Registration of non-Catholic marriages began in 1845 in Ireland. Registration of births, marriages and deaths, regardless of religion, began January 1, 1864 so you can use this resource. Certificates for births, marriages and deaths for all of Ireland until 1922 and for the Republic since 1922 are housed in Dublin. Belfast has the records for Northern Ireland from 1922 to present in addition to the all Ireland records from 1864-1922. Civil registration of births, deaths and marriages in Ireland names the townland that is the address in rural Ireland. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Mormons, has copies of almost all of the General Register Office indices and some registers, making direct access to both registers and indices possible through the local Family History Centers. You can do-it-yourself at the local Family History Centers because the FHL has acquired Irish civil registration records.

RE: Civil Registration of Ireland births and marriages in the South from 1864-1878, records held in Belfast. 1) What information does Belfast need to know to provide birth and marriage certificates? Is first name, surname, month, year, and parents' names enough (from 1900 US Census)? Or must one have the civil parish as well? 2) Is this Belfast record office called PRONI? Do you by chance have the address or a URL to a web site? Many thanks!
