It will cost US$8.00 for a photocopy of the marriage entry in Ballyleague Registrar’s District. Suggest you request the certificate for Patrick Duffy and unknown McKeon.

Accuracy of some pay-per-view websites.
Where the system falls down is that the computer extract was often produced at Public Expense by disinterested young people taken off the dole queue for a few days a week in an attempt to lower the unemployment figures.

Hi all
Many thanks for all the help i am receiving in my research.

I don't have an actual civil birth cert for their son Michael Duffy born in 1869.
I sent for the civil birth cert some years ago to the reg office in Roscommon but they said they could find no recordof the birth.At the same time i also applied for  abirth cert for their other son Patrick Duffy born in 1871 again no record. Also for the marrige cert for Patrick Duffy and Margeret McKeon no record all from the reg office in Roscommon.

Is there a reg office at Ballyleague or all civil records kept at Roscommon?

Patrick Duffy age from the English census of 1881,1891 and 1901 gives his birth about 1840 therefore in 1868 he would be 28 not 25 as the marrige to Bridget McKeon gives this does not quite match.

Margeret Duffy (McKeon) birth from the same English census her birth matches with that of Bridget McKeon wheh she married in 1868 birth 1850.

I have English birth certs for thier other children born in Englandwhich gives the mothers former name as Margeret McKeown.

I am assuming the marriage record i have for Patrick and Margeret in the Roman Catholic parish of Kilbride took place at Fourmile house but could it have taken place at some other place but still in the parish of Kilbride?

Where and how should i apply for a marrige cert for Patrick and Bridgetand their son Michael and Patrick?

Once again many thanks
Best wishes
John Duffy
