Hello List. I was hoping that someone maybe be able to help. I now know that William Carroll married an Ann Castle probably late 1840's and probably in Dublin. Would anyone be able to help me find their marriage? Thanks Carolyn

It became compulsory in Ireland for births, marriages and deaths to be registered for everybody from 1864 regardless of religious affiliation. For those belonging to the established church (the Church of Ireland) marriages were recorded from 1845. It would help therefore to know what religion your William Carroll and Ann Castle were. It would narrow the search even further if you knew what parish they lived in. Do you have the address they were living at when their first child was born? That would be an indication. I have a William Castles in my family background, not that that necessarily helps you. He married Elizabeth Kieran in 1871, so was probably born before 1850. His parents were Peter Castles & Esther Beakey. He was of Bloomfield Ave, Dublin at the time of his marriage. His wealthy father-in-law can't have liked him much. William and Elizabeth inherited exactly one shilling on his death...! Good luck in your research. Debby Raymond, Queensland, Australia.

Debby This is the problem. When Thomas Carroll was born in 1855 it was in Liverpool. I have found a census 1861 with Ann on it and she is from Ireland. The family always believed Dublin so that's the first port of call. I dont know where else to go to look. Thomas married in a Roman Catholic church in Liverpool in 1887.
