Can anyone tell me where I can find a copy of the original marriage record below?

I am trying to find a copy of the original marriage record for William Ensko and Charlotte Coughlen. I found the indexed record on familysearch.org but want to verify the information from the original.

The marriage date is listed as 20 January 1847

Place: Kilkee (Kilfeira), Clare,

Registration District: Kilrush,

Volume 6, page 341. Record Set: Irish Marriages 1845-1958. 

FamilySearch Reference ID: 2:3KGKJWD

  • Since the marriage was registered and appears on the BMD index it was non-Catholic or took place in a registry office. You can use the references from the index, i.e. the name, district, year, volume and page numbers to order a research cert from the GRO by post or Fax. These research certs are a photocopy of the register entry. A marriage cert includes place & date of marriage, names and residences for the bride and groom, father's names and occupations,  occupation of the groom, sometimes the bride also, name of minister or registrar and names of witnesses. See option one at this link (Irish Genealogy.ie) for a link to download the order form and note on the process.

    EDIT : There's a partial extracted record of the marriage on FamilySearch which gives some of the details :

    Name : William Ensko, reported age 32 (est year of birth 1815)
    Spouse : Charlotte Coughlan, reported age 20 (est. year of birth 1827)
    Marriage Date : 20 Jan 1847
    Location Kilkee (Kilfeira), Co. Clare
    Groom's father : Robert Ensko, Bride's father Daniel Coughlan

  • Kilfeira is possibly a reference to the village and townland of Kilfearagh, which is in the civil parish of the same name (sometimes as Kilfieragh) and Kilrush Civil Registration district and is located just south of Kilkee and was the location of an old Church of Ireland church - see Killfearagh (c1840 OSI map), and the entry for the (civil) parish in Lewis Topographical Dictionary of 1837  (Library Ireland)
