George Lindsay, born 1794,
|
He
mar 1stly, 9 June 1829
[St.Michael's (Church of Ireland) parish records, Limerick]
to
Alicia Moore
[born 1800].
Alicia was meant to be grand-dau of Stephen Moore, 1st Earl Mount Cashell. The latter married in 1769, so the dates are plausible, and Alicia was a family name, but can't find her in Mount Cashell family tree. [Letter, 1900] notes that Rev. Thomas Enraght Lindsay recently wrote to Earl Mount Cashell (would be 5th or 6th Earl) and the Earl was not aware of any marriage of a relation to Lindsay. George and Alicia were both Church of Ireland at mar. [Lindsay family tree], based on [Letter, 1900], claimed they were married by a Catholic priest: "though both were Protestants they were married by an R.C. priest because this wedding was not regarded as legal so that Alicia could continue to enjoy the income as a spinster which she would otherwise have lost because her brother would not give his consent." But the St.Michael's (Church of Ireland) parish records do not support this story. Alicia died within a year of marriage, 26th Jan 1830, age 30 [grave], bur 28 Jan [Limerick Cathedral par records] in churchyard of St.Mary's Cathedral (Church of Ireland), Limerick. George is described as of the "Waterguards" at mar 1832. |
