Hi Nancy,

The Irish content of the British Isles Vital Records Index CD is as follows:


County and Number of Places Extracted
Galway 1
Roscommon 10

Civil Registration: births
The whole of Ireland 1865-1874

Civil Registration: marriages
The whole of Ireland 1847-1864

Society of Friends
1850-1875

Please note that it was not compulsory for the civil recording of Catholic
marriages until 1864, therefore the marriages on the CD are mainly non-RC.
I did check the cd and failed to find your couple.

Regards,
Philip
