Thanks, it looks like the right person . Are you using familysearch to get Walter's marriage details? I get a blank when I try. I usually use Ancestry but get no matches for either birth or marriage details either.The army notification is headed Donore, S.C Road, Dublin. The minister is J.M.Hamilton the license is by Rev T.H.Chapman (Chaplain) the record was entered into the 2nd  Gordon Highlanders records. It looks like Jane's birth, as her father was William and mother was Grace although this is unconfirmed. Do you have the description so that I can get her birth certificate.

Walter


The  marriage index details are from the familysearch Irish Civil index - see link posted by aghadowey earlier. Select a marriage search, enter just the surname, year and Dublin,Ireland .. he's the first record.

I dont believe ancestry have any Irish BMD records

I believe the birth details for Jane given are from the IGI (www.familysearch.org) - I'll see if there is a matching index record on the Civil Index.

The place of marriage looks good... same minister as you already knew.

Go back to the search page and enter the surname 'Pryce' and nothing else then click on 'search' button. When the search results appear click on 'Place' (upper left side of page) and select Dublin. After this you can experiment with different options such as date, event, etc.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
