Genealogy Workshop: Lesson Eleven: Irish Marriage Records
There are a variety of sources which record marriages that took place in Ireland.
For most marriages that occurred after 1864 there would be a Civil record and
an entry in the Marriage register of the relevant parish.
However in some cases a marriage may be recorded in several additional sources,
e.g. newspaper notice, marriage settlement, a Will, Marriage License, etc.
Each of these may contain information not recorded in the more common sources.
These should not be ignored especially as they become more accessible through
indexing and presentation on websites such as Otherdays.com.

http://www.otherdays.com/
Otherdays.com - Irish genealogy, history, maps, photographs and prints for
Ireland
Search numerous Irish genealogical databases including the complete Griffith's
Valuation of Ireland and validate your searches by viewing all of the given
original source documents.
Remember that you will be able to zoom and pan through all photographs,
prints & drawings, rare books, newspapers, genealogical records and maps to
explore and examine images in the finest of detail.

family historians.
Although many registers were destroyed in the past, especially in the fire in the
Public Record Office of Ireland in 1922, many others have survived in a number
of custodies and are available to researchers.

Irish Family History Foundation

Your gateway to discovering all about your Irish ancestry, roots,
genealogy and family history from anywhere in Ireland. We cover the 32
counties of Ireland, North, South, East and West. There has been a growing
interest among those of Irish ancestry in tracing their Irish roots in recent years.
With the advent of computers, genealogy in Ireland has come of age. It is now
possible to have research carried out on one's family history from
the millions of genealogical records computerised at the Irish Family
History Foundation's network of research centres in Ireland. The Irish Family
History Foundation is the coordinating body for a network of government
approved genealogical research centres in the Republic of Ireland (Eire) and
in Northern Ireland which have computerised tens of millions of Irish
ancestral records of different types.

Old Irish School Records  
Jean McCarthy has posted another 100 old school records on her web site.
This new batch ranges from 1868 to 1874. They cover schools in Belfast,
Holywood, Cultra and surrounding areas. The first few records are a bit sparse on information but generally they give, Name of the school, Date of Entry,
Register Number, Pupil's Name, Age of Pupil last birthday, Religious
Denomination, Residence, Occupation or means of living of parents. I have
included all the children who were on the register and not just my names of
interest. I hope this might be of interest and that at least some of you will find
it helpful to your research.

Website revolving around a character called Postman Bill in Derry City Ireland.
At first look not an interesting site but further digging will show you that this
site is a wealth of fascinating information about Irish families, life and research,
I would recommend a read through this site to anyone who has not yet started
but wants to undertake Irish Research.
As a case study it makes very interesting reading. It will also provide insights
|into the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Post Office records. Not the easiest
|site to browse it takes a bit of getting used to but is well worth it

Irish Origins Web site
NEW AT IRISH ORIGINS Partnering with Eneclann Ltd., an Irish
genealogical research and publishing company, and the National Library of
Ireland, Origins.net has added what it calls the "definitive version" of
Griffith's Valuation to its
Irish Origins Web site. Compiled during the mid-19th century, Griffith's
Valuation assessed taxes owed by the people of Ireland. It contains more than
1 million names of landowners, landlords, tenants with leases and renters.
Because nearly all 19th-century
Irish census returns were destroyed during two disasters, Griffith's Valuation is
now considered the "census substitute" by many researchers.
To search and view Griffith's Valuation records on Irish Origins, you must
register for seven-day or 14-day access to the site ($9 and $14 respectively).
In coming months, Origins.net also plans to add the Index of Irish Wills
1484-1858 and the William Smith O'Brien Petition 1848-1849 to Irish Origins
