Trying to find parents

Hello
I am trying to find the parents and their place of residence, in Dublin, of my g.g. grandfather.
My great great grandfather, was John Tutty, born around 1822, according to census entries.
He married twice. He stated his father was John Tutty, and the first time, his father was a glass blower, the second time his father was a valet.
My.g.g. grandfather was living in England in 1845, when he married his first wife.
I havent much more info, than that. I can find any birth records, for him as there were a few John Tuttys, so cant be sure to have the correct one. I have looked on all the Irish sites, and familysearch and I am a member of both ancestry and findmypast, but still cant decide who the family might be.
There IS a marriage, between John Tutty to a Bridget Rowe, which I have added temporarily, as the witness James Doyle comes from Ballbridge. I have found that that area, of Haddington Road isnt too far from a glass works, tying in with the statement that John was a glass blower in 1845.
Does anyone have any ideas, or advice, please.

Hi Ladyjane, the piece of information that may assist is the religion of the person as we are relying on church records at this remove. The church records for Dublin are here and are free just sign in, however the John Tutty born is RC and the years are a bit out, I also found 3 John Tutty born in WIcklow next door to Dublin and in 1823 a John Tutty father John born in Waterford in hte south west of Ireland and Church of Ireland, (Protestant or Anglican) the mother is only given as Mary Tutty. The place is Dungarvan, and the date is 20th August. There are siblings here a Mary; George and Elizabeth, there are 2 Georges one in 1815 and one in 1825 indicative the first George died, also in 1811 there are two entries for the same day Eliza and Elizabeth, assuming two entries for the one child or twins but the name is the same.

This is the only John with a father John to suit and still in Waterford in 1825, there are other Tutty children in Dungarvan also but father Edmund and this time RC, most appear to be RC. 

In the early 1800s there was a church in Dublin known as the German Church which performed mainly marriages if the couple were in a hurry for any reason, father a sailor or soldier or I assume the obvious reason, not sure if there records are online but they should be, also may have done baptisms, you can read about it here https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/irish-roots-list-of-irregular-marriages-from-19th-century-dublin-published-1.2284467 

Also about 40% of Church of Ireland records were lost in the Civil War, RC records were not too good outside Dublin but Dublin should be ok and you can view here under Church Records the Dublin ones, it is free but sign in. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ Dublin church records are here but not all church records, most are not. 

The Dublin City library in Pearse Street is the local place for information, see http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-recreation-culture-dublin-city-public-libraries-and-archive/heritage-and-history I am not sure what you can access from outside Ireland but you can try an email anyway.

Good Luck

Pat

Thank you so much, for your time and advice, Pat.
I very much appreciate both. I will certainly look at the links you have set out and have your reply, printed out, beside me, whilst I continue to research. Thank you, again
