Kearns & McCabe

Killeevan (Monaghan)

I'm looking for the marriage certificate of Mary Kearns rossalough aghaboy that married Patrick McCabe. I would like to find out Patrick's parents. Mary's parents were Francis Kearns & Rose Greenan.
Mary's sister Sarah married John McEnerny( Ballyhaise Co Cavan) and her other sister Julia married Edward Smith (Faltagh), but I can't locate Mary's marriage certificate. These marriages all happened late 1800's early 1900's
Any help would be much appreciated

Amanda:

The family should have been in the Cootehill registration district if they were from the parish of Aghabog. I searched the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie from 1885-1915 and did not see a civil marriage record for any of the three Kearns sisters. Do you have the marriage records for Sarah and Julia and could you share thr records?

This looks to be Rose in 1901 with 2 children:

Same household in 1911:

Anne’s birth here in 1878 which confirms parents names:

I don't see any of the marriages either.

Thanks Elwyn for your help
Both Julia & Sarah's marriages are in the Monaghan district.
Julia got married on 11/11/1906 & Sarah on 26/1/1905.
I know Patrick McCabe made his money in America and purchased a property on Market St Cootehill. Him & Mary are on the 1901 census living there, with their 1st child Mary.
I'm thinking now that maybe they married in America, but my research on this has also drawn a blank

The 1911 census says Patrick & Mary had been married 12 years, so c 1899. Daughter Mary was born 27th Sept 1899, so that points to late 1898/early 1899.
