I'm trying to trace Irish records for my great grandmother but am drawing a blank.

Details as follows

Born either 1862 or 1865 (marriage cert states 62 but I suspect she was under age)
in Kings County Ireland
Father James O'Brien Wheelwright

Married John Grocott Liverpool 1883

Any help would be appreiated

Is this your message with the birth year a mistake (marriage checks out for 1883) -

I'm trying to search my great grandmother's line but have come to a halt.

Her name on her marriage certificate was Agnes Adeline O'Brien, place of birth Kings County 1842-1845

Her father was recorded as James O'Brien a wheelwright.

She married John Grocott in Liverpool in 1883. Her date of birth was 1842 but I think this may have been incorrect due to needing parental permission if under 21yrs.

And a reply -
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched Roots Ireland and searched in Co. Offaly for an Agnes O'Brien baptismal record with father James. The only record that came up was March 27 1859 in Birr. Father James O'Brien and mother Bridget Ryan.

Thank you all for your help.

I was hoping that Agnes's middle name might make it easier to trace but I know that it is quite a common name.

Your replies are gratefully appreciated.
