How can find out which church a couple were married at in Co.Down? I have the name of the town but believe I need the name of the church to get a certificate.

Depends what year you are looking for. If the marriage was within the dates of civil registration, you can apply to General Register Office, at 8-11 Lombard St, Dublin 2, Indexes of irish BMDs can be found at most LDS centres.

Hi Elaine I belong to a few Irish sites and have a few bits and bobs on disc. You could try www(.)familyulster(.)com (remove brackets) for the cert you can get the index there for £4.00. Not used them myself but seen them recommended. If you want anything else looking up just give me a shout. Kindest regards Maureen
