I am looking for both parents of this couple who married in Dromtarriff Parish.Denis O'Connell married Catherine O'Sullivan, June 4 1857. Their children were Margaret, born between 1858 and 1862, Johannah (Hannah) born Feb 20 1860,Katherine about 1865,Helena about 1869, Morris (Maurice) Patrick Oct 30 1875 and Christina about 1877. This family immigrated to Canad via England . Johannah was my great grandmother married to Michael Phillip Larkin . The two younger children may have been born in Greenwich England.

Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in church records? Sometimes marriage records may have the names of the couple's father listed. Or if they were born in Dromtarriff you may be able to find their baptismal reocrds which would contain parents' names. Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be of help to you is the Irishtimes website. Here, they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Dromtarriff follow this link:
For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
Some other websites which may help you are:
