Maureen~ Were these sacramental records from a Church or were they Civil Records which for Protestants started in 1845?? I have the marriage (Civil) for my g grandparents from Limerick City 1862. She was Catholic but he was Protestant. It gives the bride and grooms occupation, church, address at the time of the marriage. Only the father's names were listed and their occupations. There were no mother's names or where the parents resided. The nationalities of the bride and groom and the two fathers. I have the sacramental record for my g g grandparents in County Mayo from 1835. It lists the names of the bride and groom, the sponsors, the townlands where they resided, the names of the father's and their townlands. All were the same townland. No mother's were listed. Going forward to my g grandmothers in 1860, all is still the same on the sacramental certificate, however it was for a different church. We have the marriage and baptismal records for the RC church in Rathagan County Wexford from 1803 to about 1900. The data is the same as mentioned above. Mary Ellen Chambers Lakewood, OH:

Hi Mary Ellen The records were from the Roman Catholic Church in the the Parish/District of Bruff in the County of Limerick, but no name of the Church. The names of the Bride and Groom and their RC denomination, their parents only listed with Surnames and then names of the Witnesses and the date of the marriage. That's all. No other info as to where they resided, occupations etc. Maureen > Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2008 17:20:18 -0800 > From: maryln61@sbcglobal.net > To: irl-limerick@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] IFHS records > > Maureen~ > Were these sacramental records from a Church or were they Civil Records which for Protestants started in 1845?? > I have the marriage (Civil) for my g grandparents from Limerick City 1862.

Maureen~ Sadly, that is all the data on the sacramental ones, we have found. When the Civil Records started in 1864 there was a bit more info such as addresses at the time for the bride and groom, their occupations and the names of the father's and their occupations but no address. In some cases you could assume that the bride lived at home but not always true, same for the groom. Mary Ellen
