Obtaining grandparents' wedding certificate in NI

7 replies

Willowskyblue · 25/07/2025 13:33

I have both their birth certificates and would like to get a hold of their marriage certificate. I did a search but it came back with no result as the only search 5 years either side of the date, and I made a guess at the year of marriage. Is there another way to find their marriage certificate please? They were both born in Tattyreach in the 1880s and emigrated to New Zealand, presumably after marriage. My dad was born in 1917 (the third of 9 children) so I guesstimated 1905 as the wedding year but no luck.

Civil records are available online for free at irishgenealogy.ie. They would cover this period

That’s county Fermanagh ?
Norther Ireland Records are incomplete as far as I know.
Can you locate them in the 1900 and 1911 Census? It is online in NI . .

Just want to let you know that I turned up nothing in a 20 year window for the marriage of my great-grandparents centred on 1885. Years later I was looking for the marriage of my great-uncle in the BMD index and they happened to be the entry above! They'd lived together as husband and wife, same surname etc for 45 years until they decided to marry. I'd love to know why.

All Irish marriages from 1845 (32 counties) to 1949 (26 counties post-1921) are available and free to search on Irish Genealogy as mentioned above with the exception of some v early Catholic marriages. NI records after partition are searchable but there's a charge for it.

I think your guess of 1905 is too late and would think they married 1912-14. They seem to be unproblematicly fertile and I would expect a year to 18 months between the first pregnancies. I could be wrong.

Not late! Early.
