I don't know if there was a garrison church at Fermoy. Probably not. In
Cork for example, a large number of marriages of took place at S. Patrick's
which is close to the Barracks. Of interest is that in the marriage
registers there are additional documents at the back for some cases which
are a Declaration of conversion to Catholicism (compliments of Jean
Prendergast http://homepage.eircom.net/~ridgway/ccn.htm ).

Reagrds,
