Thank you very much Forfarian for reminding me about when the Civil registrations start in Ireland. I did try church records which of course go way back (certainly do for my other Irish family) and it returned no result at all for name or that person (Caroline Fearnside).
Thanks very much Little Nell for finding that Fearnside in Dublin. Could be related somehow to the same family.
Yes, the GRO charges for England and Wales are high - I seem to recall paying more than £7.00 for a copy of a marriage from them a few years ago now. I paid £7 for my grandfather's birth record from PRONI (Belfast) in 2000 and found the same at Ireland Genealogy page searching free in the past year. Made much progress with that family by free searching which at GRONI (Belfast) I was paying per view before I could even decide if the person might be related or not - a very expensive way to get nowhere! It's a nuisance that one cannot view full certificates listed in the BMDs for England and Wales and then order what turns out to be relevant. Otherwise, one is guessing much of the time.
I will return here after May when I hope to complete my grand project. But I am snarled up until then and I might over-run.
Thank you all for being so very helpful and digging out so much relevant material.
