Dorrity Family /Sarah Dorrity married James Short 1848 Drum Church Currin.

Dear Try4meck:

Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome to the site!

The surname "Dorrity" sounds like a variant of Doherty and you might note this in your research.

Unfortunately, the parish of Currin doesn't have Catholic parish registers available online through the Roots Ireland (a subscription website).  However, there are 2 registers listed under the National Library of Ireland parish registers site and the link is below:

In addition, you may also find the Irish Genealogy website useful as it has the Civil registration records online.  The Civil Registration only began in 1864.

The website is below:

As Sarah's husband was an RIC member, you might also be interested in looking at RIC research which has been done.  There is a website dedicated to this:

The Genealogy site FindMyPast also has police records available.

The best of luck with your research.

Please also consider creating an Ancestor profile for this family as that may help further your research.  Other members will be able to read about your ancestor and someone may also be researching the same family or have information on the area.  You can create a profile at the link below:
