Hi,

I was wondering if anyones knows if there is a free irish site like freebmd.com

I want to buy my grandparents marriage certificate but i don't no what year it was, i only have a month subscription on hee for england and wales, so can't look on here.

If anyone knows of any sites i would be very grateful for any info.
Thanks
Lorna

There is the Mormons' site.

I shall bring forward a useful thread on Irish research.

familysearch has the Irish BMD indexes but searching them is not as easy as freebmd!

Have you a rough idea of when the marriage took place ( you parent's birth date or that of any older siblings will give you some help for that) and whether it was Southern or Northern Ireland?

Thank you.

Hi Potty,

My dad was born in 1948 and he has a older brother, mayber 2 years older, it is southern ireland, I think the marriage would proberly have been in County Meath or County Louth, but can not be sure about that.

This site:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://hr-search-api:8080/searchapi/search/collection/1408347

is for the Irish BMD indexes upto 1958 for Southern Ireland. Click on Advanced Search and select Marriage for the event. You will need to search each name individually and try to find a match - can take a long time if they are common names.

Thanks so much, will give it a go.

Ancestry have also now added birth, deaths and marriage in Ireland.... the years cover what you need.

Although this is not a free site others, including me, have subs so maybe able to help.

That's true, Dee; unfortunately for me the baptisms *seem* so far to be only Catholic; so far, my Irish ancestral family have been Church of Ireland.

Hi JKM,

how annoying for you. With any luck they will add the C of I records soon.

:-D

Hi, I pay monthly to Ancestry, where to I find the Southern Ireland BDM please?
