Pat, I received my parents marriage cert. in 2003 and the fee was reasonable. Kenneth R. Cobb was the director. NYC Dept. of Records & Info Services Municipal Archives 31 Chambers St. N.Y., NY 10007 [212] 788-8580 www.nyc/html/doris They search all 5 boroughs and unless things have changed you'll need the year. The fee was so small I had them search 2 years.

Names CARMODY. John J. and NOTT, Mary (Agnes). **I have checked both the Italian and German genealogy sites, numerous times also, and still have never found the info. They both lived on Upper East side of Manhattan, as far as family knew at the time. All we know/knew is in first year of marriage she had still- birth to twin boys probably in 1923 In Manhattan, ( (and before you ask they did not elope to another state as parents were at their wedding) a daughter was born in July 1924 and a son in April 1926. A sister in law had all the info once upon a time but it is gone now and so is she, along with the 2 children of this marriage. I came along 10 years later but Mary was not my Mother. I didn't even know about these children of my Father til I was 28 and they would never answer any questions in regard to their parents. They are NOT together in either the 1920 census, he was in US Navy and she was in NH then, and they separated before 1930. Also cannot find marriage for my grandfather, John CARMODY to Nora (Mulcahy) Sullivan, a widow, approx,1900-1901.......living on E. 60th St. Would any one have idea of RC church in those areas??? **Father lived around E 99th St and 2nd Ave, Mary lived around E 105-107 Sts. at the time, I was told. I am planning to order and look in the films of NYC marriages when the LDS/FHC re-opens sometime next month and see if possibly there is a copy of information regarding a license, If not I will finally give it up. Hopefully the 60 miles trip will finally yield the answer and make it worth while. Then I will send to LDS and get a copy..... But if someone else can find them----you could save me time, energy and gas! LOL!!!!!!!! :-) ====NY-Irish Mailing List==== Don't forget to check out the NY-Irish mailing list website.
