Help with marriage in Sligo please
« on: Saturday 05 September 09 10:51 BST (UK) »
I am trying to help a friend with her Irish ancestry. She knows back to Thomas Foley born 1857 who married Bridget Gillen born 1867. We think the marriage may be Sligo as that is where thier son Martin Patrick Foley was born in 1895. How do I get the marriage certificate?
Another branch has Patrick Flanagan married to Kate Egan possibly in Sligo or Leitrim. We know nothing more about these two.
Any help at all greatly appreciated.

found a good match for the marriage of Thomas and Bridget :

 Name: Thomas Foley
 Registration district: Sligo
 Record type: Marriage
 quarter/year : Jan - Mar 1892
 Volume: 2 / Page: 335

 Name: Bridget Gillen
 (same index details)

from the familysearch Irish Civil index at : http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1408347;p=2;t=searchable

you can order a marriage cert from the GRO using these details.
