Yesterday I was able to confirm that my 3x great grandfather Thomas Callaghan married Ellen Melia on 25 July 1867 thanks to the National Library of Ireland putting some of the registers online.

I still need to confirm his father's name so I think the best way is to get the marriage certificate from Ireland unless there is another way around it.

I only have a approximate year of birth and death for him so far so I am going to look at the registers again.  I couldn't see him in the Navan registers so he must have been baptised somewhere else.  He married in Oristown.  I assume this was his wife's parish.

I have a couple of other threads about my Callaghan ancestors.  Please can someone delete those for me?  Thanks.

Out of interest, what RC parish were they married in?  The issue you still face is finding a civil marriage record.

I know registration didn't start till 1864; is that for births, marriages and deaths?

Registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages started in 1864- it's 1845 for non-Catholic marriages.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

My family were Catholic.  I have been sent a form so I can apply for Thomas and Ellen's marriage certificate.  At least then I'll know who his father was (I hope :-\).

Gibby

What 'from' have you been sent and by whom ?

You still need the ref numbers etc to get a marriage cert !

There is a petty session record for you 2 x Great Grandfather Michael Callaghan in 1900.

Have you seen it ?
