Thanks Elwyn, I did wonder about this. When were Presbyterian marriages first allowed in chapels/churches ? Do you know how the legal status of the marriages were established before civil registration began. I have seen records of marriages in Ballindrait Presbyterian Church before this - would these have taken place in the church or elsewhere? Sorry for all the questions !Regards MarionSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Elwyn Soutter <[email protected]> Date: 17/01/2022 09:00 (GMT+00:00) To: "CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List" <[email protected]> Cc: marionshephard <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: New Content - Rodgers & Rogers Genealogy Notes, Co. Donegal, Ireland 1830-69 Marion,It was quite common for Presbyterians to marry in a private house. Usually the bride's home, or the Manse (the Minister's House) and sometimes a local hotel, especially in Scotland (where Presbyterianism started). Church weddings are a comparatively recent thing for Presbyterians. Mid 1800s onwards.Elwyn On Sunday, 16 January 2022, 19:28:56 GMT, marionshephard via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> wrote: Many thanks Len for this information and all the work you do. I was intrigued to see a Nathaniel Rodgers of Tierkeren marrying in 1845 in Castlefin. One of the branches of my family were Rodgers at Tierkeren, the earliest known name I have is Andrew Rodgers, who is a tenant there at the time of Griffiths but was there before this according to records for Ballindrait Presbyterian Church. Nathaniel is a new name to me, perhaps a brother to Andrew. If anyone knows anything about this family I would be very interested. I am also intrigued by the fact that the marriage took place in someone's house.Thanks again Marion Shephard =================================Send a Message to the List - [email protected] Archive - https://list.cotyroneireland.com/empathy/list/cotyronelist.list.cotyroneireland.comJoin the list by sending an email to - [email protected] receive the Digest version, send an email to - [email protected] by sending an email to - [email protected]=================================
