    Hi Folks,

    Hoping someone can decipher the the note written on the edge of a marriage entry. The couple are Edward Hynes, son of John Hynes and Margaret of 104 Thomas Street and Bridget Rodgers, daughter of John Rodgers & Rose of 1 Dawson Street.

    They're the 6th couple down on the page.

    The link to the church register:
    http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/st_andrews_mf_1838-1880_ma_0319.pdf

    I've also attached a picture of the writing I can't make out.

    Any & all help appreciated.

    I started well (I think):
    "Edward Hynes is a soldier at present stationed in Galway..."

    Then the wheels came off!
    ".... of that place ... written to ... now(?) living ... "

    "Edward Hynes is a soldier at present stationed in Galway..."
    the parish priest
    ".... of that place ... written to ..."
    not reply
    "... now(?) living ... "

    edit : my guess the priest at St. Andrew's wrote to the parish where the groom was living, or where he said he was baptized looking for a letter of freedom, and there had been no reply by the time of the marriage...

    "Edward Hynes is a soldier at present stationed in Galway..."
    the parish priest
    ".... of that place ... written to ..." but did
    not reply by
    "... now(?) living ... "

    I agree with Shane about the interpretation.

    "now living with his/her brother in...114 Thomas St" Possible?

    Edit: I've re-checked the page on the left and it looks more like 104 Thomas St and not 114.

    Edward Hynes is a soldier at present stationed in ? the parish priest of that place has(?) been written to but did not reply he is now living with his mother(?) in 104 Thomas St.

    Have you got a service record for him OP? I would put a question mark on Galway. I don't see a descender for the letter y. The other capital Gs on that page descend below the line.
