Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages, Ireland · General Register Office

For “Married” 15 NOV 1904 of James McElgunn Gunn & Alice Julia Donnelly

1904. Marriage solemnized at the Roman Catholic Chapel of the Immaculate Conception Newtownbutler in the Registrar's District of Newtownbutler in the Union of Clones in the County of Fermanagh | 195 | 15th Day of November 1904 | James Gunn | full | Bachelor | Labourer | John Gunn deceased | Labourer | alice Donnelly | full | Spinster | Servant | Patrick Donnelly | Labourer

Read from the GRO marriage register page (image 5719039, marriage_returns/marriages_1904/10217) linked from the irishgenealogy.ie transcription; retrieved 2026-08-30. Quoted in the register's own column order, each party in turn: name and surname | age | condition | rank or profession | father's name and surname | rank or profession of father. Column 7 (residence at the time of marriage) is deliberately NOT quoted: both entries read as a townland followed by "Donagh", but the townland names are not confidently legible at the resolution the site publishes; my reading is Alice's as "Lisagurry" (compare Lissagorry Glebe, place #8945, her recorded birthplace) and James's as a townland beginning "Corna-". Both parties signed with a mark. The father named for James - John Gunn, already deceased in 1904 - matches the parents on his 1949 Queensland death registration ("John Gunn | Nancy Smyth", citation #49215); the father named for Alice - Patrick Donnelly - matches the tree's Patrick Donnelly (#70239); the two witnesses are surnamed Smyth, the surname of James's mother.
