Irish Marriage Licence Bonds.

By the 17th century marriage was fairly well defined, but there were still many ways of entering into it. For persons of property it involved a series of distinct steps.

    The first was a written legal contract between the two parties about any financial arrangements between the bride and groom and their families.

In Ireland by the 18th Century Protestants of any substance were usually married by a marriage license bond issued by the consistorial court of the diocese, so there was probably Land etc involved.



Have you checked to see if written legal contract between the two parties was Registered at Registry of Wills/Deeds either before or after Marriage?

Hi Hallmark

I have not checked that. Im assuming if there's nothing on the Registry of Deeds Index online Id need to pay someone to look for that?

 almost all original marriage licenses for the Irish dioceses were destroyed in 1922, however, index books for most of the Irish dioceses survive and can be consulted in the National Archives.

Ive emailed them this morning plus also had a look at their online database.

I do wonder if this person:

22/05/1831 Patrick William to Anthony & Roae Faucett Seapark Steward is a sibling to Peter Fawcett whose descendant started this thread.

Roae could well be Rose.

Also what's a confirmation? Is this the first link to my ancestor Mary Fawcett?
