You can order an photocopy of Marraige from gro.
Everything will be on Cert except Harp and costs only 4-5euros,, whereas true copy cost 10euros.
All information that you need is on here, there was no quarters included until about 1875ish.
Dublin only holds true copies of births registered in all Ireland (including) Northern Ireland from 1864 to 1922 when the North stayed in U.K. and South became a Republic.
From 1922 B,M,Ds are held in Dublin for the whole of the Republic.
Space or lack of is reason given .
Roscommon does hold all B.M.Ds from 1864 as well as Non Catholic Marraiges from 1845.
Proni in the north of Ireland hold 6 county B.M.Ds from 1922 to present date.
Hope you can understand what i mean.
Betty.

Hi Clover, Just a quick thank you for your advice & help, I think I'm knocking down a Brick wall that has been bugging me for a long time with all the help from you and all the helpers here on" Community", again a big THANK YOU to you all.

But can I ask what is "Harp", please not sure what you mean, I will be sending for a full copy, as prefer it as it can be a source of information as well,

I have Civil Marriage record for Henry Mckenna & Ellen Sullivan, 07 Jan 1869, Kilkenny District 1.
Henry is listed as Sub Constable RIC, fathers name James Mckenna.
Ellen Sullivan is listed as Dress maker, fathers name John Sullivan.

Regards Nemises.

I think 'harp' means the official seal that shows it is a certified true copy, for Ireland the seal symbol is the harp

it's cheaper to get a photocopy that isn't certified true copy but it has all the information on it, a certified true copy isn't needed for family history ( you need a certified true copy to prove you are married if your spouse dies or some such )

I don't know whether the certificate will show more than what you have but maybe ages and witnesses ?
