  • marriage in Ireland

    George King was in the army in Ireland from 1844 to mid 1850's when his regiment went of to the Crimea .He and his wife Sarah Jane had a daughter Elizabeth Sarah Jane King; in all the censuses from 1871 she give a birth date of 1854 and a birth Country of Ireland and a place of Cork in two of them.

    In beta.family search I have come up with a marriage for George King in the Irish Civil Registration Indexes Cork 1853 Vol 4 Page 491

    Searching for Sarah Jane I come up with Sarah Jane Meyers Cork 1853 Vol 4 Page 564

    Where do I go from here?

    As the entries don't match I would suggest you need to start again!
    What about getting a copy of one of the children's birth certificates to determine the mother's maiden name?

      Now they don't actually give a reference so do the entries not related to the volume they are in and the number of page they are on in the index ,King entries on page 491 and therefore the Meyer entries would be later in the volume on page 564. As I can't see images of the pages I don't know if my assumption is correct ?

        I was presuming, maybe wrongly, that it would be the same as the England/Wales BMD index where volume and page number would cross match.

            Neither can I!

            I have done a check of the volume/page numbers on the Irish Civil Registration lists, by find another marriage between a completely different couple, and then finding them on the Civil Registration list. Both the volumes and page numbers cross match on each entry - so I think you can discard the George King/Sarah Jame Myers theory.

              I have ordered loads of Irish marriage certificates and the Volume and Page numbers must match.

              Also you will find that second names are not always recorded on birth, marriage or death registrations in Ireland either.....as I have found....which makes researching much harder!
