Doreen...
Am puzzled as to why you have ruled out the marriage of Catherine to John as Listed by safc. where did you find that particular couple living on 1871 Census..??

To pair off most couples in Co Durham, use:

Surname Forename(s) Year District
McCULLAGH Catherine 1864 Durham Western
McMAHON John 1864 Durham Western
Register No. - Entry No. - District
R16/AUCK - 14 - Durham Western (1864)
[This looks like the Auckland registrar's own register, so either a rego office marr or a non-conformist marr the registrar had to attend]

in relation to bridget mcmahon, i believe ( no i hope as ive ordered her marriage certificate!) that the name manning instead of mcmahon has been a mistake, just like the numerous spellings i have found for mcmahon.

STUART yes i found that marriage previously, i decided and have ordered the marriage certificate for patrick gallagher and bridget manning.

Thank you safc. i had ruled out the people on this record. i found them in the 1871 census, and so not the people i am looking for.

In reply to STUART. sorry i keep getting the names gillespie and gallagher mixed up , god knows why. the correct name in this instance is GALLAGHER.! sorry. having a senior moment. :-)

Trying to help or have I got this completely wrong?????? Am I looking at the wrong census????

Bridget would appear to be GALLAGHER (not Gillespie) in the 1901 - see marriage posted above
(I have found Alice and Nicholas Tomaney)

The 1901 marriage is GALLAGHER/LINSKEY (not Livesky)

The 1892 marriage is a Bridget MANNING (not McMahon)/Patrick GALLAGHER

On FMP she is transcribed as Lunskey b 1878

i know all the liverpool records are on ancestry, really helpful if your family is from there. i just thought maybe somewhere the durham ones are available. No i am going to order the marriage certificate.

You will need to purchase the cert to find those details in most cases

i want to know if anyone can find details attatched to the marriages such as fathers names and occupations witnesses etc. yes bridget is gillespie in 1901 census, but livesky in 1911 census as she remarried in 1902.

The Durham 1892 Mar Qtr 10a 455 shows this -
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

Marriages Mar 1892 (>99%)
BURNS Alice Durham 10a 455
Gallagher Patrick Durham 10a 455
Manning Bridget Durham 10a 455
Tomaney Nicholas Durham 10a 455

The child Gallagher b 1893 on the 1901 census with Catherine and Bridget is Patrick, so named after his father

This Livesky and Gillespie?? The 1901 census has her as Gallagher living with her mother

GALLAGHER, Bridget <<<<<<<<<<<<<
MARTIN, Ethel May
ARNETT, William Oliver

You might have found her, but I hadn't and was pointing out a 10 year age difference between the two census, which may or may not have helped me or others trying to help you.

ive ruled out catherine and john found in the 1871 census, 20 years too old. can anyone find details of bridget mcmahons marriage to patrick gillespie in durham march q 1892 vol 10 pge 455. bridget is catherines daughter. bridget , now gillespie also married james livesky in stockton in sept q 1901. vol 10a pge 156. any details added to either marriage may help.

Doreen, I'm now trying to hide my shame of my dubious ancestry :-D So could you podt up the census records you've already found to save duplication of research please?

i have found catherine in every census except 41. 51 & 61

In 1871 she is in Darlington, no occupation, but daughter MAry Ann aged 6 shown as born Witton Park, so pretty sure same person. However her age here is 40 (same as the 1881!!)
