Just in case someone might have some leads, my ggrandparents were Cornelius and Mary (nee) Harrington. Per the marriage index, they were married 12 or 22 September, 1863 in Houghton, MI. Any tips on finding names of their parents would be GREATLY appreciated. Betsy Harrington

Parents are not listed in records for the early years. Before 1867 especially. The information before 1863 contained in a marriage record is sporadic because there were no forms. Parents names were listed in the latter part of the 1800's and then not always. Lot of Harrington's in the Houghton area at that time. Have you been able to find what county or town in Ireland they came from?
