I have found where my 2X Grandparents were married but I would like to obtain the actual documentation from the church.
Date:March 30, 1854
Place: bovevagh, Derry, Northern Ireland
Bride: Elizabeth McMullen
Groom: James Green(e)
Barony Keenaght
Would the marriage be in her parish or his parish??

The couple were married in Bovevagh Church of Ireland, in the parish of Bovevagh. Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church. Here’s a copy of their marriage certificate:
Unfortunately that church’s records were lost in the 1922 fire in Dublin and they have no baptisms earlier than 1878 and no marriages before 1845.
If you want a formal copy of the marriage you can order it from GRONI for £15. You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2.50 (sterling) to a view a certificate:
Alternatively you can order a research copy (ie photocopy) from GRO Roscommon for €5. https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx
You can e-mail your order to them and they will e-mail the certificate back to you.
