I have an Australian marriage certificate for my 3rd great grandparents, Arthur Kelly and Margaret Martin. They married in Australia but the cert says they both emigrated from Galway. However, I cannot find a hint of them or their parents online.

Here is what I have - Arthur Kelly born 1836, father Brian and mother Mary.

Margaret Martin born 1837, father Walter Martin and mother Eliza Hynes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The marriage cert also suggests Arthur had a brother called Michael who was also in Australia to witness the marriage.

I have a lot of info once Arthur and Margaret get to Australia, as Arthur was on the local council and turns up in the newspapers a lot, in good and bad ways. But their time in Ireland is a total blank.
