Lankin/Lanhan/Lenghan/Lenehan?

Kildare

Good Morning,

On the 8th August, 1852 my Great, Great Grandad James Jenkins married Julia Lankin at the Parish Church in Bradford, Yorkshire. According to their marriage certificate James was born in the Dublin area (abt 1829) and Julia in Kildare (abt 1828.) James' father was Thomas Jenkins and Julia's Daniel. On their marriage cert she is Lanhan and in their Banns Lankin. In English census' Julia is Lenghan, Leneghan(1851.) Jenkins (1861 and 1871.) Winkins (!) (1881) when James was with their sons Thomas and James in Huddersfieldand Julia in Bradford, I think. James and Julia had three children Mary Anne, Thomas and James. On the Ireland Catholic Parish Registers I found a Baptism for Julia Lenehanwhose parents were Danl and Mary Lenehan. Perhaps James was Church of Ireland as they married in an Anglican church. Belive Julia died in Huddersfield in 1892 and James in Huddersfield in 1894. Does any of all this rambling ring a bell with anyone please?

Hi 13, looking at old queries and the Jenkins birth was in 1829 in Dublin and can be viewed here undeer church records, mother is Margaret and father Thomas, a C of I baptism so only mothers Christian name given. There is al least one sibling also. I could no locate a marriage on the site, it only has Dublin / Cork and Kerry church records on it. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ ;

We have no hits on Julia as I see no record on Roots Ireland, this could mean the parish reocrds were lost, over 40% of C of I records were lost in the Civil War in 1922 when they were in central storage.

Lenehan and variants get hits in Kildare but no Julia and all RC, also Lankin only begets Larkin and again appear mainly RC but no Julia. As we have no parish I cannot find if the records exist.

The list for C of I is online if interested but only  a few transcriped.

Regards

Pat
