Help - Marriage Record Search

kanadams123

Hi guys. Who is in the mood for a little search of a record that has stayed hidden from me for a while.
I'm looking for help in finding a marriage record taking place about 1900 I have searched Irishgeneology but nothing showed up for me! Hopefully a fresh pair of eyes will help!

It's for a Daniel (O)Sullivan and Margaret (O)Sullivan about 1900. (Margaret's maiden name was also (O)Sullivan...she was from the townland of Lacktify, Clondrohid).
The marriage would have most likely taken place in Macroom RD but Cork RD is also a possibility.

Here they are in the 1901 and 1911 Census.

1901

1911

It states in 1911 that they were married 10 years. They were married and living with Daniels parents in the 1901 census. Their first child, Lena was born in 1902.

Daniel was also known as Dan "Domhnall Og" if that helps.

Could it be this?

Unfortunately not Pinky. Daniel's father is Daniel Sullivan and Margaret's father was Timothy. And this does not match with this record.

It's not there under the usual name variations anyway.

Thanks for giving it ago. I've tried a few irish variations of O'Sullivan aswell as the area was very Irish and there are O'Sullivan families in the same townland on the census that have spelled there names in Irish.

So far nothing.

Are you 100% sure she was Sullivan by birth as well?

Seems like it is. Here's the birth record of Cornelius for example -

I wonder could she have been a widow?
Have you been able to access any baptismal records?

Yes I'm pretty sure. I have the births for all her children which have maiden name Sullivan.

Also, I have her parents Timothy and Joan Sullivan. It's through Joan that I am connected.

I have a handwritten note that was written by a first cousin of Margaret many many years ago that was shared with me. It states Margaret/Maggie married Dan Sullivan Tirnaspideoigy..and the note also listed some of their children, which match those mentioned on the census records above.

I haven't tried the baptismal records, no. I'll contact the parish involved and see if they can help re church records.

It is possible she could have been previously married.
I found out my great-grand father was married once previously. his 1st wife died after 3 months of marriage. He remarried to my great-grandmother afterwards. No one in the family had any idea of this first marriage, not even my grandfather.

So I won't rule it out until I see a record stating her "spinster"or "widow".
