Not sure exactly what you are looking for but have you looked at all the links in MONAGHAN RESOUCES yet?

Im looking for any record of my 4x Grandparents Marriage around 1800-1820
Thanks for replying Aghadowey

For such an early marriage (before civil registration) you'll need to search for church records (if they exist).

Will That mean a trip to Belfast or Dublin ??

You would need to know religion and a location (town, townland or parish) to start any research as the records are usually in individual microfilms for each parish
Catholic records are available in the National Library in Dublin. website : www.nli.ie Index to the films available : http://www.nli.ie/en/parish-register.aspx
most of the surviving Church of Ireland records are available in the Representative Church Library in Rathfarnham in Dublin. website : http://ireland.anglican.org/

In general, you'd be lucky to get back that far with church records, some do but many don't..Most people got married in the girl's parish but they may have then attended a different church depending on where they lived after marrying, so searching for their children etc may mean looking elsewhere, they may even have moved again to another parish or county.
