Subject: [WAT] SPARROW/CLARKE married in Waterford Cathedral
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 20:00:15 -0700


Joseph SPARROW married Hanna CLARKE, apparently in Waterford Cathedral,
probably between 1820 and 1823.

After their marriage, Joseph Sparrow and Hannah Clarke lived in Clonmel
where he ran an apothecary's shop. Business failed in the famine years
and they immigrated to Peel Co., Ontario in about 1849 or 1850.

Their children:

Anne Wilkinson Sparrow (my gg grandmother)
b. 6 Nov 1823

Catherine Sparrow
b. 7 Nov 1825

Jane Sparrow
b. 15 Feb 1827

William Sparrow
b. 21 Mar 1829

George Sparrow
b. 17 Mar 1834

Thomas Sparrow
b. 7 Feb 1836

Joseph Sparrow
b. 26 May 1838

Hannah Sparrow
b. 23 May 1840

I would like to find the record of Joseph and Hannah's marriage. Does
anyone know whether marriage records for Waterford Cathedral are
available for the early 1820s?

Regards to all,
