A member of the volunteer staff at St. Patrick's Church has graciously sent me the marriage register information for my George Viehmann and Jane French, married Oct. 10, 1854. While I didn't learn any parent information, the register did list 2 witnesses: Frederick Hecker and Margaret Haman (The H in their last names could be an N; the m in Haman could be Harnan, etc.). Does anyone have this Hecker or Haman in their research? In the event it helps anyone, other names on this page of the 1854 St. Patrick's marriage register are: --Sept. 20 or 26, Married-John Turner & Johanna Fitzgerald, witnesses-Michael Fitzgerald & Catharine Ryan. --Sept. 22, John ?Neanin? & Ann ?Crahen?, witnesses-Thomas Crahan & Mary ?Neanin?. --Sept. 30, Thomas Ward & Ann Kelly, witnesses-John Carroll & Ann McLean. --Oct. 1, Patrick Downes & Maria Ragan, witnesses-James Burke & Bridget Cleary. --Oct. 3, Patrick Cunningham & Ann Talbot, witnesses-Michael Nash & Mary McCarthy. --Oct. 10, Thomas McNamara & Mary Conners (best guess), witnesses-Patrick Brady & Julia Maack (?). --Oct. 10, Michael Maloney & Mary Flaherty, witnesses-Patrick Maloney & Mary Welsh. --Oct. 24, Daniel Murphy & Mary Connell, witnesses-John Brady & Ellen Fleming.
