Hi Liverpool Lass

Who knows what we will find, but I'm sure we'll enjoy visiting the places we have heard about.

We now think our James Brophy came from the Laois/Kilkenny area before arriving in Warrenpoint.  He married Anne on 24th November 1870, they had 3 children, and then they show on the 1881 England Census.  That shows his year of birth to be 1846.

Does anybody have access to any records for the Laois/Kilkenny areas showing a James Brophy born in 1846?

We are only able to stay for 2 nights and so have decided to concentrate on the Warrenpoint connection and maybe save the Laois/Kilkenny area for another visit.  By the way, can anybody tell me how to pronounce Laois?

Many thanks.

Still banging my head against a brick wall!!!  Whilst over in Warrenpoint we had a wonderful time and everybody we met was so friendly and helpful.  We were able to see St Peter's Church Records showing the marriage of my great grandparents, James Brophy and Anne McGee on 24th November 1870.  I had sent off for a copy of the marriage certificate from Gov-Certificates.co.uk but they have now said they can't provide it.  No explanation or anything, but charged me anyway.  I can't understand why it isn't available when I know the details are right.  I was hoping it would give me details of their parents so that I could then move back another generation.  Does anybody know if it is possible to view Irish  marriage certificates anywhere without going over to Belfast?
