Marriage look up in St Mary's RC church Ratkeale please.

Rathkeale RC parish records start in 1811. They will be going on-line free on the National Library site in Dublin from around the 8th July. If you are content till wait till then, you should be able to look them up yourself.

It's on www.rootsireland.ie/ but doesn't have much more than you already know:

Name: William Higgins Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 24-Dec-1837 Address: Parish/District: RATHKEALE Gender: Unknown County Co. Limerick Denomination: Roman Catholic Father: William Higgins Mother: Margaret Reidy Occupation: Sponsor 1 / Informant 1: Joe. Casey Sponsor 2 / Informant 2: Sarah Delahunty

The marriage is not on Roots Ireland for any parish including Rathkeale. They were likely married in the bride's parish which may have been different than Rathkeale and their available records start later than 1837. However, as Elwyn indicates, check the Rathkeale register when available.

I did find two siblings both Bridgets in 1839 and 1845. Likely the 1839 Bridget died young.
