Dear Listers, Richard is posting his mails and although he can see that they appear in archives, he is not receiving a copy of his mails, Hence I am re-posting this mail to see what happens and see if he gets my mail, but if any of you have information on this family Richard would be delighted to hear from one and all. Perhaps to the list may be the better way to go then one and all will be able to see why these things that are being noted are not being found >.......

From the recently published Irish BMD index on Family Search I found the following details about the marriage of David EDGE and Catherine BARRINGTON: Reg District Rathdrum; Reg Date Jan-Mar quarter 1896......collection Ireland Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958. On this basis I applied to Roscommon for a copy of the marriage certificate including the date 10/1/1896 and the place St Saviour's Church Rathdrum which, I think, I obtained a couple of years ago when visiting Rathdrum and looking at the parish records there. I have just received a note from Roscommon saying that after checking their records for the years 1895 to 1897 they have been able to find "no entry corresponding to the particulars given in your recent application". Can anyone on the list explain why this might be so?
