Don't get your hopes up too high . . . it's highly likely that the
certificate will just say "Ireland". At least that's what I've found on
the half-dozen marriage licenses and naturalization papers I've copied
from there. In my case they just said "England" or "Austria". The papers
ranged from as early as 1870 to as late as 1924.

Here's hoping that your ancestors' responses and the recording clerk were
more detailed!
