Thank You Potty.

Really don't know what to make of the info. I can understand Patrick and Mary maybe marrying 1875 if either or both were married before but it looks like that wasn't the case given the in-laws who are listed..

Not sure where Julie has got Mary's father as John if she doesn't have the marriage cert but I wonder if this is Mary in 1851 (the ages of John & William tie up with the censuses)

1851

[Mary Tuomy]
Age:13
Estimated birth year:abt 1838
Relation:Daughter
Father's name:John Jwornos - b Ireland
Mother's name:Margaret Jwornos - b Ireland
Gender:Female
Where born:Middlesex, England

John Jwornos 38
Margaret Jwornos 36
Mary Jwornos 13
Thomas Jwornos 10
Margaret Jwornos 7
Catherine Jwornos 5

I agree with you .. it was one I looked at.

The same family in 1861 and living at the same address (16 Well Street) as Patrick and Mary Kelly:


Name:John Tooney
[John Toomey]
Age:14
Estimated birth year:1847
Relation:Son
Father's name:John Tooway - widower
Gender:Male
Where born:Poplar
Civil Parish:Poplar

John Tooway 55
Margrett Toony 18
Catherine Tooney 16
William Tooney 12
John Tooney 14
Ann Tooney 10

Surely there must be an earlier marriage for Patrick & Mary - very unusual for that time for parents to live in the same house as an unmarried daughter and partner!

Potty It was not usual but not uncommon for Catholics in England to marry in an Anglican Church and may have depended on whether there was a RC Chapel/Church in the locality...Given that the area did have RC Churches eg SS Mary and Joseph its another puzzle to solve..

One of the witnesses to the marriage was Margaret Ryan ( I can't make out the surname for the other one - first name George).

There is a possible Toomy/Ryan marriage:

I can't find any Catholic Parish records online. I would think the children would have been baptised. Maybe, Julie, you need to contact the churches direct. Contact details:
