John & Mary Collins

Hello Marie,

 You no doubt have found little on the transcribed marriage records at rootsireland as to the identity of their father’s or townland. You should now apply to the GRO https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx for a research copy of the Civil Registration record which should have at least the father’s name and townland to enable you to further your research.

The important details to include are the Registration district Rathkeale , and the Vol and Page No.  5 and 283. Registration Date Apr - Jun 1882 . You can request the copy doc to be sent by email to speed up the process.

Cost details for a research copy etc :- A photocopy of an entry in the records can be purchased for €4.00.

With the National Library of Ireland launching their free to view site of Catholic Parish records (microfilmed) about the 8th July you will have the opportunity to view the actual parish records for the above parishes to see if the records reveal anything more than the transcribed records.
