The original records were destroyed in the Public Record Office explosion of 1922, but indexes survive.

So which is correct many or none  :-\

Add- Hallmark -  I'm talking about the FindMyPast collection, your link says:

Quote
Diocesan and Prerogative Marriage Licence Bonds Indexes, 1623 - 1866

If your ancestors marry in Ireland between 1623 and 1866, they may have been married by licence rather than by banns. Marriage licences were granted, on payment of a fee, by the ecclesiastical courts of the Church of Ireland. The original records were destroyed in the Public Record Office explosion of 1922, but indexes survive, and record Protestant marriages as far back as 1623.

The indexes will give you names of spouses, year of marriage and diocese.

I wonder if any of them will re-ermerge under the Beyond 22 project.

Hi There,

Sorry to jump on your thread.

I found on the Marriage bonds what you are all speaking about, my 3xgrandparents William Flanagan and Mary Anne Lundy (Lundon) in 1844 in the Waterford & Lismore area, how would I find where or what Parish the marriage took place.
