I am very much a beginner to Irish genealogy, and would value some help, please.
I believe my great great grandparents,
Richard O'MARA and Mary GODFREY
married at Nenagh on January 14th 1858.
By the mid 1860s they are living in County Durham, England.
I am keen to find out more about their Irish ancestry but am not having much luck.
It would seem that Richard was born about 1822 and mary about 1835.
Thank you, and best wishes.

Ian,
Can you tell us the source of this information, and what religion they were?
If Protestant, should be in civil registration - but I don't see.
If Catholic, should be in parish registers - but I don't see.

Rich/Rick O'Meara married Mary Godfrey 14 February 1858 at Nenagh.
Witnesses were James Nolan & Ellen Godfrey (possibly a relative).
There are gaps in the Nenagh parish records.

A possibility:
There are baptisms for Mary (1st October 1835) & Ellen Godfr(e)y (26th January 1834), daughters of Daniel Godfrey & Mary Healey of Cooge, Doon and Castletown.

Thank you Wexflyer and Bearkat.
My source for the marriage seems to be the same as Beerkat's! Catholic family, registers of Nenagh.
Bearkat - are the baptisms you give also from the Nenagh registers?
Thank you again

The baptisms are from the parish of Doon and Castletown, not too far from Nenagh.
