RE: Kilmurry-Ibrickane Parish Tithe 1826 and 1834 The 4th June 1826 Tithe Applotment Book for Kilmurry-Ibrickane Parish has 32 townlands listed on 71 pages. The record is well preserved and the hand writing is beautiful. Under some of the townlands there are local district names that are not “offici...

Thank you for your comments. I would be surprised that the Bishop was involved with each marriage dispensation. There are literally a few dispensations noted each month especially after 1870.

Michael Egan & Margaret Corry
Witnesses: James Corry & John Ryan
Priest: P. Moran

Any idea what year they were married?

Daren, I have look at many Irish marriage records civil and church and have found two males listed as witnesses. I have noticed in a few cases that the witnesses names were the same names as the father's of the Bride and Groom. I don't know if this is just a coincidence. With such large families bro...

John, What is your source that the O'Brien and Sexton marriage is from Scarriff? Can you locate the family in the Griffith Valuation?
