Anyone know that the Latin bit is? Is it a first marriage (to a Thomas Chandler) while the English part refers to a second marriage to a James Larkin?

P

She married Chandler 1911 and Larkin 1935

Hi all,

Looking for the second-last (parents' addresses) and last ("Denuntiation") columns here please.

P.

Hermy

For the parents addresses it looks like defunctus or something like that which means dead!

spurious

Yes it looks like 'Pater defunctis' or 'father dead'.

Anyone want to guess at Louis' surname?

Landross?

Can you give the url for the full page please?

Vetch

I think it's Sandross. Census might tally with this - Sandvoss on one and Sandross on the other.

His father (also Louis) says he was German on the census so I guess its Sandvoss.

Could it be Nursery man - as in person into plants as opposed to minding kids.

paumurp

Thanks - I thought maybe the first letter was too tall for an N

Definitely Nurseryman. As in gardens as mentioned by others.

Would anyone care to have a go at reading the notation in the last column on the right for a Marriage of Michael Deegan and Elizabeth Walsh on 30/07/1875. I am giving the whole certificate.
Thanks

pinkypinky

That is a challenge.

Could the first word be christening?

BowWow

Currently in the service & ..........

mickmackey1

I think the first word is Critchley, same name as Maggie Critchley the witness.

nikonuser

Apologies for the quality of the image, I downloaded it directly from the Catholic Parishes site. If “christening’ or ‘in the service of’ are correct, why would they be there as comments? J

Vetch

'Critchley is the surname of witness' and then the priest's initials.

I agree - that column is for remarks on the spouses – e.g. was either previously married, a convert, etc. In this case the priest is using it to correct his misspelling of the surname of the witness Critchley.

nikonuser

Now that it has been pointed out it makes sense.
Many thanks again, always a helping hand available. Cheers, J

Diaell

Slightly different with this one.
Its the back of a photo trying to figure out what is written on it, may help to figure out who the person is.
It may be Irish or someone has suggested French.
Any help at all would be greatly received.

Hermy

It looks like Irish script to me.

I think the 1st line in modern Irish reads Le grá agus meas mór. In English With love and appreciation

spurious

Seamus something (?)
Sagart (Priest)

Diaell

Thanks for the help.
Makes sense as the photo on the front does look like a priest.
It may have been a family friend or a distant relation.
The photos belonged to my great-great Grandmother so sadly there is no one who know who any of the photos are of.
This was one of the few photos with text on the reverse so was hoping it might reveal something about the person.

spurious

I think it's James Stanley.
There was a James Stanley in the 1901 census in Cavendish Square, Falls Ward, Belfast, listed as a 'Visitor priest'. Born Co. Louth, spoke Irish and English.

He shows up in Offaly in 1911.

**edit. The stamp on the card looks like a business based in Newbridge, Co. Kildare.

That's some detective work. You've got the wrong James Stanley but you have the right name, quick google and i think I've found it.

He was born in Blacktrench Kildare same as my great-great grand Mother. He was born around the same time as my Great Grand Father so its likely they grew up together, possible as neighbors.

Thanks for all the help, didnt think I'd ever figure that one out.
