Anne North

Anne must have been born about 1764 and when she was about 22, just a year after her sister Jane was married, she married John North. The marriage licence was issued by the Diocese of Dublin: “Bomford, Anne, and John North, 1786, ML Page 296.” The Hibernian Magazine of September 1786, page 504, reports: “John North of Whitewell, Co Westmeath, to Miss Bomford, daughter of David Bomford of Camden Street.” Betham gives a more precise date: “Miss Bomford, daughter of David of Camden Street, married John North of Whitewell in September 1786”. They were married in Dublin, probably from David’s house at 64 Camden Street. According to a transcription of the St Peter parish records, Dublin, Jane Bomford (16.2) and John North were married on 23 July 1786. There is still some checking to be done (as at July 2010).
