Portlaw marriage in 1831
« on: Saturday 07 January 17 19:00 GMT (UK) »
I have located a marriage via the Irish Catholic Parish Registers - marriage date April 1831, it just says marriage place was Portlaw, Waterford. I have no idea at all about Portlaw would anyone be able to point me in the direction of which church this may have been. Thank you.

Portlaw is a parish not just one church.
Where did you find the marriage?
If not on the NLI site, have a look here http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1117 and you will see how large the parish is.

or did you know it was Portlaw parish and that particular record has Portlaw written on it indicating the husband was from Portlaw town?

Hi Sinann
Thank you for your reply,
 its Irish Catholic Parish Registers via Ancestry, now I have seen link you mention, but I am not in Ireland and as this is now a new search direction for me I am unsure how to access that.
This I have just says marriage place Portlaw Waterford, Diocese Waterford and Lismore .
Thanks again.

Just click on the Link.

The parish records on Ancestry are a transcript of the free images on the NLI site, which can't be searched by name.
You have to find the set of images your year is in, open that and you can search by type of record and year and month. But you have to find the marriage by scrolling through the page(s)
Main page
http://registers.nli.ie/

It would be easier if you gave the names and month, than we could have a look at the marriage.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Hi Hallmark
Thank you for the link, I can now see how it works, I have found the marriage in there but I'm still trying to decipher it all.

The first names are in Latin.
John Kirby Bridget Flangan
Arthur Flangan, possibly Cath Kirby. Michael(abbreviated) O Rourke (Priest, he's on a few of them).


The Con at the start abbreviated Latin for married.
The word after Bridget Flangan seems to be most of them, think it could be abbreviated Latin for witnesses
