HI List I'm new to this particular List and have searched the Archives for any help with this problem. No luck, so am asking if there is anyone with any suggestions. I am helping a friend research her husband's ancestor who emigrated from Ireland to Liverpool sometime before 1878. His name was John BURILIN and this is the name the family has used ever since, but it seems to have been a new version of another name. (Burlin? Burland? Barlan? Bryland? Etc etc) 23 year old John Berilin married Mary Ann DWYER at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy (marriage cert), in 1878. His father is John Berilin too. 'Our' John became Burilin in the 1881 Census and he gave his place of birth as Ireland. My problems: . I cannot find anything about this Church. I did find a mid-1850s picture of a convent of Our Lady of Mercy and wondered if it was likely that they were married in the Chapel of the convent? . Where could I find the records of such a marriage? I have looked in the Liverpool Record Office index and there's nothing there. Would it be appropriate to write to the diocese office ? (if there is such a thing - I have not done any Catholic (or Irish) research so am not sure of the procedure.) . The Marriage Certificate says 'Married by Certificate" I'm used to English and Scottish certs which say "By licence' or 'After banns' so I don't know what significance this has. . John is not on the 1871 Census and nor are there any others with the name, which suggests he went to Liverpool on his own. But how on earth do I find whereabouts in Ireland? . Mary Ann Dwyer's father came from Co Kilkenny. Did Irish people stick together with others from their home area? So many questions, but if someone could help with even one I'd be grateful! I just don't know where to go from here. Many thanks Dorothy New Zealand

Hi I'm not sure what information would be held by the church as according to LancashireBMD the marriage between Bridget M MANLEY and John J CREEGAN (sic) was a Register Office or Registrar Attended marriage. The reasom for this is as follows. Until 1898 only Church of England, Jewish and Quaker places of worship were entitled to maintain their own marriage registers. All other non-conformist and Roman Catholic marriages had to be conducted in the presence of a registrar, and are therefore listed as 'Civil Marriages', together with all those conducted at the local register office. After 1898 non-conformist and Roman Catholic churches were allowed to keep their own registers and celebrate their own marriages, Andy Hello all, I am new to posting on this list. I just received my first GRO certificate yesterday for the marriage of my ggrandfather/mother which showed the marriage took place at Holy Cross Church on July 20?, 1881. Does this church still exist? Where might I obtain the marriage record from this church. I would like to see if the church record listed more info than the GRO certificate. Their names were James Cregan and Bridget Mary Manley and they originally came from Ireland and lived in Liverpool until 1890 before coming to USA. Thank you. Kay

G'day Ron, The Maritime History Archive, at Memorial University, St John's, Newfoundland (not to be confused with St John, New Brunswick) has one of the largest collections of maritime records, particularly for the Atlantic, so they would be an obvious place to make enquiries. http://www.mun.ca/mha/ (By the way, if you get the chance go to Newfoundland!

G'day Dorothy, All Marriages after the 1st July 1837 are supposed to be registered with the Civil Authorities, hence the term Civil Marriage Registers and other related phrases. As Andy has said in relation to Kay's question about Holy Cross Church, the Catholics (and non-conformist churches) had to have an authorised person present to ensure that the marriage was considered legally legitimate, but the ceremony would still be by Banns etc according to the rites of that church according to Canon Law. The authorised person's presence was to ensure that the ceremony also complied with Civil Law. >From the 1750s to 1837, Hardwicke's Marriage Act meant that all marriages had to be in the Church of England, with the exception of the Quakers and the Jews, to ensure legal legitimacy. Failure by catholics and non-conformists to comply with this meant that their children were illegitimate in the eyes of the law and had no right of inheritance etc. The start of Civil Registration in 1837, also brought in the concept of Civil Marriages conducted by the Superintendent-Registrar of the Register Office. These marriages are "by Certificate". In England, a Marriage Licence is a Church Licence issued to avoid the procedure of having the Banns called in Church. The use of a Certificate in a Church ceremony, suggests to me two things. First, the couple had not lived in the parish long enough to conform to Canon Law for the purposes of marriage. And secondly, that it may have been a mixed marriage, ie a Catholic to a Protestant, which would in conformance with Canon Law. One variation of the name Burilin which you didn't canvass was "Berlin". There were a group of German Protestants in Ireland who are referred to as Palatines in that they were religious refugees from the Palatine in Germany. Have you checked the etymology of the name?

Hello Claire, Thanks greatly for clearing this up.  Have sent in a correction reject for Minnie and now can finally put my GED Minnie to bed :-) Since this same error shows up on Ancestry, they must be sharing transcriptions with FreeBMD.  Have looked at the 'original scans' before, but have disregarded them as I was not sure when or who created them (the type written pages).  Any Ideas?  For humour, another mess is her sister's marriage in 1893/1894. That one I've worked out though, so is not a problem.

As best as I can see, there are only a few unrelated Herger families in the UK in the late 1800's, so there shouldn't be a problem. But sadly it is never as it seems. FreeBMD and Ancestry show a Minna Herger and Minnie Herger born in Dec 1881. ( I know the family line is prone to twins ie:- Charles & Otto Herger born Mar 1877) The problem comes when the 1891 Census only shows Minna Herger with family, the 1901 Census only shows Minnie Herger at school with her other sisters, and the only other entry for Minna/Minnie in FreeBMD shows Minna getting married in 1908. So would the double entry for the birth certificates be a correction for the other (would one of the birth certificates be stamped with a correction comment?) and Minnie/Minna be the same person, or would they really have been twins. Would there have been any local registries that might help?

Hi Kay In 1881 the GRO record should be an exact copy of the entry in the marriage register. That said, the GRO certificate is the result of several people copying the original register - when quarterly returns were sent in to the local registrar and when their details were sent to the GRO - so errors could have crept in. Their early registers covering the period you are interested in have been deposited at the Liverpool Record Office See http://tinyurl.com/cbxnua They don't yet appear to have reached Lancashire BMD records.
