Subject: Marriage licenses in 1900
Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2005 16:21:02 EDT


Can anyone advise me on marriage licences in 1900 in Ireland please? I have
searched for the marriage of my grandparents Elizabeth Bowden and William
Moore for many years now without success. I am beginning to think that they may
have married on board a ship as my grandmother did go to NZ in 1891 and
stayed for several years. I have been advised that to marry on board a ship one
must have a marriage licence. Or if they got married in some small church in
Ireland Should this be the case, where would I look for a copy of the marriage
licence please? Any advise would be very gratefully received.

Kindest Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England.
