Hi Melanie, Congratulations on finding an Irish origin! The marriage cert. should tell you more than the county and district, though -- it should tell you the specific townlands (for both groom and bride), which opens all sorts of other records (land, estate, church, etc.). With a Griffith's Valuation map and GV and other data, you may be able to find the exact farm / plot of land they lived on. For those who don't know, the Ireland Marriage, 1619-1898 database on beta.familyearch.org is (mostly) the BVRI CD-ROMs now online. (The database says "some" of the records in the db were previously pub'd as the BVRI, but doesn't say what additional info is in the db. Still, they provide the BVRI coverage chart for reference, so I'm guessing that most, if not all, of the data in the db is from the CD-ROMs). It can be helpful in breaking down walls, though, as Melanie has shown. Congratulations, again, Melanie! Claire K.
