Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Sponsor 1 and 2 refers to the child?s godparents.

With regards to James and Elizabeth?s marriage cert, you really need to know where they got married to make it easier to find it. Generally, Catholic weddings took place in the bride?s parish of origin. Do you know anything about Elizabeth and where she was born?

Do you know when they were married? If they were married after 1864 (when civil registration became mandatory) there will be a civil record of it. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office. Here are their contact details:

Hi Emma

Thanks for replying I dont know where they were married its only recently I found marriage for my gt granmother and found that her father was valentine and from his marriage cert got fathers name I had an inkling that valentine was a family name as my dad was valentine and my gt uncle was also valentine  I remember from being told as a child that one of my granfathers cousins was a footballer not sure of first name just lowry I thought lowry was an un common name until i started searching  thanks for those links I will have a look at them 

Thanks marilyn
