In order to order the marriage certificate you'll probably need to narrow down the date a bit. Did they have any children? if so, when was the oldest known child born?

Hi Aghadowey
The only child Ive any info about is Hannah b 1897/8 in Castleisland but I dont know if she is the 1st or last or even somewhere between ;D..however I think there was about 11 or 12 kids altogether though I dont know how many survived.
Thanks for your time Agadowey I know it must be very precious these days ;)

Civil records for all Ireland are not online like those for other countries like England, Scotland, etc.
Without knowing when all the children were born it's still not clear when the marriage would have taken place.
However, the 1911 census for Co. Kerry is supposed to be put online in October 2008 (any day now?) At that time married women (not widows or widowers) were asked how many years married and how many children they'd had (and how many were living).
If this family were living in Kerry in 1911 you'll be able to get an approxiamate year of marriage in order to be able to purchase the certificate from GRO.

I've been looking for another Charles Dennehy (his father was William and his mother was Julia Bradley and they were from Ballybeg, Killeentierna, and I think Charles and his brother William emigrated to New York in 1903 and 1904)/
I came across some court records in Tralee for Charles and "Kate" from Castle Island which could be your Charles.
