Hello Toucano,

I located the marriage index for Richard William Bustard and Margaret Norton at the Latter Day Saints (LDS) website at:
https://www.familysearch.org/#form=advanced-records

The index does contain an error however, as it states the marriage took place on 18 September 1866 in Athlone, “Roscommon,” rather than Athone, Westmeath.

The index also shows that Richard’s father was Thomas Bustard and that Margaret’s father was Thomas Norton.

The index follows:
