William b 1818 in Wicklow,Constable in Pilltown married Johanna Rice in 1845,parish of Clonmore. William's father John, Johamma's father Michael, both were farmers. I'm looking for Johanna's birth record and any information about the Rice family
Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Clonmore is actually a townland in the parish of Killeshin.
If the couple were married there then it is possible that this is the parish where Johanna was born and baptised in as generally (although not always) weddings took place in the bride?s parish.
Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Killeshin parish, follow this link:
There are scanned images of these records available here:

There is a parish of Clonmore on the Carlow Wicklow border maybe it is that parish that they were married in.
