Hi Marg I can't think of anything post marriage - which would give parents' names. I note they married in Ireland - normally the Irish Parish records do show a father's name - so where did you find the Irish marriage? Have you checked the the Ireland RC parish registers on Ancestry or Find My Past? In addition the Irish did tend to have a traditional naming pattern for their children (although it wasn't cast in stone unfortunately). Hence it may be worth looking at the names of their children to see if you can find anything which may match up to certain baptisms for William and Catherine. See; http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cregan/patterns.htm Moffatt can be a pain of a name - I have Muffitt's in my tree (English though) - they have been variously transcribed - including Murfitt. Often takes imaginative searching! Regards June On Wednesday, 23 October 2019, 05:34:23 BST, margrick(a)iinet.net.au <margrick(a)iinet.net.au&gt; wrote:

Unfortunately Marg - deaths in England don't have parents' names (unless possibly it was a young child). In Scotland they do have parents and spouses names - so very helpful. Regards June On Wednesday, 23 October 2019, 11:18:31 BST, margrick(a)iinet.net.au <margrick(a)iinet.net.au&gt; wrote:
