Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked Roots Ireland from 1838-1848 in Co. Leitrim and they had ten different John Mac Sharry baptismal records in that period. None were in 1843. Do you have any info on his parents names? Otherwise, we won't be able to confirm if any of these records were for your ancestor. Likely the family was from the upperhalf of Co. Leitrim.

I looked for an 1863 marriage record at this site www.irishgenealogy.ie but got no record. Civil registration started in 1864.
