Can any body do a look up for me in Dublin please? A birth of a Margaret or MaryEllenMurphy circa 1853/4 (She was from the NorthWall area, mother's maiden name possibly Moy or Moye). Also Mary ellen's  marraige circa 1873/4 to a Thomas Lally. Thanks for any help offered. Catherine

Why not look for her marriage in the indexes?
Check the reference matches for each name and that’s the right page. These are available at the Dublin GRO or on film at your local family history centre. (Church of the latter day saints) http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp for your nearest.

The marriage cert will give you both the father's names, their occupations and addresses and sometimes whether they are dead. The witness names can sometimes be useful.

Then you have to take the reference to the Dublin GRO for a copy of the register entry. www.groireland.ie

No, search for each year you think the marriage may have occured for her surname and name and then check the reference against her husband's name for a match.
