    Thank you! I think the prechting part is right. I think the first part may be Reihn. I just found this newspaper article in German and it's a little easier to read:

    I won't book an eye test just yet. I was too busy focusing on the address that I somehow managed to miss columns 5 and 7. I'm seeing 'widow' and 'Porter's widow'. Reading that right?

    If so, that makes no sense to me as her husband lived until 1913. Let's presume I have the "right" person and my research is correct. Would it be possible to make a mistake like this on the cert?

    No, you can just send me the url of the image. Then reply to this thread mentioning what you need help with on the image and I'll edit your post to add in the link.

    Notes on second last entry on P117 here? England, 1938 is about all I'm getting - I presume it has to be a marriage.

    https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633753#page/117/mode/1up

    There's an even darker image on the now abandoned Irish Genealogy records site

    The first word of the note is matrimonium or some such rendering of matrimony followed by some other Latin rendering of contracted so yeah, a reference to the person baptised being married in England.

    In the English civil indexes there is an entry for an Andrew C. Ralph marrying an Ellen V. Perks in Fylde, Lancashire in 1938.

    I wasn't aware the Irish Genealogy parish records had been abandoned - when did this happen?

    That wedding would be quite likely I'd expect - I'll look in to it.

    I meant abandoned in so far as the last new set of transcriptions was many years ago; with the NAI scans having been the replacement effort.


  • Registered Users Posts: 654 ✭✭✭Mick Tator


    I agree with Hermy's take on this - it is a marriage, matrimonium coniunctierunt apud Fleetwood, England (Joined in marriage near Fleetwood, England) According to a Google search 'Fleetwood is a coastal town in Lancashire, England, at the northwest corner of the Fylde, '

    It certainly would be unusual with her daughter as informant, who presumably would know.

    There is a Laurence Whelan died in the hospice (Dublin South) in 1897.
