I believe my grandparents were married on May 1, 1913 in Rathdowney. I would like confirmation of the date and in which Roman Catholic Church they were married. My grandfather was John J. Keogh who was born in Mountrath in or around July 4, 1887. My grandfather's parents were James J. Keogh and Anastasia Delahunt. I believe my grandmother, Elizabeth Josephine Conroty, was born in county Kilkenney in or around September 18, 1886.

John:
Here is the civil marriage index record for the marriage of John Keogh and Eliza Conroy. The marriage occurred in the April-June quarter in 1913 which corresponds to your May 1, 1913 date. You can get a copy of the civil record for around 4 euros from the General Register Office. It will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where they were living in 1913. It will not show the name of the church. Belwo are instructions for getting a copy of the record. let me know if your have questions.

Print the form and complete the requested information. Also provide the information from the index record--quarter/year of the event. registration district and the volume and page number where the event is recorded.
