Morning listers. Have just received a marriage certificate that has taken me 5 years to find the details of, and am sooooo disappointed with it. I have never seen a certificate with the fathers details as DEAD, but on this one, where it says Fathers name and surname, for both bride and groom it just states DEAD. And in rank or profession it has a dash for both. The certificate is for a marriage in July 1875. in Carrick on Suir, Tipperary. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, and is there anyway I can find the parents names. It is bitterly disappointing to come up against such a thick brick wall.Any comments would be appreciated.
