I need a Lister's help, My Grandparents marriage details were given to me from St Finbarr South Church, Dunbar St, Cork (maybe City of Cork) John O'CONNELL married Mary Anne CONNOR 12 July 1874. With this information, I applied for a copy of the marriage certificate to the Office Of The Registrar General, in Dublin, giving relevant details and monies to cover costs. Sadly I received the following:- A search has been made in the records for an entry relating to the marriage of John O'Connell/ Mary Anne O'Connor for the year 1873 to 1875 inclusive. No entry, corresponding with the particulars given in your recent application, was found for that period. Could a Lister please explain why this is so?, and could someone tell me how I could obtain the marriage certificate?. Phyllis Steel from Queensland, Australia
I had the same thing happen. The marriage certificate I have says they were married at St Finbars in 1881 however when I applied to Dublin they were unable to locate anything.
