I had never really read the hand-out one gets from the Registrar's Office in detail but it seems they carry a few unusual registers. These probably would help only a very few people, but I thought I would get this into the archives. Apparently, the PROTESTANT marriages between April 1,1845 and December 31, 1863 are available in a separate register. RC records wouldn't start until 1864. Looks like they only kept marriages and not births or deaths. This might be an alternate place to look if a Protestant marriage was for some reason only registered civilly. There is a separate register for births at sea of children, one of whose parents was Irish dating from 1/1/1864 to 1921. There is a separate register of deaths at sea of Irish-born persons dating from 1/1/1864 There is a register of births of children of Irish parents abroad as certified by the British Counsuls abroad dating 1/1/1864 to 1921. I assume this covered visitors, diplomatic staff, etc. and not immigrants. A register of deaths of Irish-born persons living abroad certified by British Counsuls abroad from 1864 to 1921. Again, probably just people abroad temporarily. Apparently a register of births, deaths and marriages under the Army Act of 1879 - so for those enlisted in the army. A register for only the German Protestant church, Poulbeg St., Dublin from 1806 to 1837, inclusive. Janet
