What denomination were the McCarthy and Mulcahy families ? Were they members of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland), Methodists or Presbyterians?
You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
They were Catholic. I have now traced them to Rathkeale 1864 where James my g grandfather was born. Have posted further info and am looking for other births between J&M marriage 1855 and james birth in Rathkeale 1864. There must have been others.
Thanks and regards
