Hi
Thank you for the info, might i ask how you managed to find it? I have been trying for ages to find the marriage for them but to no avail?
Could i be cheeky and ask if you could do a search for their Births? Thank you

I dont think you will find the births in the Civil Index - as full registration only started in 1864.. so they would have to have been married at about 15.

The details came from: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

but don't mention that when ordering a cert. When searching for a marriage I usually open 2 instances of the site and compare the records side-by-side. Some are easier to find than others. You can use the same link to search for birth records. Just bear Shane's advice in mind.

If no luck there you could try the IFHF site. Tipperary and County Dublin (not all of the city) are included.
