Marriage Certificate with Father's name missing

[Sinann]

The RootIreland transcriptions are questionable to say the least, many were done on a job scheme so often the person doing them had no interest at all in the job, I'd buy the Civil Cert to be sure if I was you.

I'd be inclined to get the certificate too - I know of at least one batch from County Kildare which on RootsIreland just list father's surnames, but if you get the corresponding civil marriage you get the father's full name.
Good luck.

Oh I would have loved a job doing that! 

Quite a few of the UK census transcriptions were done overseas - one classic example was "Bath, Somalia"!!

Hi

Just to let you know I requested the civil certificate from GRO and got a message back that they can't trace it so back to the drawing board

thanks for the suggestions

What year was it?

[Paul Peter]

Hi it was the marriage between James Drohan and Mary Grady in Carrick On Suir on 10/11/1878

There should be a Cert, as its late in the year you might have expected to find it early 1879 but there is no sign of it. Looks like the priest never sent it in or there is something very wrong with the transcription.

Hi Paul

I thought the GRO records were only copies of the parish records so, in theory, the information shouldn't be any different.

In theory being the operative words, but in practise not necessarily so.

I purchased a GRO copy of my gt grandparents' marriage cert some years ago and although I didn't question it I did struggle to find the witnesses in any record/census.

Only recently the actual parish registers have been digitised and uploaded to Ancestry so now, not only can I see my grandfather's signature but I know the witnesses were Brocklebank, not Brockbank.

I wonder if I can ask for a refund as the GRO was not a true copy.

I had the same problem with obtaining the Marriage certificate for Bridget Drohan and Patrick Driscoll in Carrick on Suir on 22 May 1870.  The Rootsireland record does not have a father listed which I desperately need.  Perhaps when the original parish records come on line later in the year, I may have more luck.  IS your James Drohan the son of David Drohan and Brigid Daniel?
