Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the parents of Ellen Leonard born in Carlow Ireland.
Ellen was born between 1821 to 1829, she married in Manchester in 1860 (no previous marriage stated spinster on this) fathers name on this cert John Leonard a farmer. I know it is a long short but I keep coming up against brick walls, the Irish data base is confusing at least.
here is hoping

Just for ref- is this her marriage:

name(s) Ellen Leonard
Marriage year 1860
Marriage date 03 Sep 1860
Marriage place Cathedral,Manchester,Lancashire,England
Spouse Richard Buxton
Place Manchester

or this one?
Marriages Dec 1860 (>99%)
Butler Francis Manchester 8d 696
Doyle Joseph Manchester 8d 696
Leonard Ellen Manchester 8d 696
Silk Julia Manchester 8d 696

Who were the witnesses on the marriage certificate?

Not the first one Gritty

Not seeing where the 1821- 1829 birth is from- she seems consistent 1829/ 1830 on the census

She was definitely born (or at least baptised) in Co. Carlow in 1829.

Thank you all for the info, sorry for the late reply (time difference)

Gritty,
The names that I can read on the marriage cert are, the mark of Bridget McCann and John Religan is what I can make out was at St Chads Chapel Manchester.

Hi, Broomstick -

Re the baptism - as I said, you'll have to subscribe to the website to see the details.
What I've posted is all that can be seen online without a subscription. I don't have a subscription at present.
Maybe some other helper does, and might look it up for you.

Of course I can't guarantee that that's your Ellen - but name, place and year match what you've said.

For Co Carlow C of I parish rego's, try the free site:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/

Unfortunately, Ellen doesn't show up on that site.

There are, however, various church records for other Leonards in Carlow - probably relatives.
