    1. [WEX] Civil Registration- Wexford 1865
    2. joseph murphy
    3. I am attempting to decipher a 1865 civil marriage certificate and I need some help. The reproduction is poor and some of the information is only half legible. This is my first direct family link to a place in Ireland so it is very important. Some of my questions are as follows: The top of the page on which the 4 or 5 marriage notations are printed lists Gorey under the heading of "Superintendent Registrar's District" yet the individual marriage certificate lists a Registrars District(which begins with the letter C I believe) in the Union of Gorey. Would there be a sub-distict under Gorey? Does Union refer to poor law union? As to the place of residence does this refer to a townland? Finally, where could I get a list of names of Catholic churches in that area at that time. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Joe Murphy
