help needed please
« on: Tuesday 19 January 10 15:38 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the marriage certificate of a John Murphy and Catherine Cunningham, John was born around 1885 presumably in castleisland as they had children there and both died there.  Could anyone tell me where I could find the information on line, so I can purchase a copy of the certificate.   I have tried www.irishgenealogy.ie, but cant see them on there.

Many thanks
Wilson, Gosling, Coupland, Reeson, Clark, Meeds, Fowler, Walker, Gledhill

I think the IrishGenealogy website only includes parish records up to about 1900 ... maybe includes some burials after that date.

To search for a civil marriage record you can use the Irish Civil Index available on familysearch. This covers BMDs between 1864 and 1958

If you find a promising match you can order a cert from the GRO using the index details - name, registration district, year/quarter, volume & page. For a marriage the last four details should be the same for both the bride & groom.
