Hello rose,
Yes I have this marriage certificate. In fact they got married twice - once in a Catholic Church and again in a Church of England ceremony.
The maddens we're Catholics.
On one certificate James's father is john Patrick - but on the other it is Patrick!! Most confusing.
On George Patrick's marriage certificate of 1867 one of the witnesses is James john madden so I presumed this to be a brother.

Debra you've mentioned a James John Madden there,

this one has a John Patrick as father...might help to eliminate if nothing else.

Wow thanks everyone x
I have also since looked at the image and agree it is Patrick Madden and Bridget Curlin.
I think they had 3 children: James John Madden born around 1834-38, Thomas born around 1840 and Patrick George Madden born around 1848 all in London.

Can anyone help me find the births of James and Thomas perhaps so that I can order the certificates and check the parent names tie in?

In accordance with the census entries Bridget was from Cork in Ireland. Does anyone know how I can go about researching her birth ?
I know Patrick is also from Ireland but believe he is from Limerick, but again have no experience in Irish research.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

A million thanks once again everyone.

I think this is what you found. From ancestry.


Pallot's Marriage Index for England: 1780 - 1837 about Bridget Curlin
Name: Bridget Curlin
Spouse: Pat Madder
Marriage Date: 1833
Parish: St Anne

I have looked at the image and I would say the spouse's names is Pat Madden.


As Patchem said previously, accents play a major part in the mistranscription of names. If they are also illiterate, they cannot tell if their names have been written down incorrectly.

Came across this earlier but didn't post as it seemed unlikely

But it is Curlin or poss Carlin on image,

Message from Debra,


i went to FIND MY PAST to locate the marriage info you kindly sent me on my thread.
i however noticed 2 very similar entries there for the marriage of PATRICK MADDEN to BRIDGET CARLLIN and.... BRIDGET CURLIN.
Both were for 22nd sept 1833 in st Anne, soho. westminster.
in your opinion would you say this is an error?
i treid to view the original document for 10 credits but there was only one available for the marriage to BRIDGET CURLIN.
however on downloading the image, it was for a GEORGE BARRETT!!!

I was hoping to check the correct spelling for bridgets surname, on the original document but am now unsure of how to do this.
i have done a searcg on genes reunited for a bridget curlin born c1816 give or take 10 years and it gave me nothing.
please can i ask your advice on how i might now procede?

Wow ok had thought of that xxx

Perhaps she was Bridget Catherine? I really don't know for sure but my gggrandmother was Patience in every census but one, then she was Sarah!! No idea why, but it was definitely her.

Alveigal yes both addresses were BARRETTS COURT - however I wonder why there is a CATHERINE - widow listed as head of family in 1851 yet in 1861 it reverts back to Bridget..... Any thoughts?

On James birth certificate it says father is GEORGE PATRICK MADDEN, but on his marriage certificate to fanny is says PATRICK GEORGE !
I'm guessing as his father was also a Patrick he may have used his middle name of George..?

Here is that 1851. Look at the address.

How do you know that this is not his birth?
Births Dec 1848
Madden Patrick Marylebone 1 230

Where does the George come from if not on the birth certificate?

CHOCCY YOU ARE A GENIUS!
I am sure this is them xxx

Also in the 1851 census I did find an entry - there is a widowed Catherine Madden 37 (1814) b Cork, Ireland, a charwoman. She is living with children James (13/1838), Thomas (11/1840), "Park" on the transcription but the image shows the abbreviation for Patirck (3/1848) all born London.
This ties in with the posting above by Alveigal possibly as the ages of Thomas and James would tie in but Catherine might be a 2nd wife as there is a considerable gap between James and Patrick?

In 1871 census Patrick junior is listed as George Maddon. George was his middle name I believe as he changes from George to Patrick throughout the census.
He is married to Fanny and they have a son, my GGG grandfather James Maddon.

However it is supposed to be spelt as Madden according to the certificates I have for James's birth and for the marriage certificate of fanny and George (AKA Patrick)

Can you post the 1871 census, or give us information about it?
It is not necessarily Patrick's death, and if it is, then Bridget could have remarried.
Did Patrick junior stay in the area?

Ok I have looked for the death certificate of Bridget with every spelling I can think of for Madden / maddin / maddon / maddan but to no avail.
Can anyone else find it perhaps?

Yes good point, thank you so much for your kind help xxx

Spelling can be very inaccurate.
If they are illiterate and speak with an Irish accent then anything is possible.

Who and where have you found them in 1871?
Thanks
