Annie Bell Bennett

On rootsireland, I found a baptismal record for Anna Bell. She was bap. 7 Feb. 1869 in the RC parish of Shanagolden in Co. Limerick.

Parents: David Bell and Cath Canty. Sponsors: Michael Concannon, Hana Enright

My guess is that David Bell was Catherine’s first husband, that she remarried to Bennett, and that Anna took the name Bennett too.

It says after the bride’s name something like “renewed consent.” There are a couple of words on the right side of the entry that I can’t make out.

What was your grandfather's name? Was he Irish or English? Thanks.

Dear Patricia, Thankyou so much for the information you have been able to supply me. That really seems to answer a question, which I have been pondering for a very long time. I had tried different sites but had come up blank. Now I can try and trace David Bell to see whether he died (which I’m presuming happened), rather than David and Catherine divorcing. I will also try to trace Robert Bennett to find out when Catherine and him married. 

Would you have any idea what “renewed consent” meant, after the brides name please?

My Grandfathers name was ‘Charles Oiler (Oliver) Tookey’.  He was English, born and bred in Plymouth Devon.

Would you please let me know, what I owe you for the information you have found. 

Many thanks

Robert Bennett (father George) a seaman on HMS Sanspareil married Cath Canty from Queenstown (fath Thomas a blacksmith) on 11 Jun 1860 in Queenstown according to rites of United Church of England and Ireland.

The mother of Mary Bell was Catherine Canty in irish genealogy

"Renewed consent"--I believe this means the couple were previously married in a civil ceremony or in another church.

Patricia, Thankyou for answering my question

The original register page of Shanagolden (RC) Parish, Co. Limerick, is clear script.  The female sponsor is Hanora Enright, rather than "Hana".  Hanora, frequently shortened to 'Nora'.
