Wedding from County Donegal in 1863

Posted on September 30, 2014March 13, 2019 by Sharon Slater

The following list contains marriages from 1863 that mention places in county Donegal, the year before the full civil marriage registrar comes into Ireland. Whether it was the marriage location, the ancestral home of the bride or the home of the groom.

1863 was a year before the full civil marriage registrar became a legal requirement in Ireland, before this the marriages of Roman Catholics were not officially registered. This list could help locate individuals who were married outside of their home parish. The reports often give other details such as occupation of the groom or bride’s father and the name of the person who performed the marriage ceremony.

These records were extracted from news reports of Irish Marriages published in the Limerick Chronicle, during 1863:

 

14 February: William Green & Susan Elizabeth Monds

In St. Mary’s Church Dublin, William Green Esq., Rock, Ballyshannon to Susan Elizabeth, daughter of Moses Monds Esq., J.P. Sligo
