HI there,
I have a MARRIAGE of Henry Hendy to Elizabeth Ransford on the 05-AUG-1823
They were married in MOTHELL Co. Kilkenny
Henry Hendy
Address - Co Kildare COI
Elizabeth Ransford -
Address - Dysert Glebe Kilkenny
Denomination - COI
Does anyone know who this Elizabeth Ransford's FATHER is ?
Any Help with this would be appreciated.

Hello :)
Elizabeth and Henry did indeed marry in Mothell CI in 1823 as from www.rootsireland.ie in the Kilkenny section but when I type in Ransford as her fathers surname...it tells me that I have no matches...could be that she was legitimate and fathers name was not registered on birth cert.

Hi there,
I think the reason is that the website does not have the actual records, that is why it throws out no matches
To obtain the actual records from the Parish or Church is the only way to find the Fathers name.
One way of doing this is to find the Church and email the Local Bishop or Priest to get the Original Document.
What I have done for instance =
1 I have emailed the bishop of Ossary in Kilkenny to source this Record. No Reply as yet.
2 I will contact the RCB in Dublin 14 to ask them to do a search.
Hope this helps

Marriages records from the 1820s would not usually include details of father
e.g. Carlow CofI marriage 1-Feb-1823 (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/c-317-1-2-131.pdf)
and Dublin CofI marriage 19-Feb 1822 (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/d-30-1-3-101.pdf)
