Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Do you have the approximate year of birth for Michael Corrigan and Elizabeth Scally? Do you have their parents names? Images of civil birth records are available up to 1915 on www.irshgenealogy.ie so we should be able 

I checked further and found the November 2o, 1935 civil marriage record which is below. They were married in the Cathedral in Mullingar. The father's were borth named Thomas. You have to sign-in to see the record.
