Hi List, many thanks for your replies. Sadly the registers aren't complete and I am not sure exactly where around Gorey Norah was supposed to have been married. I have applied to the GRO in Ireland and only come across one instance of a birth of a Norah, sadly it appears to be the wrong one! I have exhausted a few other routes but will plod on regardless. Many thanks for your help.
