ohhhh......Thank you, Alma, for all the answers to my questions. I was hoping against hope....but it would be looking for a record that does not exist as this was a RC marriage. I did look at church records at the NL in Dublin....for 4 RC parishes....found most of the baptisms....but no 1861 marriage for Thomas/Jane and no 1862 birth/baptism for my 'John'. Thanks again, Alma Janice In a message dated 8/11/2007 8:24:52 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hello Janice, Yes, there is a listing online giving the LDS film numbers. You can search the LDS Library Catalogue online at their site:- www.familysearch.org. Marriage records for Protestants began 1845, but marriage records for Catholics only began in 1864. The registration area of Cookstown that is used in the indexes is in Co. Tyrone.
