Hi,
Thank you very much for your message.
Civil registration only began in Ireland in 1864 so for THomas and Matilda?s marriage certificate you will have to look in church records.
Presbyterian registers are held in three main locations:
PRONI has microfilm copies of almost all registers in Northern Ireland and also lists of records held by the Presbyterian Historical Society.
