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

For John Metcalf & Margaret Ruth McKinney

"1846. Marriage solemnized at The parish Church in the Parish of Moyntaghs in the County of Armagh" - John Metcalf & Ruth McKinney | ages 21 and 19 | Bachelor / Spinster | Labourer | residences Derryinver / Derryinver | Fathers: William Metcalf and John McKinney | fathers' rank: Labourer and Farmer | "according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the United Church of England and Ireland, by licence" - John Evans Lewis

The keystone record for this line. It names both fathers, fixes the townland as Derryinver in Montiaghs parish, Co. Armagh, and dates the marriage - the tree had no marriage date at all. Both fathers appear as tithe-payers in Derryinver in the 1833 Tithe Applotment Book (William under the variant spelling Midkiff), putting the family in the townland thirteen years before this marriage.
