Default trying to link 2 families between 1853-1878

hi all, cant get anything after 1851

am trying to find a maria corcoran or cochrane, married 14th jan 1878 to squire jones - father thomas cochrane, stonemason, born in woolton, liverpool, age 23, marriage in prescot

have got the family in the census but would like a birth for either maria or father thomas, many thanks for your time

i have 1881, 22 appleton village , widnes, squire jones, 26, chemical labourer born leeds, maria jones/corcoran, 25, born woolton, martha elizabeth jones,2 born widnes, thomas jones, 11 months born widnes

have just had a look on family search and found maria corcoran
28 feb 1853
woolton
father - thos corcoran
mother - mary murphy corcoran, could this be her

From the IGI, there are two sisters for Maria Corcoran:

Johanna Corcoran
Christening: 15 JUL 1855 St Mary Woolton, Liverpool, Lancashire

Anna Corcoran
Christening: 18 APR 1849 St Mary Woolton, Liverpool, Lancashire

tried a marriage and got liverpool 20 sept 1846 thomas corkoran - mary murphy, born hibernia ireland, father joannis murphy,
father is thoma corkoran for the other one

what i really need is to find this family after 1851 and with thomas jones as stonemason, any help or pointers in the right direction would be really welcome, i feel hopeful it is this family but need more proof to be really sure, many thanks to those who devote their time to reply, really appreciated

You realise Hibernia just means Ireland? Thomas and Mary were both b in Ireland according to the 1851 census.

Bidston, you should have been getting a birth cert for one of the girls before getting the marriage cert, to confirm mmn!!

Good morning....just to let you know that Woolton adjoins Garston and I know a lot about Woolton / Much Woolton / Little Woolton...other names it was known as prior to becoming Woolton...St Marys church is where my ancestors were christened and you should know that they very often transcribed names on certs in the Latin form....ie as you have said ..Joannis for John ..Maria for Mary etc....
Prescot was the reg office for Woolton but is a good 10 miles away.
Woolton has a quarry and it was this quarry that supplied all the sandstone for the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral which took a hundred years to build...so hence the stonemason connection and Widnes is about 5 miles from Woolton and is a massive supplier of Chemicals in England....

strange that the marriage of Squire Jones and Maria Corcoran isn`t on Lancashire BMD in 1878.....where did you get the info for the 14th January 1878 marriage in St Marys ....have you got the certificate ?

the 1846 marriage is there

CORKRAN** Thomas Murphy Mary Prescot register office or registrar attended Prescot R/4/41

** see explanation at the end of the page .....????
any idea what this may be Merry ???......
..............allan

It's because there is an alternative spelling of his name. There is another thread on here about this family, just off to find it...

Lancashire BMD isn't complete yet, not anywhere near.
