Hi List I have been searching marriage films index held at the latter day of saints. I found a record for Matilda Donaghey but could find the cross reference for it to Daniel Galbraith. It gave me a reference of vol 2 pge 197 in the march 1886 quarter Londonderry Can anyone help me out on how i can go about obtaining a photo copy of this record as cheaply as possible as i am not 100% sure this is the right record. Many thanks Robyn

The first thing to say Robyn is that ther should be a cross reference for Daniel Galbraith if this is the correct reference - you should be able to find a Daniel Galbraith - or some variation on the surname Galbraith, if this Margaret is the right one. The alternative is that Daniel was not his first name and that there is a Galbraith of another first name with the same vol and page number reference - sometimes, onl;y the first name is used in the references. But - whatever name is used - there has to be a Galbraith or variation on that spelling with the same references in order for you to find a Galbraith on that marriage record. Now, the cheapest way for you to do this is to go to the web site of the General Registrar's Office in Dublin http://www.gro.ie and there you will find information on how to order a photocopy of a reference that you already have - quoting that vol and page number for a reasonably cheap fee - between 2 and 3 Euro To the best of my knowledge, they do not 'search' or check records for you, but, if you have a reference for them, then they will post out a photocopy of that record to you - generally speaking, they simply photocopy and post - unfortunately, some records are very faded, or placenames/names spelled differently to the ways you see on other records and they will not read the records for you to tell you exactly what is on them - if the photocopy is bad, then that's the condition of the record and that's what you get. If you purchase a full certificate from them, then they have to work out exactly what is written on any record - that is to say if the original is in bad condition - hard to read - then they are obliged to work out exactly what the words are and put them into the full certificate. One of the things that people don't realise is that all civil registration record photocopies are available through the Dublin General Registrar's Office for all the counties of Northern Ireland up to the year 1922.
