G2G: Aren’t these brother and sister instead of husband and wife?

Question

I’m working through the Galligan profiles to see if I can fill in some blanks with the family and break through a huge brick wall.

I came across Mary Galligan who is supposed to be married to Joseph Coyle. The find a grave link was already in Joseph’s profile as well as them being connected as husband and wife.

Problem is according to find a grave they are siblings and not husband and wife. I relies that find a grave isn’t always a legit source and can have some minor errors. However do you think they’re wrong on this?

Answer 1

His sister , Mary, married Thomas Galligan on 27 Jan 1909 at New Haven, CT. I added the source for her marriage to her profile.

Comments

John Coyle married Catherine Sullivan. Placed the source on his profile.

Thanks, I’ll disconnect them as being married. I figured they were brother and sister. I didn’t think find a grave was that far off lol
