Free Look-Ups for Dublin, Ireland

[Fil]

Dear Kate  -  I wondered if you could help me trace the parish records for the marriage of my Gt Grandfather James O'Loughlin (O'Loghlen) to Mary Ann Johnston  in Dublin between 1860 - 64. - They had children Torlough (1863) and Francis (1865) Margaret (1868) - all baptised at St Mary's. But there is no trace of their marriage at St Mary's - I feel that they may of married at her parish (but she was born in Dublin - as UK 1871 census states) - but I can't trace which one - Unfortunately I live 3.5 hours away in Mayo with wife and 3 children under 6 and find it almost impossible to get to Dublin and look - Can anybody help me - I don't want to give up as I feel that I have gone so far.

Hi Catherine,

Thank you for a free look up for Dublin offer!

I am not sure how I can start-you see, my great-grandmother was from Dublin, Ireland. No one knows if she meant the City or County.

I have been trying to find her birth entry to no success. I even went to the GRO in person when I was on holiday in Ireland from America. The same results.

Perhaps you can help me out-I hope it is not going to be too much trouble!

What I know about her is that her name was supposedly Mary Deegan and that her parents were: Michael Symth and Mary Deegan.

This information does not help me at all.

Then I got a death certificate of her husband, my great-grandfather, it showed her last name was Lynch.

Another problem is that I do not know her actual age or birthdate. From what I learnt through the documents I have, it seems she may have born between 1870 and 1880 or a bit late.

This is a real brick wall for me. I could not go beyond this wall.

I have tried the indexes. Not much success, either.

I would welcome your helpful suggestion or ideas that will help me to climb over the brick wall.

Your help would be most appreciated in my wee corner!

Regards,

Tees

I would be grateful if you could look up Richard Hinch on the 1901 census for Summerhill this should include his son Peter Hinch aged approx 12, I dont know the number though!

Hope this is possible?
Thanks Christina

Hi
It might be a bit out of reach but anything is worth a try. I have a couple who married in Dublin on 28 jan 1804 at the Mansion House Dublin. The grooms (John Hutton) father Henry Hutton was mayor of Dublin at the time. The bride and groom were of opposite beliefs and had to have dispensation to marry. Apparently the ArchBishop married them. Due to the nature of the marriage I have been advised that it is highly unlikely that there is actually a marriage registration for them.
If you have any resources that might give me some more info especially on the brides family (Her name was Jane Burton, her father was Edward William Burton and she had an uncle by the name of Mr Blood)
Thanks
Christy

Hi,

As you know the exact date of marriage and they were prominent, I would look in the newspapers of the time for the announcement, a few days either side of the event.

Thanks

Hi Kate
As far as I am aware the family history libraries don't have them but I might be wrong. I will check. Unfortunately I might have to wait until I can get to Dublin as it is a bit far from here (Australia!!!!!!)   
Thanks Christy

Hello Catherine

As Co. Kildare is near to Dublin does this area included in your research offer ?

I am looking for info on the mother of my great-grandfather who died & is buried in Kill Churchyard in Naas. She was Anna/Anne WRIGHT who died suddenly on 19th October 1862 while in the service of the Earl of Clonmell's Bishops Court estate. If there are estate records kept of household personnel employed at Earl of Clonmell's Bishop Court estate in Co Kildare, for the period around 1854-1862 I am told they may well be in the National Archives.  I am also loking for a male named CLEMENT as Anne had a child born 1856 in London who is registered as Louis Clement.

Any info or leads welcome.  thanks John
