Hi Dawn, It's possible but not definite that your Mary O'Keefe came from Ballincollig which is about six miles from Cork City and was the location for a military barracks. For information about regiments etc. try Denis Grant at milgenire@yahoogroups.com You won't get a birth cert for Mary O'Keefe but you should have no trouble getting a marriage cert if you are sure it took place in 1864 or later. Your nearest LDS Family History Center can get you the Index to Irish Marriages for the relevant years. You then send the details to Joyce House in Dublin where you can get a photostat copy (cheapest) or a transcribed copy. If you do get the marriage cert it may help to narrow your search for Alfred and Henry. You can then get their certs by following the same procedure. Regards, Brendan Jones. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dawn.MikeGriffis <Dawn.MikeGriffis@VALLEY.NET> To: <IRL-CORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 3:02 AM Subject: [IRL-CORK-CITY] Parrish / O'Keeffe (forwarded from Dawn.MikeGriffis) > I am looking for a marriage of a Mary O'Keeffe to a Alfred Parrish between 1865-70 and the birth of an Alfred and a Henry between 1865-74. Mary O'Keeffe came from 5 miles outside the city of Cork and the family was catholics Alfred Parrish was in the military they left there 1874ish to go to India my grandfather was born in India 1875-6 that is definate. I have no idea how old she was when she married if a birth or a christening on her was found that would be fantastic. Alfred Parrish could have come from there but that one is an even bigger mystery. > Any help would be greatly appreciated > Dawn USA > > >
