You may be stuck then if the father had a commonplace name and commonplace occupation. Do you know if the dad came over to this country with his son or not? What date was the marriage? Merry |

So it's likely that the groom didn't arrive until he was an adult (perhaps) which may mean his parents didn't come over (bad news for you). Without a massive stroke of luck you are not going to know where in Ireland they came from. Are you aware of any other family members? Witnesses on the marriage cert etc? Merry |
