When did the marriage occur? I located a civil marriage index record in 1933 in Dublin and one of the possible spouses was a William McGrane

What town was 51 Patrick Street located in?

Hi Roger, 

thank you for your reply.

yes they probably did get married around that time. I am not sure where they are from and the only information I have is Dublin south city No 3 and I do know that is a big area and the only information I could find out was when I put that address in google 51 Patrick street is now a spar shop near Finglas, but there are probably hundreds of Patrick street across Ireland so I am lost with that one...

thanks

Thank you Roger, 

would I be able to get their marriage certificate from anywhere Or their death certificates I would like to know where they lived in Ireland and that would probably have those details on also I would like to find out a bit more about them if they had brothers and sisters ect ....

Pat:

You can a copy of the marriage record from the General Register office for around 4 euros. See instructions below.

I can't help you with where they lived after they married since the latest census available is 1911.

Check the 1911 census www.census.nationalarchives.ie There were 13 William McGrane records in Dublin and most of them were younger. Not sure how you will know which one is the one who married Elizabeth.

Go to this link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx In the middle of the page there are links for birth, marriage or death certificates. Hit the link for the form you want.  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. Make sure you ask for a copy which costs around 4 euros. ( A cert costs closer to 20 euros). You can also ask the GRO to e-mail the copy back to you.

Is your grandfather William McGrane who married Elizabeth Jackson of 51 Patrick Street, Dublin? They eventually moved to Crumlin?

Hi Pat,
If you need anymore information about your grandparents, I have more. I know their burial ground, home, sons, daughters and grandchildren.
Their home address was on Durrow road, Crumlin, Dublin. I have photos of them and family.
