Researching how far my Callaghan ancestors from Navan, Meath go back

[Gibby1968]

What's the point in following a link to information I have already?

A previous poster seems to think I have plucked the marriage date out of thin air so I have provided them with solid evidence of the marriage by posting an image from the register I got from the National Library of Ireland.

The link was provided for those of us trying to be of help.
It is general practice to follow up by finding the information already provided in order to see if there are other clues and to confirm information.
That is how many of us do it and we do it to help.
In this case, searches had been made without success.
Out of curiosity, because you had found them, a poster asked where you found them. There is nothing sinister in the request at all and no-one doubting your information.
You kindly then posted the information after the link so we have seen it twice.
It's great that you have found them!

Which says only baptisms but has marriages 1848 - 1880

Thanks Sinann, so the reason I couldn't find it is that the register information is incomplete, ie. the marriages aren't mentioned.  A useful lesson going forward.

Edited to add: Sinann, have you reported that back to nli under their "Send us feedback" page? If not, I would like to if you don't mind...

I have resized the image but it's probably too small to see now

Thanks Gibby1968, as said above, a lesson learned regarding the completeness of the register information.

I hadn't even noticed the feedback feature, so you go right ahead with that.

What Heywood said and to save you the bother of altering the image which was too large.

Getting back on track, it would appear that many of the marriages on that page are not showing on the Civil Registry, so what does everyone think, could we be dealing with a priest who did not send in the information or is this something that would be worth asking the GRO about?
As at least one does have a Civil Cert why not all the rest?

[gaffy]

I think the scenario of the priest not sending them in has to be a distinct possibility, nothing is coming close for Thomas and Ellen in my searches and I've gone beyond Navan registration district.

Why are you finding it hard to believe I have the correct marriage?  The information came from the National Library of Ireland website.

I will be sending off for the marriage certificate this week as I have been able to confirm the marriage date.  I am hoping it will tell me both fathers names so I may be able to get back a little further.

No one finds it hard to believe you have the correct marriage, they never did, we just wanted to see it to see if there was anything else to learn from the page it is on.
And we have, almost all the marriages which took place on dates before and after it are missing from the index.
The question is why are they missing?
This may help you if the GRO say they can't find the Cert.
Hopefully they will find it, fingers crossed.
