Hi I have just started my family tree and have discovered my Great Great Grandmother was called Ann Cormick. She married Thomas Oakley on 28 september 1871 at Navan. Her father is listed as Edwards Cormick (I imagine it should be Edward middle initial s). She had a son Thomas born in Ireland and then moved to England. If anyone could help me find any other info I would be really grateful. I think the Navan parish records were burnt. Many thanks Debs

Hi
Thanks for your message.
Information regarding Catholic parish registers for Navan can be seen here: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseact…
Church of Ireland parish registers for the period up to 1870-are public records. Registers are available for about one third of the parishes, however many were destroyed in the Public Records Office in Dublin in 1922. Most are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. A list of all surviving registers is available in the National Archives. http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf
