Find Ancestors

Hello, On behalf of a friend I am trying to find the marriage of Patrick Quinn to an Ellen (possibly Hay). Their first child was Margaret born in Manchester in 1858. Patrick was born in 1829 and Ellen 1834. Patrick was in the 44th Foot Regiment. The marriage may have been in Ireland. Thanks.

Try the IGI


Where were these people born?

If the child's birth was registered, her mother's maiden name will be on the cert

Thanks, I'll try IGI,

A couple of possibilities:

Marriages Mar 1850 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mulloy Ellen Manchester 20 632
Quinn Patrick Manchester 20 632

Marriages Dec 1853 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lancaster Ellen Manchester 8d 749
QUINN Patrick Manchester 8d 749

Thanks Margee

In the 1850 marriage Margee posted, Ellen seems to have been a widow, or at least, she had two surnames recorded.

Re the 1853 marriage Margee posted, that Patrick married the other bride, Mary Carrigan.

Your friend might need to buy the birth cert of one of Ellen and Patrick's children to find out her maiden name.

Thank you Kucinta, I will pass details on.
