	Early Parish Records in Ireland..at least the ones I have obtained don't give that much detail. I suspect it all depends on each individual parish as to what is recorded...so don't build you hopes up on finding anything definite. Some Marriage records in Co. Dublin that I have only quote a marriage date, bride and groom's names and Witnesses.....1843. By 1859 - 1883 they quote both parents names for the bride and groom and the place where they were living, no exact address though.
