Margaret Ann Abraham

taggs51:

I don't see any reference to Co. Wicklow on the marriage record.

Marriages were normally held in the bride's parish. It appears Margaret was from the parish of Magheracross in Co. Fermanagh and that Robert Taggart was from the civil parish of Aghalurcher in Co. Fermanagh. There is a reference on the record to Ballinamallard (Bellanamallard) so possibly that is where Margaret was from. 

Co. Fermanagh Church of Ireland records are not included on the subscription site Roots Ireland.

taggs51,

The marriage record you attached shows her residence as Currin, I think - as it is hard to decipher. Currin is a townland in the Magheracross civil parish in Co. Fermanagh. While Margaret had emigrated to Canada by 1901, the 1901 Irish census records for Currin show two Abraham families living in # 16 and 17. William Thomas is the head in # 16 and John Robert in # 17...he has a daughter named Margaret Anne. The names of these men's children are very similar to the names of Margaret Anne's children. There is a Jane Abraham, age 75, living with John Robert who I thought was perhaps their mother, but it shows she was unmarried, so maybe a spinster aunt. To conclude, perhaps William and John are Margaret's brothers.

Regards,

Thank you all for your responses.

Carolyn - thank you for correcting my mistake with her residence - Currin makes more sense and I will follow up in the 1901 Census.  I interpreted the place as Carnew and then looked it up to see it in Wicklow.
