To find church records you need to know both the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland). Then you need to see what records exist (not all records survive and of those that do not all are online).

Hi Jennyrob just came on your post, the marriage, of John Diggins to Bridget Burke, was 14yj Nov 1873, Killea, John Diggins age 24, Pilot, son of John Diggins, Pilot, and Grand son of Patrick Diggins & Margaret Flynn, Bridget Burke, age 22, daughter of John Burke, Mason, Killea, Dunmore East, their family, Margaret 1875, John Diggins, 1877, all Dunmore East, and Patrick Diggins, 1878, Rose Lane, Waterford City, and yes this family left for Cardiff. I was researching Bridget Burke as her father's trade a Mason, I had a GG Grandfather John Burke who was also a Mason, from Faithlegg, same parish of killea. Jim

Hi Jim

 Cant throw anymore light on John Burke All I know is that my  Bridget Burke married John Diggins and her father John  was a mason

I have been looking at a lot of births deaths and marriages in Ireland and some of the churches have been very helpful supplying me with records

 Good luck
