I think it more likely he was a captain in the army - each regiment in turn did a regular stint of training at the Curragh camp in Ireland. Additionally there were army barracks around the country used by the military, in the same way that there were army personnel at Aldershot, Colchester, Maidstone etc. Also, some of the English landowners in Ireland had sons who had had a commission in the army and retained the title "captain" when no longer on active service.

then found john dunfoord married martha ? in 1811 at st marys church .liverpool john dunford born 1790single. martha born 1790. spinster.
Does the marriage entry give a marital state for John and does it actually give an exact age for bride and groom, or say “of full age”??
Of full age means both parties were at least 21, but not necessarily both of the same age. It was used to describe anyone no longer a minor – so could be anywhere between 21 and 81!

Hi Bob
I have checked on ancestry & found a John Dunford b. 1780/1790 Waterford, Ireland. Married a Martha in 1811 at St. Mary's Church, Liverpool. Burial 13 December 1837 in St. Anthony's parish (Catholic). Children as you mentioned. The parents of John are seen as James Dunford & Margaret Walsh. Could this be the John you are looking for?Hugs Chrissy x

john dunford and martha dunford
all lived at ryans place .naylor street ,st marys parish .
john dunford carter with stable at ryans place naylor street
source gores diectory 1827
then in early 1830 move to titchfield street st anthonys parish
where on the 12 august 1837 john dunford born 1778 died of fever age 59,of ryans place naylor street ,while living at titchfield street .john dunford son born 1812 paid for funeral and burial of his father,
source st anthonys burial records,
(so the search of john dunford born 1790 ireland,is the wrong dunford tree,our john dunford was born 1778,died 1837 at titchfield street ,father of john dunford born 1812,now we are burning on gas)
and now we know where they lived in st marys parish ,at ryans place,naylor street ,now is there any way to trace the whole family living in naylor street ,it might help to find more on martha dunford,
roman catholic law ,you cannot baptize your children or marry only if you live in that parish,
so with this in mind
thomas dunford before july 1837,he moved out of titchfield street st anthonys parish to bevington street st peters parish to marry sarah williams of that parish,john dunford father ( one month before he died)was at the wedding
in 1839 william dunford done the same ,he moved out of titchfield street st anthonys parish to bevington street st peters parish to marry ellen carroll,
john dunford brother was at the wedding,
thomas dunford and sarah dunford then moved back to st anthonys parish ,burlington street to be close to his family
john dunford,born saturday 11 november 1837,father thomas dunford mother sarah dunford.of burlington street st anthonys parish
but john dunford died and buried sunday 25 of august 1839,of burlington street liverpool.
next we find 1851 census
john dunford 37 broom maker
anne dunford 30
ellen dunford 5
henry dunford 2
thomas dunford 33 brother-carter
sarah dunford 30 wife
albert dunford 4 son
james dunford 6 son
1851 census,22 dutton street liverpool
william dunford 30 carter
ellen dunford 28 wife
alice dunford 5
william dunford 3
thomas dunford 7 months
elizabeth carroll 14 sister
1861 census 22 wilbraham place liverpool
william dunford 40 carter
ellen dunford 40
alesa dunford 14
william dunford 12
thomas dunford 10
margaret dunford 7
ellen dunford 5
martha dunford 3
elizabeth dunford 5 months
brick walls
now still cannot find marraige of john and martha dunford,maiden name of martha,john born 1778 but where
marraige of john dunford born 1812 to ann ?
now this brick wall we have through ancestry .com .and others
john dunford born 1812 marrying ann campbell born 1819
children
henry dunford born 1849 married ann kelly
ann dunford born 1855 married john .o.brian
john francis dunford born 1858 married mary ann mcmonagle
martha dunford born 1860 married charles corkhill,
also we have
john dunford born 1812 married ann hannah born 1819
children
henry dunford born 1849 married ann kelly
ann dunford born 1853 married john .o.brian
john francis dunford born 1858 married mary ann mcmonagle
martha dunford born 1860 married charles corkhill.
now in ancestry .com and others i have checked you have both families ,but only one is right.which one,
been in with british genealogy and they seem to think that her right nname could be ann hannah campbell,
this is how my search is going can you help please
