James O'Dea and Catherine Bowles

Hello,

I enclose the marriage cert 1873 for the above mentioned. I can't make out Catherine's address but she was from Oola, Co Limerick. This is her parents,siblings and probablyher daughter in the 1901 census http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Oola/Gortavah therefore I know her mother was Johana.

Can anyone locate a record of the parents marriage or record of Catherine's birth please?

A similar request for James O'Dea i.e. parents marriage or his birth details - his address is Kilmore which is near Cappawhite in Co Tipperary and his fathers name is Edmond or possibly Edward?

Thanking you.

Hi Jim!

I think George Bowles was married twice and Catherine was a daughter from the first marriage. Below is the likely baptismal record for Catherine followed by George's second marriage record (church and civil)

Roger,

Great find - I had no idea of George Bowles second mariage.and it has also given me his fathers name.

Thank you.

I know it is three years down the track, but I have Bowles from Limerick and I believe that Gurtavahane is the place of address for Catherine Bowles mentioned on her marriage cert of 1873. Marie from Brisbane
