Jackson, John	Creggan	Jones, Anne	Agbold, Co. Wicklow	1807	Banns of Marriage between John JACKSON of the Parish and Anne JONES of the Parish of Agbold, in the County of Wicklow 2 Aug 1807 by me Joseph JENKINS, curate 9 Aug 1807 by me R. JOHNSON, rector 12 Aug 1807 by me Joseph JENKINS, curate. NOTE: The name R. JOHNSON is not included in the names of rectors on the scroll in Creggan Church. He was likely Richard JOHNSTON. See Burke’s The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales: JOHNSTON (cos Armagh and Dublin, and the City of Dublin; confirmed to Rev Richard JOHNSTON, M.A. Rector of Kilmore, Diocese of Armagh, descended from William JOHNSTON who served at the siege of Londonderry, 1689, and to the other descendants of the said WILLIAM JOHNSTON). Ar a saltire sa. as betw. in chief a trefoil slipped vert, and in base a heart ensigned with an imperial crown ppr on a chief gu. Three cushions or. Crest: An arm in armour embowed, the hand grasping a sword all ppr. charged on the elbow with a spur-rowel gu. Nunquam non partus.This would mean he had Scots roots.
Jackson, John	Creggan	Jones, Anne	Agbold, Co. Wicklow	1807, Aug 12	In the presence of William JOHNSTON of Clough, Wexford & John JONES, Union of Ferns, Wexford. NOTE: It is possible that this John JACKSON was a grandson of George JACKSON & Margaret O’LAUGHLIN. Or there may be some other relationship with the other JACKSONs of the region. It is significant that the exact same record is recorded in the Glenealy Church of Ireland, Co. Wicklow.
Jackson, Wm.	Clough, Co. Wexford	Mason, Mary	Union of Kilmore, Co. Wexford	1807, Aug 13	In the presence of William JOHNSTON of Clough, Wexford & John JONES, Union of Ferms, Wexford. NOTE: It is possible that William JACKSON was a grandson of George JACKSON & Margaret O’LAUGHLIN. Or there may be some other relationship with the other JACKSONs of the region. It is significant that the exact same record is recorded in the Glenealy Church of Ireland, Co. Wicklow.
Reed, Robert		Branagan, Mary		1813 Oct 12
Law, John	Woodlawn	Crawley, Margaret	Cullaville	1814 Apr 9
Clappins [?],Thomas	Monaghan	Gillmer, Martha	Creggan	1815, Mar 24	NOTE: I am unsure what this record was all about. The one beneath makes more sense.
Stephens, Thomas	Creggan	Gilmer, Martha	Creggan	1815, Mar 24	NOTE: A Thomas Stephens married Barbara JACKSON (daughter of David JACKSON & Margaret BRADFORD). She died young leaving three children – the youngest born in 1813. It is possible that this is a second marriage – if he is the same man. I do not know yet where Martha GILMORE fits in. There is a burial for a Martha STEPHENS of Cloghog  in 1856, when she was 72 years old (hence b. 1784).

Ogle, John	Newry	Donaldson, Sarah	Urker, Creggan	1838, Jun 23	NOTE: The dates for Sarah Cannon DONALDSON, daughter of Joseph (1773-1837) and Mary are a fit, but she died a spinster. John and Sarah OGLE emigrated to Australia on Marchioness of Bute arriving 07 Jan 1842. Email, 27/07/2006 L. FRIEND
