I would appreciate it if some kind person could see if they could find a marriage certificate for a Margaretta Laycock and William John Bligh Connell(O'Connell). My gt grandfather was born to them in Dublin 1843. Margaretta died in 1843. Also if there is a birth certificate I would appreciate info on that also. I know it's a big ask especially coming out of Ireland, but I have hit a brick wall on this. THANKING YOU. Regards Patricia.

Regards Patricia.
