If you write to The Presbytery, Claremorris, Co. Mayo, Ireland, they can check their marriage records for your ancestor. They found the baptismal record for my grandfather born in 1858.

Pacific Standard Time, philmcd@bethere.co.uk writes: At the risk of advertising my ignorance, may I ask anyone on the list with knowledge of Catholic churches in South Mayo in the 19th century to help me with a query. I recently discovered the marriage of my ancestor Thomas McDonough through one of the online genealogy services. The information I have is: Type Marriage Record (Church) Husband Name Thomas Mc Donough Wife Name Margaret Bourke Date of Marriage 1 March 1840 Centre Name South Mayo Parish Name Kilcolman RC parish Parish Type Roman Catholic Witness 1 Stephen Bourke Witness 2 Catherine Smith Reference 1-29 Now, what I would like to know is does "Kilcolman RC parish" refer to a specific church or simply to any one of many in the parish of Kilcolman? Naturally if it were possible to identify the actual church it would be wonderful. Any ideas anyone?
