Comments
I have Thomas Dixon & Susannah Horgan's marriage certificate. He is listed as being 20 & his father is John Dixon a brush maker of North Main Street. They had a son John Edward Dixon born 6th December 1850. I was led to believe that John Edward Dixon was older than Charlotte Sailly. It was also suggested as Charlotte, Sailly & Susannah were unusual names in Ireland, that there is a possibility there are Hugenotes somewhere in the family tree, but this has not been proven. Susannah may have also had a sister Charlotte as there is a Charlotte Hutcheson Horgan marrying at about the same time as Susannah with the father Cornelius (another unusual name for Ireland).
