Is anyone able to please help me find a marriage record for Thomas Jamieson and Ellen moore, their daughter Mary was born 1 January 1899 registered in Strabane but i can’t seem to find a marriage record for them? they are on the 1911 census and it says at that point they’ve been married for 22 years
Family in 1901 census:

Family in 1911:

1911 Census indicates they were married 22 years, had had 8 children of whom 7 were still alive. I can’t see a marriage though.
I did see that there’s a marriage in strabane for a Thomas Campbell and Ellen moore and all the details match up except for his surname? there’s no chance that that could possibly be a middle name or something and they’ve accidentally used that as his surname?
Yes I did see that marriage and the same thought went through my mind. Looking at the 1888 Campbell - Moore marriage I see the groom was from Grange. Also that the eldest Jameson child (Robert Stewart Jameson) was born there too in 1890. So I suspect it’s the same family, with the groom having changed his surname from Campbell to Jameson.
I also searched for children to the Campbell-Moore marriage but did not find any. (That could of course because they had left Ireland, but could also be because of a surname change).
Oh were those children that you sent earlier not the children to the campbell / moore marriage or am i reading that wrong lol
The childrens names are Jameson on the censuses, so they look to be to the Jameson - Moore couple. But they may also be the Campbell - Moore couple if Thomas changed his surname for some reason.
