Hello Katie, I have looked at the marriage entry for Hugh Devlin and Olivia Stinson and have little doubt that this was a mixed marriage. A mixed marriage in the North of Ireland would have caused great distress and this is reflected in the names of the witnesses – both Devlins, perhaps indicating that none of Olivia’s family attended the service. Am unable to speak of attitudes in Dublin, only Tyrone. Regards,

The Devlins were almost universally Catholic, although “my” Hugh Devlin married Olivia Stinson, almost surely a Presbyterian, in Arboe in 1835. In Ontario after they emigrated they attended the Catholic Cathedral in St. Catherine’s and all family births, etc. were registered there. Another set of my ancestors from Dublin were Catholic and Protestant and fled the wrath of parents to Quebec at about the same time (1830s)... and the breach was never healed. They, too, registered as Catholic in Canada— I assume since in both cases the husbands were Catholic and also the Cathollic Church was a stickler about their rules. My question is: does anyone out there know what the prevailing attitudes were in Tyrone and/or Dublin about “mixed” marriages at various time periods?
