I gave this information in my previous post ???

They married in Oristown, Navan, Meath on 25 July 1867.


From your emoticon I know you think that I'm probably being a bit thick here, but I'm struggling to find the 1867 marriage you found on the NLI website.  I also struggled to find a civil marriage.

For RC marriages under Oristown (variant forms Donapatrick/Donaghpatrick/Kilbarry), I can only see marriages from 1763 - 1842 (with 3 gaps), on microfilm 04186/02. Under Navan, I can see marriages from 4 April 1853 to 21 October 1868 (microfilm 04181/06), but I can't see the 1867 one you found.

I just wanted to see the original record (as I suspect many folk will want to in responding to posters about Irish genealogy from this point on), my worry is that I'm doing something fundamentally stupid in searching the NLI website, could you or any of the regulars (you know who you are) post a link to the marriage or provide the microfilm number or tell me where I'm going wrong, either in respect of the RC Church marriage or the Civil Marriage?

No civil marriage was ever found.

I know that much.

It was the only thing I looked up ~ I didn't look up the NLI as I'm only on my tablet !

The 1867 marriage is mentioned on a previous topic but the source seems to be 'a website'

I know what information I need for the marriage certificate.

I haven't seen the petty session record.  Where do I find this?

Thanks.

The petty session record is NOT for my ancestor.

He was born in Navan, Meath not Cork.

I have stated where he was born earlier in this thread.

Which entry are you looking at?

There's one Michael Callaghan 1900 Meath here-
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKS5-PW45
another here-
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK3K-JYN2

Might be other possibilities so you should go back and check again.

My apologies :-[

I looked at the first 1900 record I came to.

I'll go and check the other links you sent, thanks.
