She worked for Sir Alexander Maguire and Taoiseach William T Cosgrave.  I have found information on the net about these men.

Delia had a visit from the Bishop of Meath on the day he celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination as a bishop;

That was mentioned in her obituary (I posted link earlier) but the wikipedia page you posted isn't really an entry for the Bishop of Meath.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I don't know what you're looking at, but the page is about Dr Michael Smith who visited Delia in 1988 when he was celebrating his 25th anniversary as bishop of Meath.

What I see is- Michael Smith (bishop ... Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. Please search for Michael Smith (bishop in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings. ...

Just wanted to let you know that my marriage certificate application form was posted last Friday.  Not sure how long it will take to arrive or when I'll get my certificate.

While waiting to hear about my certificate I had to email them twice after sending off my form and not hearing anything. 

I got in touch the the Irish FHS of which I am a member and was told that they would phone on my behalf to see what had happened, all I had to do was give the same information that I put on the form.

Anyway, today I finally got a reply from the GRO in Ireland.

No trace of the marriage certificate can be found which is very odd as it was listed here http://registers.nli.ie/ and matches the information I found on another Irish website some time ago.  Surely the register can't be wrong?

Not sure what to do now.

This is the reply I got from the Irish GRO this morning after I replied to their message yesterday;

Thank you for your e-mail – is it possible that the details you found may refer to a Church Record of this Marriage rather than the Civil Records that we hold..?

An extensive search for the period stated was carried out , if you have any further queries , please contact me at any stage..

Not sure what to do next as I really want to find out the fathers names on both sides.

All I know is that they married in Oristown, Meath in a RC church.  No idea which one  ???

Any suggestions please?

Thanks.

Presumably it was the Oristown Parish Church- marriage registers 1763-1842
