Title: Marriage lookup
Post by: Knocknagow on Tuesday 12 March 13 22:44 GMT (UK)

I am looking for a marriage lookup for Patrick Gallagher and Margaret Kelly from Sligo.  I am guessing somewhere round 1835- 1837 as there son Patrick was born round about that time.  Thank you

Hello,

your dates are pre-civil registration so you would need to know parish and/or townland records at least and it is also quite early for parish records also.

Here are some pointers:

Thanks Heywood for replying.  The problem is I don't have a parish - I have actually traced them back to Ireland via Glasgow.  All I know is that Patrick Gallagher was born Sligo around 1837/38 and his father was Patrick Gallagher and his mother Margaret Kelly.
