I am searching for marriage records for Philip Clarke b1813 Ireland (possibly from Dunshaughlin in Co. Meath and Catherine Soraghan b1821. Their first child Patrick was born in 1844 in St. Andrew's church Westmoreland, Dublin. They moved to Liverpool soon after and appear on the 1851 census living in Hockenhall Alley.. Philip worked for Customs and Excise as a weigher. I have searched the Irish Catholic records and on, rootsireland.ie. I have also checked marriage records in Liverpool area but having no luck.

Not what you asked for but in case you don't have the details, Philip's baptism is on 7th July 1813 at Dunshaughlin.
Pârents John and Mary née Laney.
Godparents Peter Laney, Judith Meryman.

Is this definitely their first child?

Thanks for the searches everyone. Patrick is the earliest and only birth I can find back in Ireland. However on a Liverpool census there is an Andrew born in 1845, this is either Patrick's other name or a different child, but I have not found any other Andrew Clarke's on subsequent census forms for this family. I have their youngest son Matthew's birth certificate born 1867 that confirms Catherine Soraghan as his mother. The only baptism record I have for Catherine, is a Cathrine Soran born 1821 in Derrygola in Co Monaghan.

On the image I think the middle initial looks more like a P than a T.

Patrick born Ireland, Anna born Liverpool, so they must have moved to Liverpool 1845-47.


I think Andrew P is Patrick.

Many thanks everyone for this info, I didn't notice that Clarke was miss-transcribed as Charles! And I could not find a death for Andrew. This has helped me a lot, so thanks again..
