1889 marriage in Tarmonbarry

Mary:

Generally, mother's names were not shown on marriage records listed on RC parish registers.

Termonbarry/Tarmonbarry RC records start in 1865 and the NLI site only has records from January 1865 until June 1881.

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find any Winifred McDonagh baptismal records with father Martin in Co. Roscommon. A search for a John Reilly record with father Bernard did not yield a good lead.

I did not find a John Reilly family in the 1901 census for Termonbarry civil parish and also did not see a Martin McDonagh family in that parish.

I note that John Reilly was a tinker so likely he moved around before and after the marriage.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, they were travellers so I wouldn't expect to find them in Termonbarry very often. I've found children baptised in various places in Roscommon, Sligo and Mayo.

I looked at the most recent marriage entries on the NLI site, most entries on the last two pages do show the mothers' names.
