Hi!
What a lot of fantastic information.  I'd be really interested in the family members buried in the cemetry.  My great grandfather was stationed in India where he married my great grandmother, who was born in Dublin, in 1873.  I know that they had 12 children although some died in infancy.  Whilst one died in India I'm not sure about the others.  However, my grandfather and several of his siblings were born in Ireland between 1880 and 1890, his birth cert shows that he was born in Naas & Caragh in 1887 so it's possible that other siblings may have been born and died there.

Ah, I see now. You didn't actually obtain the cert from the LDS but copied it from a film on fiche.

Even so, that is encouraging - for although I've looked at many a film at my LDS centre, I thought that only the BMD indexes were available, and not the film of the actual certificate.

I'll have to do some delving on the LDS and see what can be found...

Thanks for the info.

Whether this info: will help you the film no: I quoted for the Ballysax Parish Church
was Film No: 101379. full of marriage certificates.  My understanding is this church was
the local church for the Curragh Barracks.
