Roe-Woods marriage, Dublin

[J.S]

I am still trying to locate a marriage for my Great great grandparents prior to embarking for India from Gravesend(Jan 1841)
with the Cheshire regiment - based in Dublin until Dec 1840

So I would expect a marriage in 1840  hopefully in Dublin. Their first child was born in India in 1841

William Roe  b. 1816

Catherine Woods b. 1821

I have checked for a UK marriage with no result.

I know Ireland is not easy but any help would be most appreciated.

unfortunately the marriage you are searching for is before Civil registration  started here (1845 for non-catholic marriages, 1864 for all) - so you'll need to to try parish records.

The first thing you'll need to know is the religion, and then a possible location of the marriage.

Other than searching through numerous parish microfilms for Dublin City and County, the only other option I can think of is an online search at the Irish Family History Foundation Website at www.irish-roots.ie (paysite - with register transcripts), but their database does not contain much of Dublin City at the moment..

Thanks for the advice. Have been having a look at the Irish family history site - does look expensive at first
glance - looks like about $10 for each look! Makes Findmypast look like a bargain!

i had a look at family history site for you . you have no one even close to those dates for births or marriage . this site is only good for north and south side dublin they have no data for city center where bulk of dublin population lived . had a look at dublinheritage.ie home page no look there either .
 
try figure out where william lived in dublin maybe his military records give a clue , and order parish records through your local LDS heritage center , reckon its your best bet .

                      good luck

Obbie - Many thanks for trying for me. I've no idea where he live unfortunately. I do know his regiment and when he enlisted in the Cheshire regiment and I have his army testimonials. About his service records - how easy is it to get them. Do I go through
the GRO' I am still trying to learn about all this - its all a bit of a mystery

hi j s i live in ireland , you wont get any info here about british military , you need to search british national archives , you can do some of this on line , but you really need to visit , its kew in london . i researched my gr gr grandfather who was in artillery ,
i found it much cheaper to get someone to do it for me .
i used www.richardmoles.com , he was excellent and trust worthy charged me 40 euros
he got me most of the records took him about a month .
if he gets your records it should say where your guy lived it might even mention his wife
                                best of luck , happy hunting .

[J.S]

Thanks OBBIE.  That looks promising and certainly cheaper than visiting - I am in Brisbane
Australia! I'll investigate.
And again thanks for your trouble. appreciated.  John
