Do you know the parish ?

Is that parish not on rootsireland and THAT's the issue that you have OR that it's not in the parish that you thought it would be.

As far as I know NLI has ALL the parishes, I could be wrong with that though.

If it's the second issue then it could not show on rootsireland for a mistranscription or fading issue.

Some of the 'modern transcripts' are actually available to view on the new site today too, but remember to take the transcripts with 'a pinch of salt' and compare for yourself with the original.

I have been unable to source an original as I couldn't find the marriage on rootsireland nor when I visited the local registry when I was in Ireland a few years ago.

Cost me quite a few Euro's & came out with nothing

Tara,

All I had when I went to the local office in Ireland was both names & date for marriage c 1832 & that the info. from census had their kids born Derry............1st born c 1834

I had the woman searching for the marriage & all 5 kids ranging from c (1834 - 1844) give a couple of years but nothing showed up but cost a fair bit for the searches.

Now that this site is online I can check other areas close to Derry 

My geographical knowledge of Ireland is 0

The info from what Census?

The images of the originally typewritten books have a last column "page number".

Would anyone know what this page number refers to? Does it cross reference to a handwritten volume?

This is probably to the moderator but maybe you guys in general can answer this or make suggestions:

We all know that this forum is going to be inundated with questions re the registers and I reckon the threads will be all over the place.

Does anyone think, in time, it might be a good idea to set up individual boards for each church ie Dublin would have a seperate board for each of it's churches and so on for each county where people could answer on their experiences of reading the records for that church.

I just worry that otherwise we will keep getting asked the same questions over and over ie How far do the records for this church go back, how recent are the records, how legible are the records, what extra info is on the register, missing years etc etc etc

Anyone think this is a good idea or am I overthinking it ?

Tara

Hi Tara

Rootschat doesn't have the spare capacity of boards to do what you suggest.

I'm sure you and all the regulars will work with KarenM (moderator) to keep the board tidy and tactfully point people in the right direction when they start asking questions.

My husband's ancestors came from Dublin according to English census, but I know nothing about Dublin.  I guess there are lots of parishes, so I'll just search through them all until I find the family.  More important really is what happened to my husband's 2 x g.grandfather after the mid 1850s when he seems to have disappeared, he was living in Manchester at the time.  He probably died, but with a common name and too many certs to buy I've given up on him for the moment.

I'm a bit disappointed so far. The only records I have found are the same as the ones they have on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/. It's strange because I found a transcript of a marriage of one of my ancestors on the family search website and it had a lot more information on it. I was hoping to see a copy of that but no luck so far.

I like the website.

I think that it is very well laid out and easy to navigate.

I especially like that you can either print the record, or download it to your computer.

I do wish that they had put more Pariah Records online, hopefully they will in the future.
