Notes:

Married:
"Under the old Penal Laws, there had grown up amongst Roman Catholics the custom of admistering the Sacraments in private houses, on account of the dangers of attending their public places of worship. So it was in the front drawing room of Patrick Hayes's house, called Lisniskea that Charles and Eliza were married on Saint Valentines day 1827.
The ceremony was performed by Archbishop Murray from Dublin, who had baptised the bride when she was a baby.
The best man was the bridegroom's old companion John Luther who later married the bridesmaid; Eliza's younger sister."
