I have just recently received the birth certificates of my grandfather, John CARMODY b. Sept. 8, 1862 in Harlington, and his brother Patrick b. Feb. 1858 Uxbidge, to parents Denis CARMODY ,b.1825 in Cork and Johanna COURTNEY/CORTNEY b. 1826 Cork I believe the parents both born and probably married in Cork, possibly Mallow/Kanturk or Kilbrin area. This information of birth data has taken in actuality more than 40 years, and only last 20 years thru computer lists and census. I do not know when they arrived in Middesex, but suspect by 1858 before Patrick was born, Denis was a agricultural farmer. 2 other children were born to them, Johanna in 1859, and Denis in 1865, I have information on them. I am hoping someone can help in finding marriage location of Denis CARMODY and Johanna Coutney. I actually started looking for these elusive people 40 years ago, and found nothing at all til the computer age and lists available but this is hopefully the last brick in the wall. Thank you for any help you can give, it is very appreciated. I have exhausted sites at library computers of Ancestry, and it's a long hour drive to the library to hopefully be able to use. I live in rural area of Florida.

Pat, Some of the old church records, esp. western and north-west Cork & Kerry - not all by any means - are being uploaded on to this site. Had a quick look but, I could only find two references to Carmody marriages in Cork - and none match. A lot in Kerry,though. However, I got a big hit with the name Cortney - with a number of different spellings - in various Cork parishes. None, unfortunately match your exact names. However, it might narrow your areas of research to parishes - as most provide the witnesses names to Marriages and Baptisms www.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords I sometimes have been able to search laterally by tracing back the Marriage witnesses or Baptism sponsors. To this day, it is still prevalent (old Irish custom) of having your bridesmaid and best man as Baptism sponsors of your first born child.
