Trying to find marriage in Ireland ...John CURTIN / Elizabeth HEFFERMAN?
they had a son Denis Joseph CURTIN b 11.12.1911 where in Ireland????.. died 1976 Keightley, Yorkshire
-
I checked the online civil registration index and can't find Denis' birth (Denis Curtin 1910/1919)- of course, it's possible he ws registered as Joseph, under another Christian name or as 'male'.
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&countryId=1927084
Are you sure of his mother's maiden name? might it be Heffernan?
-
Do you know if they had any other children born in Ireland.
Assuming they were married by the time of the Census in 1911 I found a John and Elizabeth Curtin in Cork they already have two sons and a daughter, their youngest is only 5 months a bit soon to have another in december but not impossible.
There is also a John and Lizzie Curtin in Kerry they have six children.

LDS shows an Elizabeth Heffernan marrying a spouse named Curtin in Cork in 1906.From census looks like family at Rockhill East-in Kanturk registration district in NW of county

MARRIAGE: Elizabeth Heffernan Jan./Mar.1906 Cork registration district volume 5 page 114.
Can't find match for a Curtin?
MARRIAGE: John J. Curtin Apr./June 1906 Kanturk registration district volume 5 page 157
No match for Heffernan on page.

Its possible that the Curtin family showing in Census 1911 at Ballybrannagh Tralee is the correct one
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kerry/Arabela/Ballybrannagh/280744/
There is a marriage of Elizabeth Heffernan Jan Mar 1900 Tralee Vol 5 page 463 and a John Curtin with the same references so a possible match.
Also Birth reg for Denis Curtin Tralee Jul Sep 1911 Vol 5 page 449
This may be too early but there is a later one Oct Dec 1913 Tralee vol 5 page 438. Would be worthwhile getting the birth certs.

I knew I'd seen some Kerry marriages on that website up to about 1900 - so thought I'd give it a try!

I am doing this research for my cousin in Yorkshire. His father Denis Joseph CURTIN married into my SMITH line in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
Looking at the notes I have it is Elizabeth HEFFERNAN so the marriage that annclare found would be the right one.
I will have to phone cousin from Aust and find out what the other children's names were as I did not take note of them, which would have been a help. He did say that they moved to London area.
