Online parish registers
« on: Monday 19 May 25 18:07 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to trace my family in Ireland, but I've hit a brick wall. I'm looking for information on the wife of one of my ancestors. I have the date of the marriage and their names but I can't find a lot more than that. The names are Knox and Wilson and there is a huge number of them in Ireland. Are the Dublin parish registers online anywhere, and can they be searched?

Same website, Civil Records


    Birth register records – 1864 to 1924
    Marriage register records – 1845 to 1949
    Death register records – 1871 to 1974

Non-Roman Catholic Marriages are recorded from 1845 and Roman Catholic Marriages are recorded from 1864.

Due to data protection, birth records are only accessible when over 100 years old, marriage records are only accessible when over 75 years old and death records are only accessible when over 50 years old.

Most RC parishes- IrishGenealogy does not not cover St. Paul's RC (Arran Quay) Parish records

The date of the marriage was 1801. I'm on Ancestry and I've searched all the records I can find on other sites including John Knox's genealogy of the Knox family. All I can find is the wife's name, which was Hannah Wilson. I can't seem to find any trace of her family at all. I thought the parish registers might give that information. The family were settlers in Ireland and they were Church of Ireland.

Unfortunately they seem to have mislaid the table listing parish and sources dates, and also the useful browse by parish function during the recent update, so less clear on exactly what they cover... unless it's hidden somewhere that I cant see

Then IrishGenealogy Church records section is the place to try, but bear in mind that 1801 is very early and not all CofI parish records survive so there's patchy coverage, also the site focuses on the city, and only has records for a few county Dublin parishes.

An early marriage would only usually include very basic details i.e. names of the couple and date, possibly witnesses.
