Ladys Island

Ann:

I located this civil marriage index record from 1913 in the Wexford registration district.You can get a copy of this record from the General Register Office for around 4 euros. The record will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom were living when married.  https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

Do you have the maiden name for Anastasia Somers?

Roger mcDonnell

Heavens, you were so fast, thank you.  I think Anastasia might have been a Doyle. But it's a mighty big might.  My Uncle (Aiden Somers) still lives in the Island but we've pretty much lost touch, he might know. When I'm over next year I'll look hime up and see what information I can prise out of him. Regards and thank you again

Ann:

Is this the correct record?

Roger

Hi Roger.  Could very well be.  My paternal grandmother was named Anastasia and I believe she was a Doyle.  Odd though, my maternal great grandmother was a Margaret Walsh married to William and lived in Kesha (Kisha). I also have a 1st cousin called Mary Cousins - sister of John and Jimmy (dec'd) daughter of Eileen and Jimmy (Snr)

Question Does Registration year/Registration quarter mean the marriage took place between those dates - eg Maried between April and June1910?

Ann

Ann:

Generally, the event took place in the quarter of registration. However, there were situations where an event occurred in the last month of a quarter but the family did not register until the first month of the next quarter. For example, child born March 20th but the family did not register until sometime in April. The record would show up in the second quarter.
