MURRIN?? from Pouch Cove???, Newfoundland

Hello,

My query is re: MURRIN, Ann(e)...this is the name listed as my GrGrandmother on the m. cert. for her daughter/my grandmother, Helen "Nellie" Fitzgerald m. 1924 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to my Grandfather, John Whelan of Colliers, NL.

From the info I've been able to obtain, my GrGrandparents - Ann(e) Murrin m. Lawrence Fitzgerald (he was b. abt. 1882 from Small Point/Kingston, Bay de Verde, Newfoundland). GrGrandfather Lawrence had a sister that married a "Shea" from Pouch Cove (or area) and this would be how my GrGrandparents met. Since my Grandmother was born in 1904, I'm thinking that their time of marriage would be abt 1900 - 1904.

I have no other info on my GrGrandmother, Anne(e) MURRIN - perhaps b. abt. 1880; m. abt. 1900 - 1904. Her daughter/my grandmother's m. cert. lists her place of birth as New Aberdeen, Nova Scotia; there's a son, Lawrence, b. 1907 listed on his m. cert. as St. John's, Newfoundland.

If any of my info is possibly familiar or if you could forward info to me, that would be great, I'm truly "stumped" with my GrGrandmother!!

Regards, :)

Hello..since posting my query I have a some possibly new info & I'm updating the details..here are the changes ...previous post - maternal GrGrandfather, Lawrence FITZGERALD's Aunt Elizabeth (King) married a SHEA from Pouch Cove area of Newfoundland...I've found written records in the archives at The Rooms in St. John's, NL and online a possible marriage record that could be my maternal GrGrandparents, but I'm still not sure as his age is given as being four years older, born in 1878 {I know his birth date is 1882} plus, the wife's maiden name is spelled differently as MURRANT, this couple was married at at Pouch Cove (St. John's area), Newfoundland..my GrGrandmother Ann's family name has been spelled in a variety of ways - MORAN/'MURRANT/MURRAIN/MURRIN..I still haven't been able to make connections with her family either in Newfoundland & Labrador or in Nova Scotia where my GrGrandparents lived during the early 1900's...any help would be welcomed, thank you! Regards, Nora :)
