WexfordEnniscorthy (Wexford)

If anyone knows of the regulations regarding registering for a marriage in an RC church in Wexford could you please help? did the people registering for the marriage have to live in the parish? and did they have to leave a date of birth? if a wedding certificate stated that the man was a widower would he have to prove it by producing a death certificate of his deceased wife? We know that banns had to be read by the priest on a sunday but other than that we know nothing so any help would be appreciated.

kind regards

Dear Thomas and Margaret

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.

Generally speaking, the couple married in the 'home' parish where the bride lived. You can see from the link below all of the details in relation to this:
