Gaffney's

[wendywoohome]

Hiya,

I have managed to establish, with your help, and birth and death certificates that Lewis Gaffney did marry Mary Kennedy.  Could you tell me how I can find their marriage and how do I go about ordering a certificate?

Many thanks,

Wendy

The marriage of Lewis and Mary was before 1864, and they were RC - so there will be no marriage cert, but should be a church record of their marriage. The problem is establishing where this took place.

The IrishGenealogy website mentioned earlier has most of the RC parish records for the city and a few for county Dublin, but does not have records for Kingstown/Dún Laoghaire.

The are Transcripts of some South Co. Dublin RC parishes available on the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at www.rootsireland.ie

Kingstown/Dun Laoghaire is included, as are some of the neighbouring parishes, but note that some of these dont have any records back to the 1850s

Hi I have just seen your post Michael Gaffney was my Great Grandfather and he was born in 6 Fade Street Dublin I have confirmed this as his mother was Mary Anne Kennedy and is listed on several baptism records for other children I have found that there were 8 Sons and 3 Daughters, what branch of the family are you from.
