What sort of information are you looking for?the actual marriage certificate will list residences of bride and groom as well as occupations of bride, groom & their fathers.

The extracted marriage is online-

I am actually looking for any information regarding children that they might have had and any current descendents who may be able to give more information. I have their marriage certificate thank you.

Also any information on their deaths - I have not been able to definitely identify these facts as well.

What was James' occupation? Have you found them in any census records?

There's a James Smyth with wife Jane here in 1901 census but without further clues it's impossible to guess if this is the family you are looking for.

Thank you for your help. Interesting but possibly not right but have done a search on the census and can't find anything better. James was 23 when married in 1852, and it lists him living in Portglenone and that he was a Shopkeeper...obviously could have changed occupations. Jane was 28 when married and she was also a shopkeeper. I don't have any other information, other than that his father was John Smyth of Galgorm Parks and his mother was Jane Smyth (nee wright)

The online civil registration index (www.familysearch.org) will show deaths but again hard to know which, if any, are correct people. Are you sure they stayed in Ireland?

No I don't know if they did stay. Several other members of the family did migrate to Australia and we know of one who went to the USA. have not been able to find them on the immigration lists to either country so I am sort of caught at the present time. Thanks for your advice
