Title: Mary Nolan and Patrick Byrnes
Post by: upmayo1969 on Sunday 24 August 08 14:29 BST (UK)

These are my great great grandparents.  Patrick Byrnes was from Orlar, Kilkelly Co. Mayo.  Mary Nolan was from Balladerheen which was in Mayo and then later boarders changed and it became part of Roscommon. 

I am wondering where the best place would be to look for a record of their marriage.  I need to verify the information that I have already

Thanks for any help

Depends on date of marriage and their religion. Civil registration of Catholic marriages began in 1864 (other marriages from 1845).
If you need to find a church record marriage usually, but not always, took place in the bride's church.

Thank you for the reply.  I already knew all of that I was just wondering if there was a web site like EastMayo.org.  I have found everyone on that site.

I have no idea when they got married but I would think that it would have been in her parish which now would be Roscommon.
