  Scrabby (Mullinaghta, Lough Gowna) Marriages 1833 & 1855-56

This is an index of the names of the people who were married in the Roman Catholic parish of Scrabby (Mullinaghta, Columkille East, Lough Gowna) during the years 1833, then 1855-56.  The following table of marriages is transcribed from Microfilm No. 4237 held online by the National Library of Ireland accessible through their Roman Catholic Parish Register Search page.   All names and surnames given here are as I read them.  These sections of the registers are in Latin.  The 1833 registrations come from one microfilm and the 1855-56 come from another. I am just giving a link to the 1833 register.  There are no more marriage registrations between 1833 and 1855.

If any of you have a problem with the Latin names, then I have a document online which may be of some help.

Latin Names in English

My list is sorted by the surname of the groom.  Question marks indicate letters or words I had a problem reading.  The letters ‘sic’ indicate that is how I read the letters I have typed.
[ ] indicates that the letters within the brackets are my best guess at what the letters might be. n.g=not given. For the marriage surname Hoghy given here one of the witnesses had their surname spelled Hoghly.  Also for Brigida Ceavon there was a witness whose surname was spelled Craven.

Townlands are not given.
