Hi Edd,
Sorry I should have said Corlett when I was talking about the marriages at Emerald Ancestors.
Your Mary Louisa Carlile states she was born at Edinburgh around 1865(1891 and 1901 census) and married at Down in 1888.
I really think it's too much of a coincidence that a Harriet Isabella Collett and a Mary Louisa Collett (1865) were sisters born at Edinburgh.
Then we find a Harriet Isabella Corlett and Mary Louisa Corlett marrying at Down, Ireland. You know the Mary Louisa is yours from the birth certificate. So I have no doubt that, although one is Collett and the other Corlett, that these are the same people.
The only doubt would be the Mary on the 1881 census, but a look at Mary's death entry in 1908, at Scotlands People, should hopefully show her parents names.
Hope this makes sense.
Regards,
Annette
Where do I go from here?

A wee update.
Got this back from Willowfield Parish church today.
Seems a curious thing to me that Mary Louisa Corlett was Scottish born on the 29 SEP 1865 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland but she goes to Ireland (and her sister as well)and gets married.
Then at some point she and my great great grandfather come back to Scotland and he turns his back on the catholic faith and has his children brought up protestant.
My interest lies in following back to Samuel Shannon Carlile(on this excerpt he is a Butcher,previously I have seen him as a farmer) and his fathers,to try and find exactly where he farmed.
Another thing....if the listed professions are to be believed on this excerpt from the marriage document,why would a Scottish barristers daughter head to Ireland and marry a Butcher or Farmer's son?
I would imagine that social concention and class would weigh against such a match.
But at this point...one thing I am readily seeing is that digging deeper is the only way to go!
