oh sorry i thought it may be all in one place.
I am looking for Josephine Mary Mackay she would have been born sometime round 1886. I have been told she was from Clonmel in Ireland.
Her husband was Patrick Francis Cronin

They had a son in Bethnal Green London in 1904 and after that came to live in Australia.
I have her death cert just looking for the marriage which could be Ireland or England i suppose, but her birth was Ireland

was wondering if the lovely helpful irish researchers could please find me the parents of josephine mary mackey. (or josie mackey) (apparently her mothers maiden name was higgins)
josephine was born in clonmel ireland. also i dont really understand how to interpret the records what date would josephine have been born exactly?

Also what exact date wedding was between patrick and josie?

Another thing i am looking for the parents of Patrick francis cronin and his DOB also please. :) he was born in clonmel co tipp

The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=EUROPE

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
[Not heard of any release dates for next census (=1926 in both Irelands)]

If you don't have a suitable Ancestry sub, you can still do a free search on Ancestry. If you've only found details for one partner in a marr on FS, and have no ideas re spouse, then search on Ancestry for the same year and rego district, and enter the page # as a keyword. Since the same page # could appear in all 4 quarters, look up on FS all the hits to get all the names in your quarter - one of them will be the spouse.
