You need to buy the marriage cert to find out who their parents were.

thanks will get on to it...this is quite addictive but a little difficult for me ...would love to know who they were and what they did x

As Mel has posted........i think you will need to purchase a copy of the marriage cert.

The best place to purchase certificates is online here...........

If you can find out what year either James Rowan or Florence Lydon were born and where we may be able to look them up on the 1911 but we can't go any further than that census, sorry.

so Patrick born Ireland could be the grandfather? and one of the four sons the father?

Its really difficult as my grandmother mary K Rowan and her siblings died and no information was past onto my father i think this was due to the fact the children may have been separated and put into some form of care ( orphanages) I would love find out more about them all...thank you all for your help

Possibly.......

Marriage certificates usually give you the age the couple were when they married.........whether or not they had been married before.........Residence at time of marriage.........occupation at time of marriage...........The names of their Fathers (If known!) and their Fathers occupations.
