I know they were married in Kileevan, Clones, Couny Monaghan in 1842. I am looking for information on their parents names, and the marriage certificate. Thank you.
Margie:
I assume your ancestors were Church of Ireland. Civil registration of non-RC marriages started in 1845 so only church records would be available. According to this listing https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/registers…; baptismal and marriage records for the Church of Ireland parish of Killeevan go back to 1811 and are held at the Representative Church Body Library https://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/rcb-library ; There is no central database of the RCB records. You would have to pay someone to search the Killeevan records for baptismal records for Matilda Williamson and John Richmond.

Margie: I am interested in your query because my great great grandfather Oliver Williamson was, I believe, born in Clones and possibly Killeevan in 1798. He emigrated to Upper Canada, specifically to Cavan Township in 1822 after a 3 year stay in Kingston. He was the 7th son of a 7th son. We do know he emigrated with an older brother, Thomas. Other brothers we have no records. I am interested in knowing any information you find out about Matilda Williamson. Bruce Williamson, Port Hope, Ontario, Canada. .
