McKennedy John & Bridger - Cheltenham

[Lance Matthews]

I am looking for a marriage certificate for John McKennedy of Cork, Ireland and his wife Bridget also from Ireland, about 1838/1839. Their first born was Margaret, born Cheltenham in 1841 at All Saints. A marriage certificate would tell me who the Irish parents of John & Bridget were.
