Ballygalget, Down

Ballygalget Marriage Index 1854-55

The following table of Ballygalget marriages  is transcribed from Microfilm No. 5478 held online by the National Library of Ireland accessible through their Roman Catholic Parish Register Search page.

This is an index of the names of the people who were married in this Roman Catholic parish during the years 1854 and 1855. This section of the register is in English.

Placenames are not given in this section of the register.

My list is sorted by the surname of the groom.  Question marks or dots indicate letters or words I had a problem reading, two question marks then the harder the register was to read and I am most likely guessing as best I can as to what the surname is.  I have now begun to put square brackets to indicate those letters that I am guessing at.

When two ‘s’ letters come together in a word such as Bessy then the format where the first s looks like an f is used in this section of the register. No maiden name as such as given for Hugh & Mary Anne McGrath.  The wedding was registered as being Hugh & Mary Anne McGrath. No witnesses were listed for the Hamilton & Boyd marriage.
