I’m trying to find the parents of a woman from Belfast, Northern Ireland and am hoping a marriage record might help. Does anyone know of a way to find a marriage certificate from 1915? I found an index transcription but that’s it so far.
More specifically, I’m looking for a Sarah Kearney who married a Michael O’Lenny or Lenney in early 1915 in Belfast.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Barefoot Bowls still being strongly promoted here in Australia, was wondering if it is being promoted in other countries, maybe north America, Britain and Ireland?



It's a great way to promote your bowls club and bring in some revenue.

My late father, Jack Shaw [1912-1993] served his time as a ship's fitter in Belfast with Workman & Clarke [1932 P/L] He worked on the original, purpose built whaling vessels, Cosmos I and Cosmos II. When Workman & Clarke merged with Harland and Wolff in 1932 young Jack went with them. Served during WWII on merchant ships during the Atlantic Convoy period. We migrated to Brisbane Australia in 1951 and dad found work with a local ship builder at Kangaroo Point Brisbane. Balfor.

Bit difficult to visualise Sammy as Marie Antoinette!😜
