(my great-great-grandmother Margaret Farrell at the time of the marriage)
Last weekend I was in Dublin. The occasion was the celebration of my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. On my very first visit to Dublin in 1998 I had did some family geneaology and actually did find some valuable information. One finding was that my great-great-grandparents Bernard Farrell and Margaret Collins were married in the Rathmines church in 1866 just a few years before they emigrated to the USA with their first 3 children.
My parents decided to renew their marriage vows in remembrance of our Irish ancestors and arranged for the mass to be held in the Rathmines church inviting our whole family for this special occasion.
