Hi I discovered that the RCB has put their list of parish registers online with a list of their manuscripts. Their library is now online but not older publications. Look under catalogues here: http://www.ireland.anglican.org/index.php?do=about&id=42 There can be more than just registers in the parish files eg Tithe books, vestry booke etc. In the manuscript list there is a 155 page extract of the Marriage Licenses for Ossary from 1734 to 1803. It lists about 550 marraiges. Off I went looking for Valentines but found none. As an interlude while the Irish Gov is flushing us down the X$%^ I see that Mary Hanfin has just said: "The refurbishment of the Historic Wings of the National Gallery, the upgrade of the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the upgrade of the National Museum will be completed. The digitisation programmes of key historic papers and collections will continue." Back to my reading of the Ossary Marriage L:icenses... For some reason Brownrigg always jumps out at me when I read something and so here are the Brownrigg reference I found!! 8/2/1747 Samuel Brownrigg, Coolcullen Kilkenny to Ann Hunt, Kilaree Kilkenny 21/2/1754 John Blackmore, Dowling Kilkenny to Anne Brownrigg, Widow, Dowling Kilkenny 15/9/1766 Henry Brownrigg, Carrick on Sure Tipperary to Susannah Bowers, alias Blackmore, widow 11/2/1771 James Munns, Cooper, Waterford to Margaret Brownrigg, Glenmore, spinster 25/7/1777 William Brownrigg, Ballylane Carlow to Catherine Deane, Rowen, spinster 7/7/1786 John Meade, Rogerstown Kilkenny, Farmer, to Ann Brownrigg, Fiddoun, spinster 26/12/1786 Robert Blackmore, Dawling Kilkenny to Dorothea Brownrigg, union of Fiddown, spinster 24/10/1789 Charles Hayden, Naas Kildare to Mary Brownrigg, Fiddown, spinster 16/7/1794 Thomas Brownrigg, Major in Col.
