Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I was unable to locate any Michael Jennings marriage to an Ellen Burke anywhere in Ireland up to 1910. There was a Michael Jennings marriage in 1836 to a Mary Burke in Rahoon RC parish Co. Galway.
Could you provide more information? When did they get married? Any children?

Dont have anymore information They had a son Francis Jennings born in 1855 who emigrated to New Zealand in 1875 The names Michael and Ellen Jennings are what I have seen on the marriage certificate of Francis jennings I did find a Michael Jennings and Ellen Burke in parish records St Michaels Clonfert but got no further Maybe the Michael you found is the one ? I would imagine they had more children beside Francis

I could not find a record for Francis Jennings with father Michael. There are some parishes in Co. Galway which have late records and possibly Francis was baptized in one of those parishes.
