Dear All, My Great Grandparents were married in you parish and I was wondering if anyone knows of any large house they may have worked at?

wel are u gonna give a little more information than that?

Hi Johnboy, Thanks for asking. Patrick Stephens (born 27th May 1879 - Baptism registered Church of the Assumption, Carlow) married Catherine "Kate" Cummins (Born 13th October 1879, Marley - registered in Termonfeckin) on 4th Sept 1907, Tinryland. Witnessed by James Stephens & Mary Doyle, celebrant was James Dunn. That is everything I know. Best wishes.

sure its not fr.dunny?

Hi Clubman, The list of past Parish Priests on this site has a James Dunne as a Curate at the right time... Catherine was born in Marley, which from what I can work out is about 40 mins from Tinryland, so I am presuming that yours is the nearest Catholic Church...? Best wishes

Catleah17,Marley is about 40 minutes away yes.It is a place called St.Mullins.It is by no means the nearest catholic church around.Maybe back then but i doubt it.Carlow town is only 5 minutes from tinryland ,there would have been catholic churches in there.

Hi Seany, Thanks for this. Marley is St Mullins?? Can you explain how that is? I'll presume neither name means anything to you...? It's a long shot but always worth taking especially when I can't get to Ireland anytime soon;. Best wishes

sorry,marley is not called st.mullins.imeant to say it is in a place called st.mullins.down the south of the county.dont know anymore,your best bet is just to try look p old records somewhere.duno how you go about that but dont know anymore,sorry.

Thanks Seany. I appreciate any help or information people can give me. I had presumed that Tinryland was the nearest town but if Marley is part of St Mullins... Hmmm opens up more questions. Thank you and best wishes
