Civil Marriage Registrations 1865 - 1870

Registrar's District of Letterkenny

 

Alphabetical by Groom Surname

 

Notes:

These 163 marriage registrations represent about 70% of the registrations between 1866 and the end of the first quarter of 1870 - there are some gaps, but not many.

I have done my best to transcribe these without error and to enter the standard spellings for the townland names, adding the parishes to the entries as well. Some of the entries are very hard to read, so it is best that, if you can identify a marriage being one belonging to your family, you email me and I will then send you a scan of the registration for you to look at for yourself. Email me with the date and the names of the bride and groom.

Thanks to Cass for sending me scans of these so I could transcribe them all!
