the 1861 England census the family was in England

David:
You may want to contact the church to see if they have any records which would help your research.

Thank you, Roger. That's what I intend to do if there is no response to this message.

David,
4 Dragon should read 4th Dragoons, Jame`s regiment. The 4th Light Dragoons were stationed at Athlone Barracks in 1850. Jame`s address would have been Victoria Barracks, Athlone. I attach a copy of the marriage entry from St. Peters.
