Hello Listers, What a marriage certificate doesn’t tell you:
Marriage Register: Mountfield Parish Church (Church of Ireland), Cappagh Parish, Co. Tyrone #67 June 2 1863 JOHN CRAWFORD 25 years bachelor farmer, Killins. Father: CHARLES CRAWFORD farmer & MATILDA HAMILTON 23 years spinster, Killins. Father: CLAUDE HAMILTON farmer Witnesses: WILLIAM JOHNSTONE & JOHN B. JOHNSTONE It is interesting to note that the bridegroom, JOHN CRAWFORD, had previously emigrated to the U.S., and had perhaps returned home to marry his sweetheart: Extracted from the Londonderry Sentinel, June 5 1863 Married 2nd June, in the Established Church, Mountfield, by the Rev. Mr. Swift, MR. JOHN CRAWFORD, of Pennsylvania, America, to MISS MATILDA J. HAMILTON, the daughter of CLAUD HAMILTON, ESQ., of Mountfield During my thirty years of extracting pre-1880 Cos. Tyrone and Donegal personal notices from the Strabane, Derry and Belfast newspapers, this is not an unusual occurrence. I hope this extract is interesting/ useful to researchers.
