I have been able to find the marriage and baptism certs of my great grandparents in Kanturk, Cork. And baptismal of grandmother there. However, my Grandmother came to the USA in 1880's married my Grandfather aprox. 1900-1901 but unable to find her marriage certificate, since the area she lived in NYC, has moved church records to another church as yet unfound, despite years (10) of searching. My Grandfather was born in england of Irish parents from Cork. Since I had no actual knowledge of the grandparents until 1965, just before my Father died ( born USA). I had been in a RC childrens home from age 6-17. How could I apply for Irish dual citizenship?

Pat, Dublin is somewhat forgiving re missing records. See if you can find a newspaper announcement of the marriage and an application for a marriage license with NY State.
